Queen- Obama was weaned on this town's style of politics- you can't deny that! They're all corrupt as hell.
Jesse Jackson, Jr. has actually been a federal informant for several years, going back to when Blago refused to appoint Mr. Jackson's spouse to a position because he (Mr. Jackson) wouldn't play Blago's game.
Jr. could have come out of this smelling like a rose, if he would have made that public. Now some backers of his, unbeknownst to him, pledge 1.5 million for a seat? ( Can't remember the amount). This smells of rancid machine politics.
If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. IMHO he should have shouted from the rooftops of this pay to play accusation. Perhaps we would not find ourselves in our present situation, had he done so? Again, what do I know?Going to go pick on Lucy for a while....
