Obama and indicted B’more mayor Dixon

Another friend of Obama causes another Maalox moment (via Baltimore Sun, hat tip – Jeff Quinton)

Sheila Dixon expects to be part of the festivities when Barack Obama comes to town Saturday, a source close to the mayor said yesterday.

Maryland politicos have been buzzing about whether the president-elect, having just left behind a shady home-state governor, will appear on stage with the newly indicted Baltimore mayor. Speculation that Dixon would be disinvited grew as word spread that Obama would speak at the War Memorial Building rather than City Hall.

Cue the Police:

    No audio, but I am going to assume the song is “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”?

    In which case that is one creeeeepy song if you ever listen to the lyrics.

    All of this really puts a new twist on the term “shared values.”

    This group you can paint with the same brush.

    Chapoutier–the song has a long lead, but there is audio.

    If you think that Police song is spooky, listen to their stalker song that people like to play at weddings – “Every Breath You Take.”

    Urban, I meant I do not have audio access right now. But agreed abotu “Every Breath.” I will never understand why some people find that song romantic. Its like thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic.

    Sure sounds like a episode from “The Wire” on HBO.

    Speaking of the inauguration. I just got a call from my tv/internet/telephone provider, Verizon FIOS, inviting me to watch ‘the inauguration of President Elect Barak Obama’ on HBO – for FREE!
    Thanks FIOS for using my subscription money to celebrate the election of our first foreign born, terrorist befriending, socialist president.
    It’s a shame they have the best service, otherwise I’d drop them in a heartbeat.

    Its all about Stings days as a teacher. And the dilemma of a young male teacher and a hot teenage girl that is teasing him. what to do…..what to do….

    I’ve been yucking it up thinking that if she does get into earshot of P/E Obama, she’d ask for a pardon…up front.
    Also, if Obama wants to be so much like Lincoln, then he should skulk thru Baltimore in the middle of the night, just like Lincoln did. He’d avoid so much by doing that.

    We must overlook the short comings of enfranchised people of color. They have been victimized for decades, kept out of the mainstream, and have not yet had time to figure out how things work.

    Perhaps having white corrupt-o-crats mentor them will get them up to speed more rapidly, and avoid all the legal/ethical pitfalls they face while maintaining the liberal dictum of status quo?

    One may enrich themselves at the public trough, but it must be accomplished sub rosa, and with an air of indignant outrage, if discovered.

    Wow, I recently started watching ‘The Wire’ (which takes place in Baltimore and deals with its institutional dysfunction) on DVD … I guess we have a case of life imitating art here.

    No, he’ll be cooling his heels in a downtown Detroit jail cell–but I’m sure he has a TV in his private cell, so he’ll tune in. Mayor Sheila Dixon is a kindred spirit though, as she appears to treat journalists just like King Kwame.

    st_james — Same call here. Bribe-in-kind to the new Omerika 2009 kleptocracy by Fios. I thought they called it “We Are One”, and that it was scheduled for Sunday. A star-studded fest, iirc.

    I called back and spoke to a “telemarketing services rep” and let him know I did not want calls about Obama, and felt that this was a bribe by Verizon, since it was political and not national. “We Are One” being a political slogan.

    Come’on guys what about Federal inmate #28791-050(Sharpe James), ex-Newark, NJ mayor now cooling his heels in the federal pen and Washington DC role model Marion Barry…….Can’t we get an invite for all these fine upstanding citizen politicians to be on stage with the Messiah?

    In fact, if you wanted to invite all the corrupt Democrat NJ politicians you’d need a much bigger venue to hold the party.
