IL Atty Gen Lisa Madigan on blago's impeachment

January 27, 2009

Lisa Madigan's comments to reporters from the Chicago Tribune's Clout Street, MONIQUE GARCIA.

How is a dramatic early morning staged for national media arrest followed by a Lincoln would roll over in his grave press conference and release of audiotapes that have nothing to do with the impeachment getting a fair trial?

LISA MADIGAN: The governor is making a mockery of the law, he’s making a mockery of the constitution. The whole concept of impeachment has been enshrined in not just Illinois law, but in federal law, from the beginning of our country. It’s talked about in the Federalist Papers, and so for him to claim he’s not going to get any kind of a fair trial and fair process is absolutely absurd.

He’s choosing to not participate, that’s something completely different than not availing yourself of a process and so in some ways, it’s almost admitting that he has nothing to say in his defense, despite what he’s saying on all these talk shows.

We can’t move our state forward at this point until Gov. Blagojevich is out of office and we have a new governor. I look forward to that day and hope it takes place this week.

She's been looking forward to that day for a long time just like everyone else but she said nothing before he was reelected. She's pist she didn't get the senate seat. They all have their own axe to grind and their won personal agendas. On top of that he pulled a fast one with Burris and has brought unwelcome attention to Chicago politics that has always been and will always be how Chicago operates.

OLBERMANN: "Meanwhile a clean Illinois politician" talking about barry. And MARGARET CARLSON: "he hasn't been on the wrong side of the bet in the last two years" and then she actually said that the obama's are the "most famous first family".

Why?

Update: Why can't they leave Gov Palin's family alone?

Countdown

herr olbermann is so hate-filled he would be perfect on al Jazeera. His anger must stem from not being able to see his parts in over a decade. He still is going after Senator Palin (how he refers to her). He made sure to report on Bristol Palin's future mother-in-law's drug related arrest. Now he's after her fiance, Levi Johnston. He just started an electrician's apprenticeship, which evidently requires a high school education. Now, because of the media attention and suggestion that the Gov or First Dude Palin used their influence, he has had to quit the job.

What parent has helped get their kid a job? Levi's dad works on the site which is a normal way of getting your kid a job. I didn't realize Gov Palin had such supreme control of the universe.

Where is that breaking the law or even newsworthy?

Original op-ed was by Dan Fagan some loser radio host. Here's a little insight by one of his fans named Jack:

At first I just called you a FAT BASTARD now I have to ad COMUNIST FAT BASTARD, How did you get your job, on your knees or bent over a desk. Give the Palins a break, Levi is only trying to man up and be a man, take some of his actions and use them for yourself, maybe you could get laid and knock up one of your hookers or boyfriends.

Maybe he's the Anchorage version of herr olbermann.

Anchorage Daily News' WESLEY LOY:

Levi's dad, KEITH JOHNSTON on his son quitting: He felt it was the best thing to do to kind of calm the waters, so to speak.

On no GED: It's just something that slipped through the cracks." He said the lack of a diploma wasn't something that managers at ASRC caught and neither he nor Levi gave it much thought.

You guys are watching him so tightly. He's being treated different than an average 18-year-old kid. He has to do everything by the book now.

Sarah had nothing to do with him getting hired on the Slope. If there was any help getting him on up there, it was because of my associations and no one else's.

This isn't funny anymore - not that it ever was. He has a child to support and media pressure just forced him to quit what would have been excellent lifelong security. Leave them alone to get on with their lives. I really cannot get past the sexism and absolute misogyny. What would happen if she didn't live outside the United States?

OLBERMANN: She is a bottomless pit of political standards. I'd be lost without her.

Says a lot doesn't it?

How often has olbermann reported on the arson of a former vice presidential candidate's church (Wasilla Bible Church) while women and children were clearly inside it when the fire was set?

Worst Person in the World?

And then his I don't even know how to characterize her Margaret Carlson goes on about Blair House. Get over it. They aren't living there. Move on to something important. She says John Howard, Former Primer Minister of Australia is staying there just as some plausible reason.

Why doesn't anyone ask why the Obama's deserve it when they haven't been inaugurated? Why should the whole world be at their feet? It took the Germans and Bush to say no.

What is going to happen to the proobamedia when their eyes are opened once and for all?
