It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that Rod Blagojevich has been ousted from his lofty status as
head racketeer Governor of Illinois. He had the following to say as he
was dragged walked away from the Governor's Mansion:
"
I come out of the alleys of Chicago City politics ," said Mr. Blagojevich, 52, who entered Democratic politics in 1992, first as a state rep, then as a US rep. "
That's a tough place. The politics there is not motivated by idealism or high purpose. It's nuts and bolts, and you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. I came up that way."
In honor of his rise to power up through the Chicago Machine™ the Richard J. Daily Memorial "Honesty in Politics Foundation" has come up with a limited edition commemorative Chicago Back-Alley Political Back Scratcher™ set.
This powerful set of Back Scratchers is truly a dream come true for any aspiring Chicago Pol. The players may change but Chicago Politics always remains the same!
Just look at these celebrity endorsements:
Hillary Clintion: "I would have sold my soul (if the devil didn't already own it) for a set like this 2 years ago!"
Ted Kennedy: "There's no way my brother Jack would have been president without it. It would have worked for me too if only my driving skills were better. Sigh... it seems my driving skills are only good enough for the state of Massachusetts"
James Riddle "Jimmy" Hoffa: "Take my word for it, the Back Alley Back Scratchers can keep things buried for a real long time!!"
Al Capone: "I used my back-scratchers all the time and ran Chicago into the ground well. Unfortunately my set didn't pay my taxes, so I wish I'd had the set with Geithner included. Oh, by the way it does not protect you from syphilis."
