Our daily sitcom continues.
Do you know what preceded all this news about Blogoyevitch trying to sell Obama's Senate seat?
Al Gore flew into town.
Al Gore flew into town, Chicago blows up.
Al Gore flew into town for a meeting with Obama.
Why would Al Gore do that?
Because Obama's far fringe kook leftist supporters are upset.
Mindlessly so, by the way.
They're just being paranoid.
They're upset that Obama has named a bunch of Clinton people the cabinet.
The Kook fringe thinks he's nothing, these Clinton people are nothing but centrists and so forth.
Um, I don't know what you leftists that support Obama expect.
He's only nationalizing the auto industry for crying out loud.
I mean, that's that's as that's as extreme leftist as we want to go in this country.
We won't even go there.
I mean, these people I don't think could be happy.
They cannot be made to be happy no matter what they're given, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
800-282-2882 is the phone number if you want to be on the program.
Sitcom continues.
From the Ventura County, California Star.
A rare 50-year Arctic blast sets its sights on Southern California.
Zany global cooling hits the liberal heartland of California.
With a week away and a sure sign of things to come.
The Weather.com is making preparations on the server to handle the traffic from this next event.
It's in line with the majority, if not all other models and keeping a near historic Arctic air mass in to the Southern California region.
Obviously, Gore is going to be out in California.
It's called the Gore effect.
Wherever he goes, cold weather shows up.
Now, this just is mind boggling.
Several Democrat operatives from Illinois say that the Illinois State Legislature will likely move as quickly as possible to hold impeachment hearings against Governor Blego in attempts to prevent him from appointing Obama's successor in the Senate.
Now you might be wondering how can that happen?
Well, it's very simple.
Illinois law allows Blagojevich to make the appointment while he is in jail.
Legislators in Illinois fought of everything.
They left nothing to chance.
They know their guys are going to go in jail.
Every Illinois governor in the last 25 years has been in jail, seems like.
Well, Blagojevich, anyways, the first Democrat governor there in I think uh 25 years.
While the decision would be a disaster for Democrats politically, nobody's ruling out the prospect of Blagojevich making the appointment from jail.
Any candidate appointed by the jailed governor would be immediately tainted and would face immense hurdles winning on their own in 2010.
Blagoevich could also appoint a caretaker to the seat, but that would not bode well for Democrats politically.
Having a sitting Democrat senator from Illinois appointed by a jailed governor would hurt the party's chances of holding the seat in 2010.
Who says?
Why would that make any difference?
I mean, this this uh if if there's another state that's pretty comparable to Illinois in this regard, and that's New Jersey.
And no matter what the Democrats do there, they keep getting re-elected even from jail.
So I I don't know why they're all worried in Chicago about what this is gonna mean.
I can understand them not wanting Blago to make the appointment Obama's Senate seat while he's in jail, not because of how it would make him look, by the way, but because of how it would taint the appointee given all of this.
First question the appointee would be asked, Well, what did you give Governor Blogevich in exchange for the nomination?
And then there would be a little bit of a media investigation.
By the way, you have to look long and hard in the news today and on television to find that Blago's a Democrat.
It's fascinating, but it's very difficult in the national media to find out his uh party affiliation.
Uh, by the way, one leading member of the local media in Chicago is calling on the Illinois legislature to impeach Blago.
His name is Mike Flannery, he's CBS II, eyeball news.
He said, This is disgraceful.
I'm gonna tell you there's every reason for the Illinois House of Representatives to convene.
And if he doesn't have the decency to resign, then the House ought to impeach him.
The state Senate ought to hold a trial quickly.
And I hope the governor does not move to make an appointment at this point.
Now I would remind Democrats, you're not handling this the way you usually have in the past.
I mean, this kind of corruption was, well, not the exact kind of corruption that was going on during the Clinton years, but back then all those things that were said, these were resume enhancements.
Or that didn't keep him from doing his job.
None of this kept him from doing his job.
You Democrats, you're, I mean, you're not even willing to give poor old BLEGO here the benefit of the doubt as the U.S. Constitution does.
He's innocent until proven guilty.
And look at this kind of backyard old West railroad justice, even the media wants to engage in now.
Get Blake go out of there real quick.
I'm you know, I am stunned that the Democrat Party has the capacity to be this embarrassed.
Because this is nothing new.
From Carol, let's listen, go down to the list here.
