Dean: Time For Blagojeviceh To Bla-Go
Howard Dean, in a statement, says it's time for Blago to go:
"The arrest of and complaint against Gov. Blagojevich raises serious concerns about his ability to effectively represent the people of Illinois. The conduct alleged represents a disgraceful abuse of the public trust. In the interest of the people of Illinois and all Americans, he should resign immediately. If he does not, I hope the Illinois legislature will take action."
With the Repubs attacking Obama daily over the Blago mess, it's obviously in the Dems' interest for Blago to be gone already. So Dean is lending a hand, though it's not clear why it took him until today to do so.

Yeah! Jiminy cricket! It's been 48 hours since the Blagomess was revealed. Why the heck has it taken Dean sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooooong to respond???
Is he on that secret Obama-Blago-Michelle tape?

How about a list of everyone who hasn't yet come out for Blago to resign.
What are they waiting for?

Don't worry Oskie, that seems to be Greg's and Eric's M.O. on TPM. Playing in to the RNC's "[insert Dem name here] isn't denying involvement in [insert incident here] soon or strenuously enough" gambit.

Definitely, why DID it take him so long? And to make matters worse, Obama has had dealing with Dean, so this doesn't bode well for Obama. The taint is everywhere! This isn't the change we need...
And where the f*** is Michelle Obama? Blago's wife was involved, we need Obama's wife to reject, denounce, and give Mitch McConnell a full disclosure of her involvement in this mess. Sasha and Malia too. And when they pick a dog, I want that bastard on trial.
(I'm making fun of Repugs here, not you Greg :P)

The dog? Mitch? Blags? Greg?
Or some combination of all of the above?
I think Patrick Fitzgerald needs to investigate this whole dog story. Why kind of family delays getting a puppy until they've moved into a new house? What's with that, anyway? Don't the Obamas know that we're a nation addicted to instant gratification? ARE THEY LOOKING DOWN ON US??? Who the heck do they think they are, anyway? I find this whole dog episode to be troubling, and I'm calling on Obama to reveal the names and breeds of every dog he's come into contact in the last 39 years. This nation needs to know. NOW.

OMG!! Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter haven't come out against Blago yet. What's taking them so long. And what about Oprah? I mean, she's an Illinois resident and a prominent Obama supporter. Why hasn't she renounced Blago? It's been two days.
Unless every prominent Democrat everywhere renounces Blago on the record, then the Republicans will hammer us with it! The Republicans will say that this means Obama is not transparent.
Nevermind that the RNC or Bush didn't call for Stevens to step down when he was indicted. But Democrats have to prove to Republicans that Obama can be trusted.

I can't believe I forgot this, but Obama owes it to the country to have ME disclose my involvement in the Blago scandal to the media, as I donated 4 figures to Obama over the last two years. If I, and all Obama supporters don't come forward and tell the country everything we had to do with this scandal, the Republicans and the media will have to assume that Obama is the kingpin.

I think it's apparent that the failure of Bill Clinton to ask Blago to resign is the Clintons' first attempt to undermine Obama on their way to establishing their own shadow administration at the State Department.

Well he conveniently provided us with one hell of a name to work with, and I swear to god, he was supposed to be a Repug - look at his hair. That is straight Repug hair.

Ha! get off the hair...that's the picture Biden took in to Sy Sperling when he got patched up.

Of course - Biden! It's always a Democrat's fault.
That's a given.
What I want to know is: why hasn't Bill Ayers renounced Blago? Something is fishy...

All I can say is that that puppy's first act in office better be to bite Blago!

Sorry, no puppy visitation allowed in the federal penitentiary.

So Dean is lending a hand, though it's not clear why it took him until today to do so.
Dude, time to set down the crack pipe. It's CLEARLY labeled on my keyboard as "F5".
The unfortunate truth remains that while the intertubes compresses time worse than cocaine, the vast majority of 'net users cannot possibly keep up, even if they were all MENSA members (and I have it on fairly decent authority that a few of them are not).
Having said THAT, I would further reflect that i-time is a perfect balance to the calcified pace of Govt-By-Old-Fartage. A voice vote in both chambers could end Balgo's career in less than one hour.
Ditto, the current criminal enterprise posing as a presidency.
SO I DIDN'T SAY STOP!
