    Governor,

    I hope that you don’t mind if I check to see if you’re wearing a wire.


  5. - Bill - Friday, Apr 25, 08 @ 9:57 am:

    With apologies to Mr. Pay-Me-To-Read-Me….

    “Hey, check out this new polo shirt. Do you like it? I got it in Wrigleyville. Did you see the Cubs last night? Weren’t they great? It reminded me of a book I read once on the Romans. I think I told you about that book before. Hey, speaking of Rome, I ran into DeLeo this morning. I love that guy. Isn’t he a hoot? He gave me a ride in his new car. What kind of car do you drive now? I don’t drive because I’m the governor. Do you like to drive? I remember years ago, when I first learned how to drive. Have you ever driven in LA? It’s crazy, man, I tell ya. I was just in Arizona. Saw the Cubs. Did I ask you about the Cubs game last night? Aren’t they great?”

    “No.”

    Say….Rod, thank them for holding your signs up and a free CTA ticket will be issued for their efforts….but only, as you dictated, if they are elderly. I suggest a quick exit would be the key to eliminate any further embarrassment.

    ‘While he was still speaking, Blago arrived. With him was a large crowd.

    ‘(Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him!”) Immediately he went up to Obama and said, “Greetings, Teacher,” and kissed him.

    ‘Obama said to him, “Friend, do what you are here to do.” Then they came and took hold of Obama and arrested him.’

    Again, I’m afraid I took the wrong lessons from Sunday School…

    Rod: “It seems that your campaign has been losing momentum here lately ever since the Reverend Wright, Tony Rezko, & Louis Farahkan relationships came to light. I think that I can help you out.”

    Barack:”Forgive me for not looking directly at you Rod. I am afraid that somebody might think that we are friends if they see me talking to you. How can you help me?”

    Rod: “Normally, I would ask for a nominal campaign donation of around $25,000 but for you, it will be on the house. I will agree to allow you to tell the media and voters that if elected, you will be choosing me as your running mate! That should throw you over the top and Hillary will be toast.”

    Now, come on Rich, THAT IS FUNNY.


  104. - GofGelnview - Saturday, Apr 26, 08 @ 3:44 pm:
