Are there ANY honest politicians?

[GeoFisher]

Don't let your head swell too big there Joe, pretty easy to catch fish with the biggest political scandal going. You do get a star on your leaf for bringing it up first though. That enough credit for you?

Janet Reno? Pontooner, you need to get an appointment with your shrink, man. (Make me one too, while you're at it.)

True, Geo.
Under state law, the governor has the sole unfettered discretion to name Mr. Obama's replacement. Until he's impeached or resigns that hasn't changed. Unless the Senate can invoke some circumstantial privilege or rule, they can vote all they want but Blagojevich still has the authority.

You're right............The state senate is going to force the issue though. THE state supreme court can rule him unfit, or the Senate can call a special session (which they currently are planning on doing), and CHANGE the LAW. As it sits today..........the CROOK does, in fact have the authority to appoint someone.

BUT I don't believe any appointments would stand. NOT NOW.

Later,

Geo

Illinois? Who else came from there? Hmmmm? Gonna be very interesting how this latest Illinois scandal shakes out.

You better hope nothing else happens from this BS cause I don't think our country can handle anything else at this point.

[Devils Horse]

I wonder if they'll put Blag in there with the other Illinios governor(s)? I know there's already one in the klink now, and with another on the way they're going to have to build an new state pen just for governors up there. Geez, seems Illinois politics were more honest back in Al Capone's day than they are now.

Still giving President elect Obama the benefit of the doubt, I'm hoping fervently he'll be a good president. But you have to admit, him emerging from this political atmosphere makes you wonder.

Mr. Obama also seems to be making noises like he's backing off some on all those promises he made during the election. I'm trying as best I can to support the President elect, but as I said before if we middle classers don't get our tax cut, or we have a terrorist attack on our soil, I'm gonna be raising cane.

When you consider there are thousands of "politicians" in this country, I'd have to say there must be a few that are honest. I couldn't name one, but there has to be at least ONE.

Did anybody else see the list on Fox News yesterday of the most corrupt states in the country?

#1 Louisiana
#2 Illinois
#3 Kentucky

[Bobby Headrick]

# 3 I am Proud At least this state is in the top 3 for something, since we rank lower than most in Health care, education, revenue, state employees pay the list goes on and on, if it werent for horse racing, liquor, and fishing this state would ****,

You forgot beautiful women......

I thought I heard KY was famous for fast women and beautiful horses. It's been so long they may have said, "Beautiful women and fast horses." lol

Well now Bug, you are right but we got some pretty ones to. Southern women are the best. I lived in Michigan for about a half a year once and saw about 20 or so pretty women the whole time I was there, and one of them was the girl I was dating/living with from Kentucky, lol. Must be the lack of warmth and sunlight or something, Dang Yankees.

I seem to remember "Fast horses, corn-fed girls."

[bassin_bug]

That's why southern girls are so pretty. Give us an ear of corn and we're in "Hog Heaven." lol

Most of the yankee gals I've met have a face that will make a clock run backwards and an attitude to match. Say the word 'grits' to them and their eyes glaze over.
Oh, I just thought of this:

G-girls
R-raised
I-in
T-the
S-south
