Jesse Jackson Jr. is following in his father’s footsteps. He’s corrupt both politically and morally.
Jesse Jackson Jr. is following in his father’s footsteps. He’s corrupt both politically and morally.
NBC Chicago has the disreputable details:
If If you want to know Jesse Jackson Jr.'s position on urban affairs, just ask Giovana Huidobro
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. asked a political fund-raiser to offer then Gov. Rod Blagojevich $6 million dollars in exchange for an appointment to President Obama’s former Senate seat — and had the fund-raiser pay for two airline trips for a blonde “social acquaintance” — the fund-raiser told federal authorities.
Businessman Raghuveer Nayak… says Jackson instructed him to offer Blagojevich as much as $6 million for the seat — $1 million from the Indian community and $5 million from a yet-to-be-held fund raiser that Jackson Jr. would organize.
So much for the political corruption. Let’s get to the juicy stuff:
Jesse Jackson Jr. doesn’t deny involvement with a Washington D.C. based restaurant hostess who was named this morning in a Sun-Times story about his alleged attempt to buy an appointment to President Obama’s former Senate seat.
Jackson Jr. allegedly had a relationship with Giovana Huidobro, a restaurant hostess and former model whose pictures can be seen here, and asked that fund-raiser Raghuveer Nayak pay for her to be flown from D.C. to Chicago on at least two occasions.
“The reference to a social acquaintance is a personal and private matter between me and my wife that was handled some time ago.” Jackson Jr. said in a statement. “I ask that you respect our privacy.”
No word on whether Jesse Jr. got his girlfriend pregnant, but he’s young. He has lots of time to match is father’s accomplishments.
There seems to be a certain sense of entitlement common to the Obama clan. For example, here’s the latest from President Obama’s 58-year-old auntie Zeituni Onyango.

“If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen.”
Translation: If I break into your house, you have the obligation to fix me dinner, let me drink your beer, and give me a nice warm bed, the keys to your car and a credit card.
President Obama has made $12 million in the last few years. He has a brother who lives in a shack in Nairobi and an aunt on welfare in Boston and expects you to pay for their upkeep.
The NAACP’s October 2 One Nation rally in Washington, DC proves one thing – that the term moderate liberal is an oxymoron.
The NAACP’s October 2 One Nation rally in Washington, DC proves one thing – that the term moderate liberal is an oxymoron.
BigPeace.com has the disturbing details about the rally’s sponsors:
Pompous, parasitic, blowhard Ed Schultz. That just about sums it up.
The rally’s sponsor list demonstrates how the Democrat party’s liberal establishment has mainstreamed treason and antisemitism.
Included among large, traditional labor organizations sponsoring the rally: AFL-CIO; National Education Association; the union of federal government workers’ American Federation of Government Employees; United Auto Workers; and United Mine Workers.
Joining them are anti-American, anti-Israel groups: Stalinist ANSWER Coalition; and the terrorist supporting Obama funders Code Pink and United for Peace and Justice, which since its inception and until recently was led by noted communist Leslie Cagan. Listed on the sidebar as sponsors are anti-American groups Veterans for Peace and Iraq Veterans Against the War.
All have supported terrorists in Iraq who were killing American troops and liberated Iraqis.
Also listed as partners of the One Nation rally are the Communist Party USA; the Democratic Socialists of America; the International Socialist Organization; and the War Resisters League.
This is, of course, the rally that MSNBC’s parasitic blowhard Ed Schultz attempted to latch onto to show the world that he was just as popular as Glenn Beck.
He called it “Ed’s March,” but a more appropriate name might be “The Anti-American, Freedom Hating, Anti-Semitic Event that Exposes Ed Schultz and the NAACP For What The Really Are March.”
Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus said to put Timothy Geithner in a new reality show. It’s called ‘Timothy Geithner Does Small Business’, something like ‘Debbie Does Dallas’.
Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus is a funny guy. Last week he facetiously apologized to President Obama for creating 300,000 jobs. This week he came up with a creative way of explaining that Democrats are out of touch with the real world.
“My solution is that you take a guy like Timothy Geithner and put him in a new reality show. It’s called ‘Timothy Geithner Does Small Business’, something like ‘Debbie Does Dallas’, and it ends up the same way,” Marcus explained. ”Basically, what they’re doing to small business is very similar in this case [to what ‘Debbie’ did to Dallas.]”
The only difference, Bernie, is that porn stars get paid when they get screwed.
Here’s the President’s latest Bidenism at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards Event in Washington, DC.
We don’t mind admitting that we long for the good ol’ days when Joe Biden was this administration’s official moron. Unfortunately, that role is being usurped by the President.
Here’s the President’s latest Bidenism at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards Event in Washington, DC.
“Long before America was even an idea,” President Obama said, “this land of plenty was home to many peoples. The British and French, the Dutch and Spanish, to Mexicans, to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land.”
One possibility is that President Obama didn’t know that Mexico declared its independence from Spain on September 16, 1810.
The other more disturbing possibility is that he didn’t know United States declared its independence from England in 1776.
Sunday: The Ground Zero Mosque Imam brags about his voting record. Monday: The New York Post checks his voting record. Not quite a New York minute, but close enough.
Sunday: The Ground Zero Mosque Imam brags about his voting record. Monday: The New York Post checks his voting record.
Not quite a New York minute, but close enough.
The Post has the damaging details:
"I didn't say I'd voted. I said I'd boated. Yeah, that's it. That's what I said."
The leader of the Ground Zero mosque, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, yesterday said he’s a loyal American, and cited his voting record to prove it.
The only problem is that, according to Board of Elections records, Rauf hasn’t voted since 2001. In fact, New Jersey records show that he’s no longer registered in his home state, The Post has learned.
“I vote in elections, I pay taxes, I pledge allegiance to the flag, and I am a Giants fan — I am glad they won yesterday,” Rauf quipped during a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations yesterday.
But New Jersey records show that Rauf, once a registered Democrat, voted last in November, 2001, when Jim McGreevey was elected governor.
Of course, he was a registered Democrat. We wouldn’t have guessed anything else.
Ben Franklin said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.” If he were alive today, he’d have to add “And Sally Quinn saying something remarkably stupid in every TV appearance.”

