Sometimes, the blessings of "democracy" (if you call it that) are, at best, mixed. Witness this proposed law from Afghanistan. And these are the same guys we supposedly helped liberate?
Well, lookie here. It seems that ex-Governor Crook tried to strongarm my district's congressman (A guy I voted for, just so you know).
Riiiiight.
Strongarm somebody like that? A guy with a reputation of being a hardass? And someone who could, oh, I don't know - phone the local FBI office if he chose to, instead? Regardless of whether Emanuel did just that or not, the only way you can describe Blago's actions here involves some form of the word "idiot".