Half of the Ford family in Tennessee is in jail, right?
Carol mostly fraud.
What did she do?
She sold influence to a boyfriend or something.
Trip in Africa or some such thing.
You've got, you've got uh help me out.
We got you've Kwame Kilpatrick in Detroit.
Is he still in jail?
He's a Democrat.
You've got um oh yeah, Jim McGreevy in New Jersey.
And you got Torreselli.
Uh you got the three ex-Chicago governors.
There, they happen to be Republicans, but it's all part of the same machine in that state.
They couldn't catch Corzine, even the SUV tried to get him, but the SUV failed.
SUV did its best when the law wouldn't go up.
Uh Elliot Spitzer, William Jefferson, Congressman Democrat Louisiana, William Jefferson.
I mean, why why why why are they uh why are they why are they so embarrassed over this?
I mean, look at Franklin Rains at Fannie Mae.
Uh Jim Johnson at Fannie Mae.
Why are they embarrassed?
This is uh in the old days, I mean, this this kind of thing with Dan Rosty Rostinkowski.
Charles Wrangle, Charles of the Ethics Committee in the House investigating Wrangle.
Wrangle says he didn't do anything wrong.
Pelosi said we'll have an answer on this very soon, and it will be official.
He didn't do anything wrong.
Is Democrats say this is the Democrats cannot make ethics violations?
They can't commit them.
There's no such thing as an ethical violation if you're a Democrat.
Only Republicans are capable of that because Republicans publicly state that they have standards.
They have morals, they have this or that, and they think people ought to live by them.
Democrats say to hell with all that.
And so they can't be accused of hypocrisy.
And see, hypocrisy is the real crime.
And there's no hypocrisy here.
Nobody's surprised.
We're just laughing at it.
We're in the middle of a sitcom here.
And you've got Fitzgerald saying the governor of Illinois, he actually said this.
The governor of Illinois has taken us to a new low.
The governor of Illinois, he said Lincoln's turning over in his grave.
How about Jim McDermott?
Remember that old grandfather and grandmother couple that were driving along in their Cadillac on a turnpike in Florida, and just like all the rest of us, they had their little radio where they can monitor cell phone calls.
So they turned on the radio to listen to people's cell phone calls, just like you can do in your car.
And they overheard a phone call between John Boehner and Newt Gingrich.
They said, Wow, this is American history being made.
What do we do with this?
So they thought, let's send it to Jim McDermott, Democrat, state of Washington, Baghdad Jim.
They sent it to McDermott.
McDermott gave it to New York Times.
New York Times published a transcript.
Bahner sued and eventually prevailed over McDermott to the tune of 700 some odd thousand dollars.
What was the name of that grandfather and grandmother couple?
The Martins, yeah, the good old Martins.
They were just going to the mall to get some Christmas presents.
Uh for the grandkids of monitoring the uh cell phone call.
I happen to have a tape recorder.
Well, the the the cell phone uh radio is an automatic tape recorder as well.
But we I've got one of my car, don't you know?
Everybody has cell phone recorders and they just happen to tap into American history there as they're heading to the mall to buy Christmas presents.
So what's the big deal?
It's not change.
Don't tell me it's change.
This is not change we can believe in.
This is the same old, same old that we've always known is going on.
Here is uh something interesting from page 60 of the indictment against uh Governor Blogoevich, known as Governor Blogo in uh Illinois.
On the on November 7th, 2008, this is just uh 32 days ago.
November 7, 2008, Rod Blagoyovich discussed the open Senate seat in a three-way call with John Harris.
That's his chief of staff is also indicted, by the way, and advisor B, a Washington, D.C. based consultant.
Blogoevich indicated in the call that he was if he was appointed as Secretary of Health and Human Services by the President elect, then Blogoevich would appoint Senate candidate one to the open Senate seat.
I don't know who Senate candidate one is, but I do know that one of the people that was in the running for this who took herself out of the running is this Valerie Jarrett babe.
She's 56 years old she's born in 56, so she's um maybe 52 years old.
Big time advisor to Obama during his campaign and now.
And in a previous bite that we had from Pat Fitzgerald, they said he w his choice pulled herself out of the running, and that is what allows Obama to say had nothing to do with this.
Now, that's my interpretation.
That's not what Pat Fitzgerald said.
But I don't know who Senate candidate one is.
But Obama wanted somebody.
This is another thing that Fitzgerald said.
That uh an advisor told him that Obama had somebody in mind for this seat, but that Obama wasn't willing to pay for it.
And that's when Bogloyevitch started calling him, well, dropping the F-bomb and the Mother F-bomb and all of that all over the tape.
So Blagojevich discussed the open Senate seat in a three-way call with John Harris and advisor B. A Washington, D.C. based consultant.
Blogoevich indicated in the call that if he was appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services by Obama, then Blogoyevitch would appoint Senate candidate one to the open Senate seat.
Harris, chief of staff, stated we wanted our ask to be reasonable, and rather than make it look like some sort of selfish grab for a quid pro quo.
Quote unquote.
Rod Blagoevich stated that he needs to consider his family, and he is financially hurting.
Harris said that they are considering what will help the financial security of the Blagoevich family and what will keep Blogoevich politically viable.
Blogoevich stated, I want to make money, quote unquote.
During the call, Blogoevich, Harris, and advisor B discussed the prospect of working a three-way deal for the open Senate seat.
Harris, the chief of staff, noted that Blogoyevitch is interested in taking a high-paying position with an organization called Change to Win, which is connected to the Service Employees International Union.
Harris suggested that the service employees International Union official make Glavoyovich the head of change to win.
And in exchange, the president-elect could help Change to Win with its legislative agenda on a national level.
So they were all kinds of maneuvering was going on here to help excuse me.
Still got this bug, folks.
We'll have to bear with me on the uh on the coughing space.
I can't laugh.
I'm still I cannot laugh without erupting him, and that this whole show has been nothing but one giant laugh, and it remains a giant laugh, and I can't laugh.
It makes me sad.
It's very sad.
At any rate, all kinds of maneuvering was going on here.
Blogovich trying to get himself a union gig, then the health and human services, which of course he's not going to get now because uh the puffster got that one.
Yes, uh Mr. Snerdley, no, uh I have he might have considered appointing himself uh to the I have not have you seen something official on that?
Well, there's so much that's just coming out here.
This and this was this is from page 60 of the uh of the indictment, and there's so much coming out now here that it's it's it's gonna take some time to keep up with this.
Uh but I'm just I'm shocked that anybody is surprised at this.
This is standard operating procedure, particularly for Chicago.
Not to mention Illinois.
Back to the phones we go.
Uh, Dan in Pittsburgh, your next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you, sir.
Hey, how's it going, Rush?
It's an honor and a privilege to speak to you.
Thank you very much.
Oh, oh boy.
Uh, where do I begin with this one?
You stole half of my thunder there earlier about this.
Now, this is this is kind of a mess that we're all in here.
If this is the change and the hope we can all expect Oh my goodness, what have we gotten into?
I mean, come on.
This is phenomenal.
I mean, this this has been nothing but 60 years of affirmative action realized, and it's coming back and it's blowing up in our faces.
I mean, this is unbelievable.
It's phenomenal.
Blatant crimes being committed.
I I I must, I must stop you here.
Uh I understand your incredulity, and I understand your shock.
I understand your awe.
You have to understand that not one person who voted for Obama cares a whit about this.
Not one person who voted Obama will associate Obama with this because they don't want to.
President elect Obama will become President Obama in what, forty some odd days, fifty days, whatever it is.
And he will lead the nation for the next four years or eight years, and maybe the next twelve or sixteen years, as he attempts to emulate FDR.
FDR had four terms and he wasn't a messiah.
Obama is a messiah, and if he wants sixteen years and four terms, who's to stop him.
Now, I am your host, as you know, ladies and gentlemen, the all-knowing, all seeing, all caring, all feeling, all concerned Maharushi.
And thus it falls on my shoulders to explain the Obama phenomenon, the presidency, the president electancy, to help you understand it, to evaluate it, and to coexist with it.
It is really quite simple.
All you need to understand about Barack Obama is it's not what he says.
It is how he says what he says.
Barack Obama can say anything.
And it will not matter to those who voted for him.
Because of how he says what he says.
Not even his base, the kook fringe left understand this.
This is something only I, a highly trained observer and uh broadcast specialist, have uh have made uh it possible for others to understand.
It's not that Obama promised change.
He didn't specify much change, it's that he said change.
He said change in a way that resonated with people.
He didn't have to tell people what kind of change, he just said change.
