Rod: “What do you mean funny? What, funny like a clown? I amuse you, I’m here to amuse you? How am I funny? What’s so bleepin funny about me?”
Comment by wordslinger Tuesday, Jan 6, 09 @ 11:03 am
Wouldn’t it be funny if I was sworn in as President a week and a half after you get impeached…? Good times.

“The Aristocrats!”
Comment by Edward Morgan Blake Tuesday, Jan 6, 09 @ 11:08 am
I’m telling, you, Obama, you’ll never get anywhere in politics with cropped-short hair like that. Look at me! Hair makes the man! It’s a Follicularly valuable thing! Let it grow!

“Rod, so I said to Emil “All I have to do is give your family members jobs and pay raises and you’ll back me no matter what?”

Barack Obama (D-President-elect) and Rod Blagojevich (D-Impeachment) compare their testicular virility.

B.O.: So I put the box on his desk and he opens it, only to find a knitted sweater from my mother in law instead of $5,000
R.B.: (under his breath) I bet you would do something like that. Better yet, you’ll probably leave me hanging out to dry in a few months.

Comment by Nero Tuesday, Jan 6, 09 @ 11:39 am
BO -And then in the dream…get this…you top it all by trying to sell my old senate seat. Saying you wanted a cabinet post or something like that. Then there was the arrest and the impeachment process. It ended with Burris of all people flying to D.C. and demanding to be seated as a Senator. Burris! Hilarious…”

Obama:
“So…you’ll still be Governor, and I’ll be elected President…. Over here in Illinois, the feds are going to finally get you, and over here, I’ll be in DC waiting to be inaugurated having to deal with your mess when I’m supposed to be having the time of my life. It’s going to be a mess, man!”

BHO “That is too funny. Tell it to me again … so … Fitzgerald contacts you to talk … and you blow him off. Fitzgerald then picks you up on a complaint, and you face a federal judge in a jogging suit…then, they have tapes where you swear like a ‘drunken sailor, and THEN you appoint someone anyway… stop, my side hurts!”

Obama– You see Gov, the feds can take a recorder about this size, and attach it to your phones and record conversations you are having on incoming and outgoing calls.
Rod–Really! Wow…Gosh Barack sure wish I would have known that. I sure would have watched what I said on the phone. Hey you think maybe you could give me one of those pardons?