The Washington Post religion writer didn’t disappoint on Monday’s O’Reilly show when she explained that the reason Barack Obama and the First Family went to church last weekend is because America’s just filled to the brim with “prejudice and bigotry.”
Got that? Our Most Christian President Ever wouldn’t have had to go to church nor, we assume, even have wanted to go to church if you weren’t such a bigot.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is doing everything she can to fog up her party affiliation. In this campaign commercial, she mentions neither President Obama nor the word Democrat.
Take New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, for example. She couldn’t lose if her opponent released unretouched photos of Gillibrand in compromising positions with farm animals.
Nevertheless, she’s doing everything she can to fog up her party affiliation. In this campaign commercial, she mentions neither President Obama nor the word Democrat.
Despite the fact that she was elected to the House in 2006 and was appointed to the Senate in 2009, Gillibrand takes the position that she hasn’t been in Washington for long.
We beg to differ, Kirsten. You’ve already been there too long. Far too long.
Republican Ron Johnson is kicking incumbent Democrat Senator Russ Feingold’s ass in Minnesota’s Senate race (he’s up by 7 points in the latest Rasmussen poll). This commercial demonstrates why.
Republican Ron Johnson is kicking incumbent Democrat Senator Russ Feingold’s ass in Wisconsin’s Senate race (he’s up by 7 points in the latest Rasmussen poll). This commercial demonstrates why.
Unlike some recent campaign commercials, it has no hilarious dialogue, no special effects, no lumberjacks, no buckets of water being thrown on witches.
But we love the way it preempts the attack you know is coming from the Democrat.

The Daily Illini carried this editorial by a pointy-headed academic and we break our normal rules by carrying it in full in hopes that you can learn the error of your jingoistic ways:
The vast majority of 9/11 observances in this country cannot be seen as politically neutral events. Implicit in their nature are the notions that lives lost at the World Trade Center are more valuable than lives lost in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and elsewhere; that the motives of the 9/11 attackers had nothing to do with genuine grievances in the Islamic world regarding American imperialism; and that the U.S. has been justified in the subsequent killing of hundreds of thousands in so-called retaliation.

The observance at Saturday’s football game was no different. A moment of silence was followed by a military airplane flyover; in between, Block-I students chanted “USA, USA.” This was neither patriotism nor remembrance in any justifiable sense, but politicization, militarism, propaganda and bellicosity. The University is a public institution that encompasses the political views of all, not just the most (falsely) “patriotic.” Athletic planners should cease such exploitation for political purposes. They might at least consider how most Muslim students, American or otherwise, would respond to this nativist display; or better, Muslims and others that live their lives under the threat of our planes, drones and soldiers.
The overwhelmingly white, privileged, Block-I students should be ashamed of their obnoxious, fake-macho, chicken-hawk chant, while poverty-drafted members of their cohort fight and die in illegal and immoral wars for the control of oil. University administrators need to eliminate from all events such “patriotic” observances, which in this country cannot be separated from implicit justifications for state-sponsored killing.