Even Tom Brokaw doesn't get it yet, folks.
On Sunday, he asked Obama questions about one or two of his past statements.
Tom, it doesn't matter What Obama said in the past.
It's not what Obama says.
It's how he says it.
And this is the single greatest piece of advice I can offer you in helping you maintain your sanity as this sitcom rolls on for the next four, eight, twelve, or sixteen years.
It doesn't matter what he says.
And if you get caught up in analyzing and parsing what he says, you are going to sound to an Obama voter like an absolute fool and an idiot.
You want some proof?
Shall I illustrate this?
I'll be glad to do so.
Twenty-four months ago, Obama said he wanted us out of Iraq in sixteen months.
Twenty-four months ago.
Twelve months ago.
Obama also said in sonorous tones that he wanted us out of Iraq in 16 months.
Last month, before the election, he once again said in sonorous tones, he wants us out of Iraq in sixteen months.
No one cares that sixteen months have come and gone, and we're still in Iraq.
No one cares that he has said, oops, might be there a little longer than that, three years maybe, maybe a hundred years, might be able to base.
they don't care don't care what he says what they care about is how he says it I'll give you another example shortly after this obscene prophet time out don't go away Remember, my friends, it's not what Obama says.
It's how he says it.
He was going to lower the C's, he was going to put people back to work, he was going to create all these jobs and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then on Sunday says it's going to get worse.
But he said it with compassion and understanding, and he cares about us.
He's warning us.
It's not what he says.
It's how he says it.
If you're going to get caught up in what he says, trying to make him out to be a hypocrite or whatever, isn't going to matter, not to the people who elected him, not to the people who love him.
It's how he says what he's a cult figure.
Now, I checked the email during the break.
I kept a lot of people who want me to address, to say, Rush, just you, you, you're treating this with a little humor.
We appreciate that.
But come on, Rush, do you really think Obama was not involved?
Let me give you my take on this because my take on Obama's involvement here is multi-haceted.
Now, Rick Moran, in fact, at the American thinker, has opined on this as well he says.
If if you think Obama was stupid enough to get involved in these kinds of dealings with the Blogoevich, you can forget about it.
Obama likely already knew of Blagoevich's incredible corruption because of his own relationship with Rezco, the convicted Chicago political fixer who was a valuable associate of both Obama and Blago.
In fact, it came out at Resco's trial that Obama was present during a couple of meetings where Redzko alluded to his pay-for-play scheme that has now ensnared the governor.
Obama no doubt gave Blogoyevit a wide berth after learning about how interested the prosecutors were in the governor's wheeling and dealing and took his own choice for the Senate seat out of the running.
Now, this stuff against Volgoyevich, or people are beginning to speculate now that he may be genuinely insane or not mentally stable.
Because he knew all this was going on, and yet he continued to offer the seat first to the union or was the talking of and by the way, all these people are intimately involved with Obama.
A union that helped get him elected, uh, an offshoot of the union that takes Obama's favorite word and makes it a titally organization, change to win or whatever it is.
Blogevich thinking, and by the way, uh, Mr. Schnurtley, you were right, I did check this.
Blogoevich did say that he was willing to appoint himself.
Quote, if I don't get what I want, and I'm not satisfied with it, then I'll just take the Senate seat myself.
This was said in recorded conversations, according to the prosecutors.
And then of course he tries to withhold illegally withhold some state funding for the Tribune Company in an effort to get them to fire the editorial board at the paper.
Now, that's just silly.
To think that that was going to happen.
What must your mental state be?
Not that we wouldn't love to see it, don't misunderstand, but what does your mental state have to be to think that you're going to be able to pull that kind of thing off?
And then you're out there selling a Senate seat to anybody who will talk to you about it.
Um, you know, while you know that they're investigating you.
Now, I find it hard to believe that once Obama found out this was going on, he hadn't to do it.
I think he backed off.
I think he tried to keep his distance and he pulled his pick out of the running, and we think that's Valerie Jarrett.
But I want to go back to something that's to me quite interesting.
I want to go back to a Pat Fitzgerald bite, ladies and gentlemen, from this morning in Chicago at his press conference.
Listen carefully to these remarks.
We have a Senate seat that seemed to be as recently as days ago auctioned off to the, you know, to the highest bidder for campaign contributions, and Governor Blagorovich's own words on the tape or the bug that's set forth in the complaint, talked about selling this like a sports agent.
So we stepped in for a number of reasons.
Basically, as I said before, we're in the middle of a corruption crime spree, and we wanted to stop it.
All right.
We are in the middle of a corruption crime spree, and I want it to stop.
Now, I'm my friends am not in law enforcement, but I have a question about this.
If you see crimes being committed, if you are in the middle of a crime spree, and these are nonviolent crimes, we're talking white collar corruption here, you know for a fact, because of what you already know that more people will be drawn into the crime spree, especially in the white collar area.
Why do you blow the whistle and shut it down?
Why do you shut it down when you and your Pat Fitzgerald, man?
I mean you, your Elliott Ness.
And there's a crime spree going on, and you shut it down.
Now this causes little neurons to start firing in my fertile frontal lobe.
I don't know.
I mean, it it it's it seems this was done to stop one thing, and that is Blogoevich making this Senate appointment.
It seems like they moved in to stop this Senate appointment scandal, and why would they do that?
Why would they stop the investigation?
Why would they there's a crime spree going on?
Why would Fitzgerald or whoever's running him move in and shut this thing down?
Just because they didn't want this corrupt individual like we've never had one before in Chicago naming Obama's replacement?
Well, why would that be?
Why would they want to stop this guy when there's a crime spree going on?
Fitzgerald's words, we are in the middle of a corruption crime spree.
We want it to stop.
What's the rest of that sentence?
We want it to stop before it ensnares X, Y, and Z, and who the hell knows who else?
It's Obama's Senate seat we're talking about here being put up for auction.
And we know that Obama had somebody in mind for the seat.
And that person took themselves out of the running.
Suspiciously.
Just hours or days prior to the crime spree being shut down with the indictment today.
One thing it seems certain to me, and that is that somebody in Chicago did not want Obama stepping into this mess after the first attempted arrangement fell through because he had somebody in mind.
And I remember a couple weeks ago, maybe a little longer than that, maybe not quite as long.
Obama was asked.
Do you have anybody in mind?
Because that's when Jesse Jackson's name was surfacing, and there was pressure being brought to bear on Blogo to keep the seat black.
And they were saying Jesse Jackson Jr. might be and and and Obama's odd, that's the governor's job, and I'm not I'm not involved.
I'm not in any way, uh shape, manner, or form.
That's I'm uh I'm above that now.
I'm the president elect, that's the governor's job.
I have no say in that, and so forth and so on.
Now I know I'm the one who just said it doesn't matter what Obama says, it's how he says it.
But he did say that.
Uh and I was uh didn't think much about it at the time, obviously, because I've known all along it doesn't matter what he says.
This this is a guy who's never gonna get in trouble for what he says.
That's my bottom line.
So it's you just better get used to that.
Yes, Mr. Snerdley, a question from the program observer.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah.
An investigation like this, the higher ups, the Justice Department, of course, know what's going on.
Now he is the U.S. attorney for Chicago.
Uh Mike Garcia's, you know, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of uh Manhattan.
Uh he I'm sure he's the Northern Illinois U.S. Attorney Fitzgerald.
Yeah, the Justice Department knows what's going on here.
They do.
Um I don't know why that would happen to do it.
Start me.
What are you trying to stir and back to the phones?
We go to Flowery Branch, Georgia.
This is close to the uh training headquarters of the Atlanta Falcons.
Doug, great to have you with us on the EIB network.
Hello.
Russ, uh, I am more than honored.
You are my God.
But I speak for many of us.
Um you brought up another brilliant point early today, and that was how this helping out people in foreclosure is going to have them start making their payments.
And having been thrown into a collection effort in a business of mine that's struggling, I'm finding out there are two things, intent and ability.
And I with everything you've been saying the last half an hour or so, this really kind of ties in with the whole Obama mentality.
His intent is great.
People are all tied into intent.
But what's the ability?
Whatever happened to let's see some something get done.
Well, I uh look at you're you're expressing the frustration of multitudes because if you look at pretty much any liberal social program in the last fifty years, you'd have to say that on balance they have a failed, b cost far, far, far more than ever we were told.
Of course.
And yet we're not allowed to examine the results.
We are told to examine the good intentions of the designers.
Because you see, they are liberals and they are compassionate, they have hearts and we don't.
You and I are cold-hearted, mean-spirited extremists, so goes the tale.
