Objection. Move to strike.

Good morning FoE!

The alt-text is funnier than the cartoon.

Henny|8.27.10 @ 7:11AM|

I guess I shouldn't ask him to take my wife.

affenkopf|8.27.10 @ 8:09AM|

Free Blago.

Jen|8.27.10 @ 8:15AM|

Does Bok have a clue that Blogo never bought anything. He was a seller.

Mango Punch|8.27.10 @ 8:55AM|

+1
I noticed this too and thought the cartoon was almost clever (if it weren't backward).

Attorney|8.27.10 @ 9:15AM|

I'm glad it's not just me.

|8.27.10 @ 8:50AM|

Not Guilty by reason of "business as usual."

Boys will be boys.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I know that hair and the black jacket. Nicky the G testified at the Blago trial?

Almanian|8.27.10 @ 10:14AM|

Awful

The Art-P.O.G.|8.27.10 @ 11:47AM|

LOL @this one-word review.

It seems to me Fitzgerald F'ed up by moving in before an actual crime was committed and that's why Blago walked. Shame!

I also think Fitzy saved the Obama administration from buying a senate seat like a loyal political hack would.

No one should do time just for being a d-bag. At the same time d-bags should not serve as Governor. Justice has already been served, free Blago.

Once again Fitzgerald has screwed the pooch. He did in the Scooter Libby trial in only getting a conviction on lying to investigators, and now he gets the same thing on Blago. He probably relied on Blago testifying in his own behalf; holding back using further evidence in an effort to "trip up" Blago on the stand.
Either way, Fitzerald leaves a lot to be desired as a Fed. prosecutor. A hell of an investigator, but a neophyte when it comes to the courtroom.

Why is the judges head melting?

|8.27.10 @ 11:25AM|

Somebody drew balls on his chin as well.

JoshINHB|8.27.10 @ 10:34AM|

Why is that chimpanzee wearing a suit and toupe?

|8.27.10 @ 11:47AM|

Judge: Will you be taking the stand?
Blago: I can't. I sold it to ____ for _____ on my head.

Fiscal Meth|8.27.10 @ 3:55PM|

....greasy badger....residing...?

Blago|8.28.10 @ 11:32AM|

Aye, judge! What do call chin-nuts? A fuckin' dick in your mouth! Ohhhhhh! Fohget about it.

Aye, judge! Is that a penis pump under your robe or is ya's asshole just weezy? Boom!! Oh, yeah! *grabs crotch while gyrating pelvis*

Whose brother-in-law is Chip Bok and why is Reason still running these miserable attempts?

hit nike|9.2.10 @ 2:56AM|

Rivlin’s goal was for the CBO to be respected by the budgeting community. Analysts kept their judgments conservative by relying on pre-existing economic models. Even when pressed by legislators, Rivlin says, she “religiously” avoided policy endorsements. The result was an agency that quickly attained a high degree of respect and authority on Capitol Hill.