After seeing her popularity take a nosedive this summer, First Lady Michelle Obama has returned to the center stage with a foolproof plan to win it all back.
After seeing her popularity take a nosedive this summer, First Lady Michelle Obama has returned to the center stage with a foolproof plan to win it all back.
That plan? Telling you what you can do with your life, your body and how to raise your children.
"Please don't tell Michelle you caught me eating food that tastes good. Please."
As reported by The Washington Post:
First Lady Michelle Obama is prodding the nation’s restaurants to add more healthy options to menus, label those items more prominently and market nutritious foods to kids.
Speaking to the National Restaurant Association on Monday, Mrs. Obama pleaded with restaurants small and large to take a little butter or cream out of their dishes, use low fat milk and provide apple slices or carrots as a default side dish on the kids’ menu.
Mrs. Obama said that Americans are spending half their food dollars outside the home and eating a third of meals in restaurants. She asked the restaurants to rethink the food they offer and reformulate their menus to help combat childhood obesity.
Mrs Obama just doesn’t get it. There’s a reason menus are the way they are. Restaurants either cater to the tastes of those paying the bills or they go out of business.
This is a concept her husband’s administration may want to consider. Soon.
But as far as Michelle is concerned, we think it may be time for her to take another vacation. $75,000 a day in taxpayer money is a bargain if it keeps her out of our lives.

The Tampa Tribune has the story:
Eric Lawrence Pidrman is part of MSNBC's key demographic: Drunken lunatics
A Spring Hill man who threatened U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite during the health care debate will spend more than two years in federal prison.
Eric Lawrence Pidrman, 66, claims he was in an alcoholic blackout when he telephoned Brown-Waite’s office about 6:30 a.m. on March 25 and left a message saying he had 27 people who would make sure she “doesn’t live to see her next term.”
“I’m terribly sorry that it ever happened,” Pidrman said this morning before he was sentenced. At the time of the morning he made the call, he said, “I very often watch the recycled news shows on MSNBC.”
That wasn’t a recycled news show, Eric. That was just Keith Olbermann naming Bill O’Reilly Worst Person In the World for the 873rd time. It just seemed recycled.
“He [Ted Kennedy] took a tremendous blow on the head,” says Hersh. In interviews following the crash, Kennedy displayed confusion and amnesia”
Burton Hersh, described by US News as Teddy Kennedy’s “lifelong biographer”, has moved from writing biographies to rewriting history.
Newsweek’s Washington Whispers has the details:
Now, a year after Kennedy died, his lifelong biographer Burton Hersh, armed with fresh interviews with Kennedy’s mistress at the time, tells Whispers that the whole July 1969 episode should have been handled as a simple crash, leaving the senator’s legacy untainted. “It was a car accident,” he says. “Ted was a terrible driver. He never paid much attention to where he was going.”
“He took a tremendous blow on the head,” says Hersh. In interviews following the crash, Kennedy displayed confusion and amnesia, he says.
A tremendous blow on the head? We think Hersh left a few words out of that last sentence. If should have read:
“In interviews for the next 40 years after the crash, Kennedy displayed confusion about the meaning of the Constitution and amnesia about his role in killing Mary Joe Kopechne.”
Yeah, we know. This isn’t the kind of video we usually post, but our hat is off to the genius editor who thought of combining these two completely dissimilar hit songs into one remarkable mash-up.