And Democrats, at least, see, they are trying to help.
You and I want people to starve.
You and I want people to freeze.
You and I want all this to happen.
You and I want all these horrible things to happen to people because we're mean, but they care.
So when you ask, where's the action behind Obama's intent?
There won't be any required.
And the same thing with so many of these people were being fooled in this into this foreclosure.
We uh the lawmakers are thinking, well, if we've given them a break, haven't we shown them the good side?
Aren't we really feeling their pain?
And now won't they come around?
I mean, my goodness, look at we've knocked 200 dollars off that $3,000 a month payment.
This guy's gotta be good for it now.
Are you kidding me?
We're talking about five percent reductions.
What has changed in their ability?
Nothing.
And their size, this doesn't surprise me at all, Ross.
And again, your brilliance, just the light went on, and I loved it.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
You take care of it.
You do the same.
Here's the story that he's talking about.
Uh this is from Reuters, Obama.
Recent data.
I mean, uh again, folks, the sitcom continues, and I am, I'm really bummed, because I cannot laugh.
If you people think today's show is fun, I thank you.
I am unable to participate in the fund by laughing because it causes coughing spasms and it it ticks me off.
Because this is just this this stuff.
You couldn't write this.
A sitcom writer, my my friend James Burroughs, prolific director of sitcoms in Hollywood, could not come up with this stuff.
And he is a lib.
Recent data suggests that many borrowers who received help with mortgage modifications earlier this year tended to re-default on their payments, according to a top U.S. banking regulator.
I'm trying.
Not to laugh.
Yes, they are.
They're recidivists.
The results, I confess, excuse me.
Um the results, I confess, were somewhat surprising and not in a good way, said John Duggan, head of the U.S. Office of the Controller of the Currency, in prepared remarks for a U.S. housing forum.
Put simply, it shows that over half of mortgage modifications seemed not to be working after six months.
However, data which is to be issued by the OCC, that's the Office of the Controller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision, the OTS, not to be confused with the OCC, next week could throw cold water on a push by some policymakers for loan modifications as the key remedy for ailing financial and economic crisis.
Well, you better study this before we do that, because if you study what's already been done, you get results that are somewhat surprising.
And what what we're learning is that deadbeats don't pay.
Wow!
Dead beats don't pay, even when you make it easier for deadbeats to pay, they stiff you.
The results are somewhat surprising.
Over half of rework mortgages seem not to be working after six months, and Duggan said, quote, we don't know the answer yet.
But these are the types of questions that we have begun asking our servicers in detail.
They weren't paying.
And so we're gonna come in and we're gonna ride it on a white horse.
And we're gonna be the good guys.
We care.
We understand affordable housing.
We're gonna make it easier for you to pay off what you couldn't pay in the first place.
And we get great credit for being compassionate, loving, and concerned.
And we're gonna make it possible for you to stay in that $300,000 house, even if the window company you work for goes bankrupt.
And we make it easier, and you don't pay, and we don't know why.
When you weren't paying in the first place.
You forget you're into the bargain.
We're here to make ourselves look good.
And you're making us look bad by being who you are.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And so now the these wizards of smart, ladies and gentlemen, are thinking that maybe this same plan, if applied in a far broader fashion to the financial crisis at large, may not work.
In other words, if you owe just to pick a figure, ten grand on your credit card, and they'll say reduce it to five.
They're now figuring you may not pay off the five either.
And these people actually think that these deadbeats are gonna be so grateful and so thankful that they're going to start paying their mortgages when they weren't in the first place just to return a kindness.
So you're not paying, and rather than be tossed out of your house, some wizard of smart from the government shows up, okay, okay, okay, okay.
You don't like that rate?
Well, fine, we'll we'll we'll cut your payment by $500 a month.
Sign here.
Okay, cool.
I was with $500 a month.
And six months goes by and they haven't received a payment.
And I don't know why.
Uh results are surprising.
Gotta do a study now to figure this out.
By the way, speaking of Patrick Fitzgerald, the um Elliott Ness in Chicago.
Remember, he let the Valerie Plame investigation keep going and going and going and going and going for years after he knew who the leaker was.
Richard Armitage.
He needed a process crime.
He needed somebody to lie under oath.
He had to get somebody after starting the investigation after he already had the answer that everybody wanted.
But the blago investigation shut down in the middle of a crime spree.
Export Selection
