Every day that the Walking Pharmaceutical in Armani Suits* jabbers away to Paddy Fitz, the collar around Governor Rod Blagojevich** must feel like Ed Schultz's busting at the stain of fleshy waves like Cuchulain in Yeats' poem battling the sea -
'Stared on the horses of the sea, and heard
The cars of battle and his own name cried;
And fought with the invulnerable tide.'
Pressure. Grace under fire as calamity washes with greater fury, requires the weapon to check insurmountable foe -Fate.
I mean, Jeez, even Pat Quinn is coming on like an uncaged pit-bull from Vick's Doggie Day Care.

Hey, Milorod,here's a Boss Idea! It's Keen! It's Hip and Happenin'!
Do the Maverick! It is the Dance craze sweeping the Nation and John McCain is the Maverick Mambo King!
Break with the public school lobby on School Choice. Give the taxpayers something. Anything.
You have nothing to lose on this one. No need to worry about tossing Jan Schakowsky Obama's seat ( She would be a Lousy Choice and Illinois has had enough Losers in the National Spotlight); no need to worry about Lisa Madigan's, Alexi Giannoulias', orDanny Hynes' growing popularity and good sense; no more worry about Tony Rezko - well maybe a little bit.
You'd be the good guy for a change. Get to dancing, Guv! Do the Maverick Mambo! Be Like McCain!
Take a look at the fine Heritage Foundation Study of Illinois School Choice Initiatives linked above with my post title. Look at all the boondoggles that allows Arne Duncan to cry-out that 190 Million Dollars is not enough for his Tax-Dollar Dry Vac - 'CPS students are now being murdered with bats; only last week they were gunned down! Think of the Children!'
School Choice - Vouchers is the only real change that will improve our miserable public schools and Vouchers will relieve Illinois Tax-payers of an ever-mounting burden.
Do the Maverick Mambo, Guv! Get all John McCain on us in Illinois. Hey, it can't hurt you. You may even lose some of that tightness around the collar.
* Stuart Levine - the professional Board Appointee in the Tony Rezko Trial who has testified to ingesting - Coke- Meth -Uppers & Downers and just about everything but Testor's Glue - well, the trial just started. Hey Jan Schakowsky love Stuart and She want to be our U.S. Senator, well, after all her hubby is an ex-Con:
From Today's Tribune Jan on Stu: "Mazel Tov to you, Stuart, on this special occasion," wrote Democratic U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky in another letter included in the program. "Your strong philanthropic efforts and outstanding leadership have contributed greatly to the Chicago area and beyond."

Thanks Steve.
If Blago wants to rebuild his popularity, this would be a good place to start. The guy is nuts, though, so there is not telling what he'll do.
ReplyDeleteRubes,
ReplyDeleteReal School Choice - Vouchers for every tax-payer in Illinois - makes sense to every person - well maybe not Stu Levine, Blago, Tony Rezko, Jan Schakowsky - every person with both oars in the water, who's elevator goes to the top, who retains a full-load of bricks & etc.
I just love this quote from Jan about Stuart!
"Mazel Tov to you, Stuart, on this special occasion," wrote Democratic U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky in another letter included in the program. "Your strong philanthropic efforts and outstanding leadership have contributed greatly to the Chicago area and beyond."