Nancy Pelosi is currently calling for a vote on “The Obama Tax Cut’s” But, aren’t the Obama Tax Cut’s actually an extension of the old “Evil George Bush Tax Cuts?”
Taking credit for the success of the Iraqi war and the apparent success of the current campaign in Afghanistan (which, of course, was modeled after a Bush strategy that both Obama and Biden opposed) was apparently not enough. No, The Greatest President Who Ever Was and Ever Will Be is now taking credit for those tax cuts that he used to call irresponsible.
Janet Napolitano is not a ugly lesbian Nazi. She's an appearance-challenged, alternate lifestyle, Democracy optional advocate
According to Fox News, Nancy Pelosi is currently calling for a vote on “The Obama Tax Cut’s.” Wait a minute. Aren’t the Obama Tax Cut’s actually an extension of the old “Evil George Bush Tax Cuts?” You know, just like the extension of the old Evil George Bush Patriot Act, which doesn’t impair anyone’s rights now that it is the “Glory to Obama Wondrous New Laws for Americans Who Do Not Cling To Their Guns Or Their Religion Super Duper Patriot Act.”
Fox News also reports that, “The White House wants the public to start using the term “global climate disruption” in place of “global warming” — fearing the latter term oversimplifies the problem and makes it sound less dangerous than it really is.”
You’ve got to hand it to Rachel Maddow. No one else can plunge into the crevices of a person’s past and deliver a tongue lashing like this two-fisted MSNBC host. This time she’s decided to finger Christine O’Donell for being, of all things, masturbation intolerant.

This time she’s decided to finger Christine O’Donell for being, of all things, masturbation intolerant.
Here’s the rub. Far be it from us to condemn people for getting in touch with themselves. A little introspection can be a good thing. And if by the end of all that waxing philosophic you come to the conclusion that you want to exercise a little more self control, well, that can be a good thing, too. But be warned, beating masturbation might not be as easy as you think.
Our suggestion for getting your hands around the problem and pounding it into submission? Try watching MSNBC on any weeknight between the hours of 9 and 10 pm Eastern. We guarantee that all sexual desire will vanish. It’s far more effective than a cold shower.
Thank you, Rachel, for helping us overcome the greedy urge for self-satisfaction. Thank you.

If CNN management wants to know why its audience is diminishing so rapidly, they need look no further than the fact that the last guy to wear an ascot on TV was Thurston B. Howell III.
There may have been a more embarrassing photo of a TV personality at some point in history, but we doubt it.
If CNN management wants to know why its audience is diminishing so rapidly, they need look no further than the fact that the last guy to wear an ascot on TV was Thurston B. Howell III.
Well, the last guy until effete CNN contributor Roland Martin, that is.
MediaBistro has the details:
CNN contributor Roland Martin is renowned for his sense of style. Specifically, his mastery of the ascot, the tie-alternative that has seemingly been lost to time.
Fear no more, ascot fans. Martin is now selling his own line of ascots … and he is selling them with swagger.
Let’s let Verse 9, which designed the line, explain:
Whether telling it like it is on CNN, hosting “Washington Watch” on TV One, speaking in front of thousands at a conference or taking part in the nightlife of a mega metropolis near you, Roland S. Martin exemplifies the definition of swagger.
This is a tobacco smoke enema, a medical device used back in the 18th and early 19th centuries to infuse tobacco smoke into a patient’s rectum for various medical purposes, primarily to resuscitate drowning victims.
This is a tobacco smoke enema, a medical device used back in the 18th and early 19th centuries to infuse tobacco smoke into a patient’s rectum for various medical purposes, primarily to resuscitate drowning victims.
A rectal tube inserted into the anus was connected to a fumigator and bellows that forced the smoke towards the rectum. The warmth of the smoke was thought to promote respiration, but doubts about the credibility of tobacco smoke enemas lead to the popular phrase “blowing smoke up your ass.”
This old tool has now been reintroduced in Washington, DC as a major component of the new ObamaCare program.
Chris Matthews obviously needs help. He goes from rabid raging one night to being completely lucid the next night.
Chris Matthews obviously needs help. He goes from rabid raging one night to being completely lucid the next night.
Last week the MSNBC host demonstrated one of his more lucid moments when he delivered this rational and impassioned message during his “Let Me Finish” segment:
The sign on the top was photographed at Chapell Hill Bank in Texas. The sign on the bottom was found at the Department of Motor Vehicles in Oregon.
The sign on the top was found at the Department of Motor Vehicles in Oregon. The sign on the bottom was photographed at Chapell Hill Bank in Texas.
This made us wonder if there were significantly more firearm deaths per capita in Texas than in Oregon. A little Google research gave us the surprising answer.
According to StateHealthFacts.org, Oregon ranks #28 with 10.5 firearm deaths per 100,000. Texas ranks #26 with 11.0 per 100,000. Virtually identical.
We suspect that the difference may be explained by the 0.5 firearm deaths per 100,000 that occur at the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
But you can’t really blame a guy for shooting one of those people, can you?
Malcolm X might just be a member of the Tea Party today. Based on this video clip, he was obviously pro-guns, opposed militant Islam and was against teenage sex.
