By the way, this story broke on the New York Times website. Damn liberal media. Oh wait.

 

That would have been really funny if the New York Times ignored a huge scandal involving the Governor of New York. But you're right, it proves they aren't biased. FOX news covered the Larry Craig scandal, so that proves they are totally down the middle, not biased.

Chicago is so pro-Obama it isn't even funny. Everyday there are articles in the papers, but the whole Chicago media is in love with the guy. You hardly hear anything for Hillary or McCain.

 

Naturally, they did elect him as Senator. Unless Obama's campaign was radically different, every statewide dem has to pull in huge Chicago numbers, break even in the collar counties and pray downstate doesn't turn out.

 

If I was McCain, I would not spend a lot of time in Illinois, but I would not ignore it either.

Til the Trib endorses McCain, because they always endorse the GOP candidate :-)

 

On a side bar, I could hardly believe my eyes for the endorsements in the special election for Hasterts seat. The ST endorsed Oberweis, and the Trib endorsed Foster.

Is Obereis from the dairy family? If so, he was a huge supporter or chess in the area. Nice man IIRC.

Yes, it is the same family.

 

Then I would never vote for him, his daughter, or one of the family ladies, kicked my ass in a tournament in Aurora :lol:

 

Rep I assume?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_D._Oberweis

 

Jim was an avid chessplayer in his home state of Illinois. He attained a ranking of 1900 - a class A player.

 

He ran the Fox Valley Chess Club successfully for many years making it one of the state's premier and most active chess venues. He also served a two year term as the Illinois Chess Association President. He has also served as an Illinois delegate for the United States Chess Federation. He served as a trustee of the American Chess Foundation, and the Chess Trust Fund - a non-for-profit organization.

The race was over Hastert's seat, so it was a big pick up for the Dem's.

Well, it was a bunch of Chicago reporters who grilled him on Rezko so hard he walked off stage a week or two ago.

THE SCRIPT Mr. Spitzer (voice-over): “Recently my running mate, David Paterson, and I toured the school he attended as a child, walking past the very same hall signs he did 40 years ago. You begin your journey on Trustworthy Turnpike, make a left past Honesty Road, turn down Integrity Lane and eventually, if you’ve walked the right way, end up on Responsibility Road. Starting in January, we’ll be leading our state government on the same journey. And we’re going to make it all the way to the end.”

 

 

 

This is priceless!

There's a difference between covering and breaking the story. Drudge, AP, CNN, Fox News all listed the story initially as the New York Times reports that.

If the NY Times doesn't break it, it's still getting out there. This wasn't an exclusive scoop.

Item number one that says we pay politicians too much money... Spitzer has dropped $80,000 on call girls according to Fox News 32 tonight...

Yeah, I was wondering where he got that kind of loose cash. I'd be curious to know.

They are the only ones who can spend $50,000,000 for a job that pays $100,000.

 

It's only $50 mil because the printers are getting rich ;)

For those of you thinking that Gov. Spitzer's undercover investigation was perhaps the greatest ever undertaken by an elected official or celebrity, I remind you of this specially deputized undercover narcotics agent and the President®* who made it possible.

Putting The King on the FBI drug task force was sheer brilliance. He kept untold quantities of pills off the streets. . . by taking them all himself.
