Oh, wait. No it isn't.

Speaking of Geithner, d'ju see the campaign to red ink stamp over all of  his currency signatures: TAX CHEAT?

I like it.

 

3 Kirk is likely to win now.  So we'll win Obama's seat and Biden's seat and Reid's seat and Pelosi's seat.

Fuck you San Francisco.  Dirty hippies.

4 You said, "FDIC".

[giggle]

5

Frankly I don't see the problem here. If Geitner can blame TurboTax, surely Alexi can pin this on QuickBooks.

I blame the BOOBIES!

 

6 Quick books all right.  Take all the profits, give your buddies loans for favors, leave all losses to taxpayers.  Easy Money.

7 You broke off a big tits discussion for THIS!?

Down goes Giannoulias! Down goes Giannoulias!

Well, I'm really spent after the boob thread.  I think I'll have a smoke, roll over and go to sleep.

"...an expected but daunting challenge."

WTF does that even mean?

I have had several "expected but daunting challenges" after I have royally screwed something up too, but never anything as large as a whole friggin' bank.

11 So who is the stand in going to be? Does Val get a shot. Basically, they get to ignore the primaries and jam a name into the slot. Viva la corrupcion!

12 Democrat Party nominee switcheroo in 5... 4... 3... 2...

13

Do ya think there is still people stupid enough to even have their money in this asshole's bank? Eeeesh, maybe Bill Maher was right.

 

14 Giannoulias is out?  Giannoulias is out?

15 Is this in conjunction with Easy Bake's Friday Evening News Dump?

16 I figure that sometime tomorrow morning Lisa Madigan is going to wake up to find a gun pressed to her temple, a pen in her hand, and FEC declaration papers in her lap.

17

Bwahahahahaha, Obama will probably need to intervene in some way in order to keep the lid tightly closed on the trunkful of Chicago way secrets on deposit with the Giannoulias family.

18 How does the underside of your bus look, Alexi?

19 Is this in conjunction with Easy Bake's Friday Evening News Dump?

No, the FDIC always announces bank closings on Friday, while normal Americans are getting shitfaced and learning to conjugate the verb "paycheck".

20

"With the immediate dissolution of Broadway Bank, taxpayers, meaning those idiots who remit Federal Income Tax to the Treasury, will be issued a small tube of KY-Jelly to lessen the pain."

-Federal Regulators, aka Obama's Boys

21 So how much did this guy lose? Oh, right, he looted it 1st. Unfortunately, this prick will still win. Even if he does get jail.

22 I feel a headache coming on.  Can I get some aspirin here?!

23 Fiday news dump? No, they were just waiting for all the suckers w/direct deposit.

24 I'm ready!

25 -Federal Regulators, aka Obama's Boys The use of Obama and any form of the word "boy" in the same sentence is strictly prohibited . This will be your last warning .

26 AL Capone would be proud.

27

"Let me make this very clear to all citizens of Chicago.  My family had a strong relationship with Broadway Bank, but my involvement was to only work during the summer as a stationary fluffer or shagging coffee for the boss.  I have no involvement with this collapse, and am truly sorry if you were inconvenienced."

-Alexi Giannoulias, Candidate for Illinois Senate

28 FDIC closes banks on Friday, RushBabe.

29 Whoopsie daisy! hahaha Closures happen on Fridays as the regulators take the weekend to review the books and transfer the buisiness to another bank they chose a few days before. It all has to be done by Monday morning.

30

"I only do the deed on Friday's in honor of news dumps and the bad press given to my dad for his liberal leanings."

-Meghan McCain

31 Pretty soon if we want money out of the bank we'll have to do it like Kelly's Heroes.

32 aka Obama's Boys

Nobody wants to see that.

33 Annabelle, yeah they want everything back and operating for people who need to do business on Monday. FDIC is named receiver but all accounts have been transferred to MB Financial Bank.

Laura Ingraham doing The Factor can out O'Reilly........well O'Reilly.  Laura is a more tenacious interviewer, doesn't talk over the guests, and asks very probing questions instead of the squishy "can't we all get along because I'm looking out for you" crap from O'Factor.

35 As long as they don't shut down the nudie bars, America will survive.

FWIW Lately they've taken to skipping the 'paycheck' part and are sticking strickly to the 'shitfaced' part.

37 It's an impressive process. Apparently a few go in to notify the staff then a swarm of auditors and accountants take over, but no one can leave the bank until they're done. Pretty frightening for an honest employee trying to earn a paycheck that's also now unemployed.

38 Yeah, I've been watching the FDIC closings. And yes, I know I have absolutely no life.

If you go to their home page, SEVEN banks, all in IL, closed today.

Not a particularly good sign- most of the times there are a smaller number of banks (although last week there were eight) scattered among more than one state.

Doesn't look good for IL.

39 The upside is that the newly unemployed can get shitfaced and sleep til noon.

40

34 Agreed...O'reilly gets awnry only when he feels the need to grand stand re the Bawny Frank interview last year. Laura could teach Ocreilly and Hannity a thing or two.

