In a conversation recorded by the FBI in 2008, recently played for his jury, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich had this to say following some rather dismal poll digits:

Only 13 percent of you all out there think I’m doing a good job. So [expletive] all of you.

That’s right!  Blago told me and all of my fellow Illinoisans to go f#ck ourselves.  I still can’t believe I voted for that douchebag – (sigh) – twice.

That said, the walking, talking embarrassment that is Blago was still preferable to the alternative.

Post Updated Below – Obama Relieves McChrystal of his Post

In his June 23 “Special Comment” regarding Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s comments to Rolling Stone – over which, McChrystal reportedly intends to tender his resignation — the host of MSNBC‘s Countdown posited that President Obama should reject it:

…Sir, you should take General McChrystal’s resignation, and fold it up, and put it in your top drawer, and tell him that that is where it will remain, and that as of now you are not accepting it. Correct.

He tenders his resignation. You tell him to get back to Afghanistan because he’s not getting out of this morass he helped create, and tell him to make sure we get the surge troops withdrawn on time or faster if he can. And then, Sir, you sit back and watch the political world’s collective jaw drop.

Olbermann then lays down some history of presidents past and how they reacted when Generals Behave(d) Badly.

Uncertain if Obama should/will heed the advice, but Olbermann makes a persuasive argument.  Watch:

Stephen sends up the Fox “News” Channel pundits for their idiotic equating of recent heavy snowfall with “proof” that climate change isn’t happening.

FNC really must hold their viewers in the lowest intellectual regard.

Sadly, it takes a satirist to illustrate how pundits have framed Obama as both, a tyrant bent on the destruction of America, and an inept president who was unable to accomplish anything during his first year in office.

Of course, neither assessment is correct.

I came across this post on digg.com, where the most appropriate comment was made by schnikies79, who wrote, “If you compare any American politician, right or left, to Nazis. You’re a dumbass.”

From Leonard Pitts Jr. of McClatchy, 21 August 2009 post, via Freep.com:

I hope this column makes you sick.

See, we’ll be talking about Nazis, something many of us are doing lately. Indeed, just this week a fellow named Joseph e-mailed me about a caller he heard on a radio show. The man, vexed over health-care reform, likened President Obama to Adolf Hitler. Asked why, he said, “Hitler took over the car companies, then health care and then he killed the Jews.”

Said Joseph: “I almost swerved my vehicle off the road when I heard that.”

But the caller is hardly unique. Google “Obama + Nazis” and you get almost 7 million hits. Nor is the phenomenon new. Substitute President Bush’s name and you get nearly 2.8 million.
