Tamara Holder and Pat Hickey Think Congressman Jackson is Having a Job Done on Him. It Don't Seem Right.

Congressman Jesse Jackson appears to be the only genuine victim of the Blagojevich Corruption Roller-coaster. Congressman Jesse L. Jackson who was named in the Criminal Complaint and subsequent indictment of Blago by the Federal Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has now been piled on out of the blue with an additional set charges.

One accusation at a time Fitzy; One person at a time, one allegation at a time, Fitzy." My attorney pal. Tamara Holder said to me "It looks like they veered off the yellow brick road. Just an opinion, but this was about BLAGO. How did the arrows all of a sudden turn to JR?!?!"


Well, Tamara, from my front porch way down here in the 19th Ward, there appears to be some wiggle enough room for Paddy Fitz to drive a semi-trailer towing a Wide Load slab house. Seems like everyone Blago touched is now subject to a probe by the G.

This marriage of true minds brought together two polar opposites - me and Tamara Holder.

Two of God’s Creatures – Ms. Tamara Holder an athletic 'twenty something and change' beauty and attorney, activist, and legal affairs spokesperson for Fox News and CNN and me, a runty, old south side school teacher, who sits on the porch with a quart of Green River ( at minimum) jawing about politics and ‘those damned kids’ with my 19th Ward helot neighbors – polar opposites have come to the same conclusion that Congressman Jackson seems being fitted to wear a jacket that he just might not deserve.

Together we hope to raise some questions for our neighbors - Tamara's around Lincoln Park and my own around 108th & Rockwell -consider -

1. Why is Congressman Jackson being targeted with such vigor, while Blago goes on the Media Circuit, hawks an unreadable book and plays to his upcoming jury pool? And while Obama, Axelrod and Emanuel get to be tight-lipped too. "The Presidential Protection!"


2. Why are Feds Changing the Game? Are they dropping the Senate Shenanigans for Congressional mailings? Who benefits by Fitzy nailing Congressman Jackson's pelt to the shed?

3. Who's driving this railroad? Which Justice Department?

How's that?

4. As Ms. Holder mentioned to me -"How about we ask about how much money this is costing? Remember the Jesse Jackson investigation has been 5 months long with the Ethics Committee! TWO investigations, Fitzy's and Congresses. I wonder how much money Jackson used to allegedly have a staffer send a mass email to constituents regarding his desire for the Senate seat? All the while, the other leaders are flitting around in private jets and 1st class, reading his financials instead of the health care bill."

Fair questions in deed.

Full disclosure - I met Congressman Jackson on two occasions - back in 1993, Jesse Jackson, Junior was on the School Board for LeMans Academy in Rolling Prairie, Indiana along with Bulls Boss John Paxson. He impressed me as a well-read and very nice guy. Twelve or so years later, I met Congressman Jackson and his two adorable kids at Rainbow Cone, Ice Cream on Western Ave. and he did not seem bothered in the least that I had referred to him as Kid Staples - following his dramatic weight loss. I think his Old Man is a Race cottage industry stick-up artist, but, then again, my Dad is a gifted tradesman.

Rod and Kanye Blagojevich-West

"Chris is my friend," ... "I am saddened to hear these allegations about his personal life" -Rod Blagojevich



"Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time" -Kanye West

CHICAGO (AP) - The investigation into the death of the former chief fundraiser for ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich intensified on Sunday as medical examiners completed an autopsy and detectives looked into whether drugs found in the trusted aide's vehicle might have factored into his death. Dwight Welch, the mayor of suburban Country Club Hills where Christopher Kelly was found slumped over his vehicle's steering wheel in a lumber yard, said a number of drugs were found in the former fundraiser's black Cadillac Escalade but declined to say which drugs. He did say the investigation was being treated as a possible suicide.







NEW YORK (AP) - Kanye West apologized for an outburst at the MTV Video Music Awards that was directed at country-pop sweetheart Taylor Swift. West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech at Sunday's VMAs and said that Beyonce deserved to win.

Illinois's Indicted All Stars - Universally Great Hair!

The Chicago Tribune captured the true nature of the Federal Prosecutors' Targeted Indictees!

They each and every one of them has absolutley magnificent hair!

Illinois Violates No Smoking Ban - 'Oh Fitz! Ohhh Fitzy, Was It Good For You?'

Having been had for One Full and Change (1.8) Blagojevich Gubernatorial Terms*, a sore State of Illinois turned over to the powerful, yet strangely comforting limbs of Federal Law in Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.

The 75 Page Indictment of Rod Blagojevich announced near meal time at Federal Metropolitan Correction Center was a thrust of powerful Government for a people needy and yieldy.

Illinois is languishing in a State of Ecstacy!~ Blowing Smoke Rings in the Air! Penny for your Thoughts,Fitzy?

This Federal indictment mounts the top of a steady stream of predictions made by this blogger that ranks right up there with Good Old Captain Edward J.Smith who announced to all and sundry on the bridge of HSS Titanic -'Let's see what this Baby Can Do! Open 'er Up!' -Go,Hickey !- McCain's The Guy! - Ryan Wont Do Time!s - Get a Balloon Adjustable Mortgage for Each of the Kids!

Yep!

Thanks Fitzy! I'll pass.


*

Blagojevich is heard on tape asking an aide if the $8 million could be withheld if the executive failed to pay.

Blagojevich called the impeachment case against him a witch hunt and refused to answer question from lawmakers or testify about details of the criminal investigation.

Instead, as the state Senate heard the evidence against him, the governor made the rounds of New York talk shows, proclaiming his innocence.

Ousted from office and replaced by Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn (D), Blagojevich signed a book deal. As recently as last week, he hosted a Chicago radio show to say that he was "hijacked" from office by his political foes.

Like Plump Girls Spurned by Colin Farrell and Waiting at Applebee's Chicago Media Will Wait and Wait for Fitzy to Indict Blago!

I think that maybe News Media Chicago will be waiting outside the offices of Patrick Fitzgerald like a homely fat girl waiting at Applebee's for the arrival of Colin Farrell ( 'He called and said he wanted to meet a nice normal girl and he had a Dublin Accent! He Said Brilliant and Shite alot!') Yep, Fitzy might just be a 'Flat-Out Villain.' A Cad! A Bounder!

Following the spurning, some in the News Media might get desperate and find solace in Salty Snack Piles and gallon flagons of Pop. Be positive! Eat Healthy.

ABC 7 had ordered a booth and a Nacho Platter with extra cheese and a 40 oz. Diet Coke.

By Ravi BaichwalApril 1, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- An indictment charging former Governor Rod Blagojevich with corruption is expected as early as Thursday.
The indictment would replace a complaint charging Blagojevich with crimes including an effort to sell President Obama's former U.S. Senate seat.
The buzz around the federal courts is that with a deadline looming, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald will hand up an indictment against the former governor.. . . If there's an indictment Blagojevich and his co-accused from December 9, former chief of staff John Harris, would be notified electronically. They wouldn't have to go to court until an arraignment date is set on any new charges.
Any new defendants will be given the . . . he's not? . . .but I thought . . .(sniff). . .

Ohhhhhh Ravi, (sniff) he's cruel.

Blago! Here's the TV Line-up (sorry, that was cruel) for Tonight April 2, 2008 -Unless Fitzy Changed Your Plans.

'I'm Rod Blagojevich - and I'm here to sit on your porch with my legs covering a few more steps than a normal guy and have your Towhead wondering if I am just another of his Mom's 'Uncles' or really the Governor of the People! Hey this MILF is way better than the Tons o' Blubber squeezing me out of that coach on the View~'


I think former Governor and WLS Talk Apprentice Rod Blagojevich just may be home tonight to enjoy the fine Television Programing from WOW Cable - Assuming that Rod and Patty enjoy and pay for WOW Cable.

I think that maybe News Media Chicago will be waiting outside the offices of Ptraick Fitzegerald like a homely fat girl waiting at Appleby's for the arrival of Colin Farrell ( 'He called and said he wanted to meet a nice normal girl and he had a Dublin Accent! He Said Brilliant and Shite alot!') Yep, Fitzy's might be a 'Flat-Out Villain.'

This indictment runs out on April 7th -

Here's tonight's view, Rod!

Blago may run-out the clock

Yes indeed, I believe that Patrick Fitzgerald - might - might mind you - have been tapped on the Federal shoulder, whispered into the prosecutorial, by an Iago attached to the newly elected White House Resident.

Soto Voce - ‘Fitzy, here’s a Bigg-un! Blago is selling the Senate Seat! Get him into the Green Room! Exit Stage Left! You can indict Him Later! The Guy can not Shut-up! He’s as Dumb as a City Hall manager - you know them ‘Hey Loooook, it’ll be okay the Guy won’t forget you! Trust Him!” See? Put a Bag over Blago Fitzy! Hope and Change!’

Here’s what the G told us in December when Blagomania got launched:

“First of all, there’s not an indictment, realize. It’s a complaint. So I don’t want people to understand it’s an indictment. We filed a criminal complaint.”
Pat Fitzgerald Dec 9, 2008

“The criminal complaint is a charging document that is supported by the affidavit of a law enforcement agent that is intended to set forth and establish probable cause and that probable cause can be tested in a preliminary hearing,” Randall Samborn 2008

“Governor Blagojevich has been arrested in the middle of what we can only describe as a political corruption crime spree. We acted to stop that crime spree,” Pat Fitzgerald 2008
