    Bottom feeder:

    2. contemptible person: somebody who profits by taking advantage of other people ( slang insult )

    Burn, I'm so glad to see you pulled your bottom feeder statement.

    You may not like the man, but that was way over the top.

    I think you should heed the advice you gave me: Step back, take a deep breath, exhale. Repeat.

    Not really, something smells rotten in the land of $tincoln.

    And apparently, today is Blago's birthday.

    You guys are something else. And again, you've learned your lessons well from your mentors at Fox, The National Review, Reagan, Limbaugh, Goebbels and the other propaganda experts.

    1) insinuate guilt of opponents man without evidence 2) cry foul (or zombie in this case) when your opponent suggests even a possibility of innocence 3) accuse opponent of your own faults (i.e. Pinwheel Eyed Zealotry) 4) cry foul again for opponent having the audacity to defend themselves or their man 5) sling personal insults 6) cry foul loudest when insults are slung back.

    I like that fact that Obama has called for Blago to resign

    Why didn't he say that yesterday?

    You mean the way Sarah Palin and John McCain called for Ted Stevens to resign when he was convicted? Ooops, no, that wasn't until the next day.

    Goebbles? Somebody needs to lie down someplace dark and quiet and put a cold cloth over their brow.

    Go right ahead Gregor, nothing wrong with a nap in the afternoon.

    Yeah, Goebbels.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    LOL, it must be killing BTS and Gregor that, to intellectually honest people, Obama comes out of this looking even better than he did before, as

    A) he had a (probably accidental) hand in the Governor's recklessness, because he involved himself in Illinois state politics to push a friend to change his vote in order to get an ethics bill passed, which in turn seems to have had the effect of making Blagojevich speed up his money grubbing before the bill went into effect, and

    B) he is shown, by Blagojevich's own voice, to be someone who wouldn't play ball and who is not close to Blagojevich, Blago calling Obama a "motherfu***r" as an example of their lack of relationship.

    There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

    These are his kind of people. There'll be plenty of time to figure out who knew what.

    Patrick Fitzgerald’s charges against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich have drawn a chorus of shock and outrage.

    But Barack Obama’s message man David Axelrod once staked out a much more nuanced position on Fitzgerald’s anti-corruption crusade.

    In a 2005 op-ed, Axelrod argued, in effect, that trading political favors – including jobs – is part of the grease that makes government work.

    He ripped Fitzgerald at the time for trying “to use the criminal code to enforce (his) vision” of “entirely remov(ing) politics from government.”

    The piece in the Chicago Tribune was prompted by Fitzgerald’s indictment of aides to Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley for conspiring to give city jobs as political favors. Daley was Axelrod’s client at the time.
