Un-freaking-Believable

I am sorry peeps, it's an unoriginal title to an unoriginal post about someone we're probably all sick of already. And I try not to further saturate anything that's oversaturated. Really, I do.

At least it's not Sarah Palin this time, it's worse. One of our own who Should Have Known Better.

I am confused, angry, and disgusted by the hopefully soon to be ex governor of Illinois' actions. If he weren't so profane and indignant in the tape recorded conversations, I'd swear he had a death wish, or wished to take down the Democratic party. But he is profane and in your face which I guess makes him incredibly full of himself, stupid or both.

Ironic that I would have to do this now having been outside the political fray for years and even when I was in it, was only on the outskirts. But here it is, call it Preppycrat's Laws of Politics:

#1) If it looks bad it IS bad. Ask Bill Clinton about this. Monica wasn't bad in and of herself, after all the bumper sticker is right "When Clinton Lied, Nobody Died" But it sure looks bad for Democrats who want to answer the other party's charges that we lack family values.

So...if something really IS bad, you're even more burnt toast than if you did something that looked bad. What Blago did IS bad, and it's on the tape.

#2) What you say and do can taint those around you who are associated with you by geography or party affiliation. Again, Bill is a culprit here. It's widely believed that were it not for Monica, he and Al Gore might not have fallen out and maybe Gore could have won the 2000 election. Yes, I still feel it was basically stolen from him. But - here's the trillion dollar question - what if he had won by more percentage points? Maybe he would have if Bill hadn't done... well, you know. Then maybe the SCOTUS wouldn't have tried to steal the election.

Unfortunately, this might taint Barack as well. Lord knows, he's kept his distance from Blago but the problem is :

#3) Even after Sarah Palin, Republicans still generally are covered with teflon and Dems are covered in velcro. I shudder to think what the Repugs would have said if Joe Biden's daughter were having a baby with a man who she wasn't married to. Bad things just don't ever seem to stick as much to the repugs as they do to the Dems. And it's already starting, in the last 5 minutes our buddy Rush has added items that have shown up in Google news linking Barack to Blago. It's already starting and the poor man hasn't even been sworn in as President.

This is the LAST thing he needs right now. F**k you very much Blago. Orange might not be the most flattering color to dark haired men with green eyes, but you'd best get used to wearing it. For a very long time.
