A Progressive's F-Bombs

Via Feds: Jackson Jr. at meeting on Senate seat/fund-raising trade

In one recording, Blagojevich is heard criticizing Jackson as well as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who had called the then-governor to lobby against a Jackson appointment:

"If I'm so f------ repugnant to them, take Jesse Jackson Jr. F--- them. ... Why the f--- should I send f------ Lisa Madigan who gets zero support among African Americans, piss off my base. ... And I don't get anything? F--- you, Harry Reid."

For reasons I can't quite fathom, many Chicago Progressives speak just like the Guv here...all the time, at least when they don't think they're being recorded. It's startling when you have feet in both camps. You quickly notice it.
