Obama friends pile up ethics violations “with lightning speed”
When the new Obama administration said it would act with lightning speed in its first hundred days, no one knew they were talking the speed with which their friends would pile up ethics violations.
First, Illinois governor Rod Blogojevich was busted for attempting to sell Obama’s senate seat the highest bidder.
Then, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson had to withdraw from consideration as Commerce Secretary due to similar “pay to play” accusations.
Then, Hilary Clinton was named Secretary of State despite the obvious conflicts presented by her husband’s acceptance of millions of dollars from foreign governments.
Then, Timothy Geithner was confirmed as Secretary of the Treasury despite cheating on his taxes.
And yesterday Tom Daschle, Obama’s nominee for head of Health & Human Services, had to pay $140,000 in back taxes and interest for limousine and chauffeur services given to him by a wealthy donor.
Doesn’t this Obama guy have any honest friends?
Blago in Chicago foggo
IQ-impaired Illinois governor Rod Blogojevich continues to amuse.
“The fix is in,” he insisted, claming that the Illinois legislature’s sole motivation for impeaching him is to enact a large tax increase that he is against.
When reminded that Chicago Mayor Daly called him “cuckoo,” Blago replied, “Here’s a question I have to you, to Mayor Daly and everyone else: whatever happened to the presumption of innocence?”
We’re not constitutional scholars, but we think the 34th Amendment says the presumption of innocence doesn’t apply to Democrat politicians in Illinois.
Maybe we’re wrong. Maybe it’s the 29th Amendment.
