    ====If you read Illinoize purely for the GOPUSA updates…==== Rich, you need to do something about that. Definately ruins the experience of heading over there. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. It gets to the point you forget what site your on. Have him put a link to another page.
    Its making me rethink being a hardcore partisan blogger.

    If you’re a republican and openly admire Steve Brown’s criticism of his own Governor…

    If you hang out at parades hoping to catch a glimpse of John Fritchey…

    If you still think Jerry Weller is a great congressman…

    If you own a green “Friends of Lee Daniels” t-shirt…

    If you upload videos from YouTube of Pate Philip at a 1986 roast of Sen. Dudycz…

    If you remember Senator Dudycz…

    If you still have the “Dump Lou; It’s time” bumper sticker on your car…

    If you still watch re-runs of Jim Edgar’s famous “42% tax increase” campaign videos against Dawn Clark Netsch…

    If you still cringe when you hear the name Al Salvi…

    If you still think Bob Kustra would have beat Dick Durbin for U.S. Senate…

    and… If you left a news anchor job to work for Rod Blagojevich because he offered a new vision for Illinois…


  86. - chic ster - Wednesday, Oct 22, 08 @ 2:53 pm:

    If you watch John Holmes flicks several times a day, you would be a hardcore partisan.


  96. - Little Egypt - Wednesday, Oct 22, 08 @ 6:13 pm:

    Bill, Blago will have a tough choice to make - appoint you to fill Obama’s 2 years or Fitz. And we know you would take it. And heck, even if you did a fairly lousy job, I’d campaign for you in 2010. Besides, you don’t have to move to D.C. Just rent a room in Durbin’s townhouse. There’s already 4 there and a 5th would help even more with the rent.


  97. - Disgusted - Wednesday, Oct 22, 08 @ 6:17 pm:

    Hey Wordslinger, the only person who probably has an “Impeach Andrew Johnson” bumper sticker on his car is John McCain (who probably printed them up during the Impeachment trial)


  101. - Black Ivy - Thursday, Oct 23, 08 @ 12:17 am:

    Didn’t know where to post this, Rich, but can you lay off of the following folks: 1.) John McCain; 2.) Governor Blagojevich; 3.) Chicago generally. Or at least be fair, man!


  102. - Deleted Daily - Thursday, Oct 23, 08 @ 10:52 am:
