Caption contest: Blagobama!

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 9, 2008 01:32 PM

Take your shot. It’s hard to top Blago’s own words from the criminal complaint, but have fun trying!

“F*** him. For nothing? F*** him.”

***

And the wires go out of their way to underscore that Barack Obama didn’t know what Blago was up to:

    Blago + Rezko + Obama

    Politics in Chicago. Corrupt. More corrupt. Most corrupt.

    Yeah, and Obama is on TV now with Algore talking about global warming and how it’s a security issue.

    OK, and we’re expecting an arctic blast from Alaska in CA (all the way down to S. CA) at the end of this week that will last for several days and bring record low temps.

    Like I said on the other thread, had Blagojevich been a Republican with no ties to President Bush whatsoever, the MSM would still be screaming “What did President Bush know and when did he know it?!”

    The MSM in this country is a joke – and worse yet, predictable as clock-work.

    Hey Michele, on my ABCnews page, they have in a little box in the upper right.

    Watch Video

    WATCH: Trooper Testifies in Palin Probe
    WATCH: In the Line of Fire
    WATCH: Edwards Admits to Extramarital Affair

    Do you think ABC is doing is compare and contrast?

    By the way, Obama is showing his 12 degree head tilt here; this is where he is most comfortable lying. When he gets to 20 degrees he’s in full partisan mode and everything he says is baloney. At 12 degrees, he shouldn’t be trusted.

    Reminds me of a line from “Amos and Andy” when planning one of their many schemes “Let’s Simonize our watches!”

    Oops, we can’t have any malapropisms by anybody but stupid white folks (i.e., Archie Bunker)

    When asked today about the the indictment of Rod Blagojevich, Obama made the following statement:

    “I was not aware of what was happening.”

    This has become a recurrent theme with Obama. I have lost count of the number of times he has said it. But the amazing thing is that the Media still believe him every time he says it. Here are a few examples:

    On Rev. Wright: “I wasn’t aware of the AIDS conspiracy statement, which I think is completely out of line and off the wall,” Obama said. “I wasn’t aware of his statements, God damn America. Those statements were not ones that I knew about until the story broke a week and a half ago.”

    On Rezko: “I was aware of what was in the newspapers, but I certainly was not aware of the serious charges that have subsequently been brought.”

    Obama was “not aware” of Bill Ayers’ radical past. He was also “not aware” of his aunt’s immigration status.

    It seems that if you hold your chin up high enough, you can claim to be unaware of what is happening right under your nose.

    Papa Louie (#117), you are so right. I believe they call it “plausible deniability.”

    It’s always interesting that democrat presidents are “so smart, intelligent” but when asked about their buddies getting indicted, “I was not aware…”

    I guess that means they’re smart enough to play dumb, or so dumb they pretend to be smart.

    Let the investigation go forward, unhindered, and see where it leads. If The One is cleared, so be it. If not, throw the book at him.

    Let’s see, Bill “Kiss it” Clinton, William “Cold hard cash” Jefferson, Rod “show me the money” Blagojavich, “Fund raisin’” Nagin, Dianne “funnel to the hubby” Feinstein, Kwame “above the law” Kilpatrick, Marion “Bit** set me up!” Barry, Robert “Grand Cyclops of the KKK” Byrd (oh wait, that last one’s a former job title, not a nickname).

    I’m sorry, but I have a very difficult time in believing that Obama…once again…just like with Rev. Wright, Ayers, Rev. Pflager, and every other stinking criminal, racist, anti-American scumbag that Obama knows and/or was associated with…that Obama knew nothing about this creep, his statements, his plans or anything else.

    How many times is Obama going to attempt to use Plausible Deniability towards everyone?

    Why is it that everyone he knows has such questionable and criminal actions and morals, yet he is apparently as pure as the driven snow?

    How stupid are the people in this country? How many more people that Obama knows and/or is friends with will come out in the press to have something happen to them to where they are exposed for the low-life dirtbag they really are?

    And just how long will it take before the gold leaf finally wears off of Capt. Big Ears’ halo?

    The Governor of Illionois supposedly kept Obama, the guy who he is charged with replacing as Senator, in the dark about everything?

    Please. Electing that Socialist, racist, anti-American pice of filth was a big enough insult. Stop trying to insult me further.

    Evidently there are a great many stupid people in our country who voted for Capt. Big Ears! And, guess what folks, you got what you wanted. You voted for high taxes, stand by. You wanted another Illinois politician in office, you got it! Now sit back and enjoy the attempted transition of a democratic republic into a socialist state. I don’t think it will happen but we all have to watch this 4 year movie regardless. Look, these clowns can’t even wait for the inauguration, corruption is breaking out already. These power-hungry idiots are not only eating the golden goose, they are building a time machine to go back and kill all of the goose’s relatives. I think that Capt Big Ears is in way way over his head and I wonder how long he can tread water. Pass the popcorn and a face towel to soak up the tears of laughter streaming down my face.

    Rod walks warily down the street,
    With his hair coiffed way down low
    Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet,
    Supoenas ready to go
    Are you ready, are you ready for this
    Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
    Out of the courthouse the warrants rip
    To the sound of the beat

    Another one’s under the bus
    Another one’s under the bus
    And another one gone, and another one gone
    Another one’s under the bus
    Hey, Im gonna get you too
    Another one’s under the bus

    How do you think I’m going to get along,
    Without you, when you’re gone
    You took me for everything that I had,
    And taxed me out of my home

    Are you happy, are you satisfied
    How long can you stand the heat
    Out of the courthouse the warrants rip
    To the sound of the beat

    Chorus

    Another one’s under the bus
    Another one’s under the bus
    Another one’s under the bus
    Another one’s under the bus
    There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
    And bring him to the ground
    You can bug him
    You can tap him
    You can treat him bad and leave him
    When he’s down
    But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you
    I’m standing on my own two feet
    Out of the courthouse the warrants rip
    Repeating the sound of the beat
