Blagojevich is politically dead. So is Stuart Levine. Tony Rezko. Jackson. Vrdolyak. Today I settled all family business so don’t tell me that you’re innocent. Admit what you did.
Go ahead. Drink. Drink. No, you’re out of the family business, that’s your punishment. You’re finished. I’m putting you on a plane to Vegas. Rahm?
Only don’t tell me that you’re innocent. Because it insults my intelligence and it makes me very angry. Now, who approached you first? Cullerton or Madigan?
I kept asking the magic 8 ball, ‘will lisa run?’, and the answers were always ambiguous. My arms are sore from shaking that thing. So I just said ‘what the heck’ and tossed my hat in the ring.

“The chances of dropping out? Me? Look right here. “
Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former Commerce Secretary, now, about to become the Illinois Governor. It looks like a mirac… It’s in the hole! It’s in the hole! It’s in the hole!
“I got paid off for taking a dive in Florida in 2000 and now I’m really going to get rich. Throwing Democrats under the bus is a business model. Why should Rahm get all the money?”
Of course I can keep a straight face when I tell them I will balance the budget and erase the debt in the first term… actually I project a surplus…
