Focus People

Ignore the little man behind the curtain.  Or posturing to sell a Senate seat.

If a group of people invaded your home, harmed your family, killed the pets and set everything ablaze, would you care if you were overcharged a quarter for take-out at lunch?

Seriously, everyone needs to get a grip.

I have not taken the time to learn to pronounce Rod Blagojevich's name.  If pressed to discuss him, I stumble and stutter for awhile and then just say the Governor of Illinois.  Or conversely, the man who will not spend a day in jail.  Adding to Prosecutor Fitzgerald's record.

Let's see.... who did Fitzgerald indict for the Valerie Plame treason?  Just Scooter Libby, for lying to federal officials.  Good job.

Anyway, I am not concerned about corrupt, local folks.  Unless bodies are being dumped in the river, who cares?  

Which segues nicely to Keith Olbermann and his usually entertaining Worst Persons in the World.  He picks three each broadcast on the basis of varying "crimes."  Last night the number one slot went to Sarah Palin, for apparently securing employment for her possible, future son-in-law.

Future, because he is her daughter's baby daddy and not husband.  And possibly, well, let's just wait.

Apparently, according to Palin, teaching about sex is bad, but teenagers having it, OK.  And then dropping out of school.  Selling the pictures.  

Levi, the baby daddy in question, needed a high school diploma to work in the oil fields, and yet still was hired.

Gee- his baby mama's parents are a. Governor and b. working on said oil field.  Mrs. and Mr. Palin respectively.

So someone used juice to get the kid a job.  Really?  I bet that is the first time influence was banked to secure employment.

This is not even the public sector.  Who cares?  If you want to put Sarah Palin in the worst person's column every night for a year, there is plenty of fodder.  But not for that.

Also, it is not her fault that daughter's baby daddy's mama was arrested for drug possession.  She is probably involved with squelching the arrest until after the election.  However.

Back to Rod Blagojevich and semi Senator Burris. 

Just seat the guy. We are talking about the United States Senate, not a productive organization.  As long as a rotten cantaloupe could secure federal dollars for my state, I would vote for a piece of over ripe fruit.

Diane Feinstein, you have exactly 4 more minutes to get over your little snit about not being in the loop about the choice for the CIA.

You are a torture loving criminal.  Grow up and move on.  And reread the Geneva Convention.

Frankly, I could not care less if Rod Blagojevich appointed himself to the Senate.

If Dick Cheney could be part of this body, then who is possibly worse?

And he, with Bush, was not even elected.  Twice.

Indict them already.