 

41 But wait! They aren't even Italian! Don't you need to be Italian to be Mob-connected?

42

But wait! They aren't even Italian! Don't you need to be Italian to be Mob-connected?

 

It's the Irish mob....O'Bama.

43

Hannity is unwatchable to me because of his drone like approach to issues as he regurgitates the same talking points every day and itÂ’s very old and boring. Maybe IÂ’m just so enamored with the lively repartee of Rush that itÂ’s hard to accept a less skilled talker.

44

Don't you need to be Italian to be Mob-connected?

43 tru dat...I hope this new conservative TV channel that Kelsey Grammar is involved in gives us folks a little more variety. If not for Megan Kelly, Ainsley Airhart, Susanne Senna... and Krauthammer, I wouldn't watch much.

   

48 Hannity may in fact be an escaped animatronic from Disneyland. I'm still checking my sources.

49

 

What do you mean only Italians are mobsters?  We Jew boys also have a hand in the action, and I remember saying I wanted to "live fast, die young and have a good-looking corpse."

50 "Krauthammer" sounds like something Gallagher would do.

51 Hannity may in fact be an escaped animatronic from Disneyland.

That's offensive.

52 I remember saying I wanted to "live fast, die young and have a good-looking corpse

2 outta 3 ain't bad.

53

"Krauthammer" sounds like a German tank or submarine.

 

54

Dr. Charles Krauthammer is by far the most instructive and intuitive talking head on television.  He's a critical thinker who doesn't just spew conservative rhetoric, but gives a thoughtful response after knowing the facts.  I don't always agree with Dr. Kraut, but I respect his ability to form a concise and logical answer to very difficult questions. 

PS - Fuck Juan Williams

 

 

55 Juan Williams is only useful to Earth as a bad example.

56

<i>"Krauthammer" sounds like a German tank or submarine.</i>

Or a handy kitchen appliance for making cabbage juice.

57 Mob Rules

58 I thought Krauthammer was the name of Gandalf Eisenhower's sword.

59

54 Ha... you notice how pissy Juan has been of late? In fact all the Libtard talkers seem to be on the brink of a major meltdown. My guess is that their saviour hasn't livd up to his billing...by a loooong shot.

Steve Hayes has been pretty solid on the Special Report panel as well.

 

 

60

57 only if you listen to fools!

 

 

61

I hope this leads right back to Blogavich, Daley and uh hmm...... Obama and crew.

yes i can dream.

62

Ever get a Kansas City Krauthammer?

Its kinda like a Twin City taint tug w/o the lingering side effects of a Hoboken hob knob.

It would be a shame if anything were to happen to your bank Alexi.

Hayes does acquit himself well, and Juan Williams was a complete ass tonight on the immigration issue.  He continues to carry water for O"Butthead, saying the law in Arizona was profiling and against the law?

What the liberal/socialists don't realize is cops don't need to make up any excuse for stopping anyone.  Little minor details such as speeding, seat belts, taillight, and registration in vehicles is sufficient probable cause to stop the vehicle.

Walking or standing is somewhat different, but asking for identification for suspected drug buys, loitering, disturbing the peace, domestic violence, theft, discharge of firearm, etc., is also sufficient probable cause to ask for identification. 

The Mexican Mafia, also known as La Raza, and other “letÂ’s fuck the gringos” organizations are huffing and puffing about this law.  Well, fuck ‘um!

 

67

Blago...Gino...IL just got a little bit more interesting.  What's next?  They start bringing up the curious case of the three dead guys at Rev. Wright's church?

gotta go buy a shitload of popcorn

68

Don't for Rezco, he's knee deep and will be singing like Micheal Jackson at Nickelodean award show.

fingers crossed.

 

69
So, is this a pre-emptive tactical strike on one of Wee Wee's biggest donors and Chi-Town cronies in an attempt to make his war on Wall Street seem more legit and on the level ?

Its a good thing I trust the media to expose this for what it really is, hypocrisy and collusion at its worst.

I keed, I keed, who am I kidding? Theyre probably all lining up to sniff Easy Bakes BVD's and give him a scrotum massage.

70 Save your popcorn. Nothing will stick, with any of these liars, cheats and thieves. As long as they're on the left side of the aisle the media will cover for them and the idiot 52%ers will always be out there.

71

whoa. the boyz at Hillbuzz are gonna love this one.

 

72

66 Not so sure -- but I get the hunch he might decide to "gracefully and quietly" drop out, citing health concerns or wanting to spend time with his family in about a month.

If he doesn't, then something just might definitely be afoot (like I said -- the Combine and even the Daley Machine don't really care if the Dems lose; the GOP is largely on their jock in this state too).

73 I don't have a lot of faith that the prosecutors can't be bought or bribed or threatened.

74

69  They start bringing up the curious case of the three dead guys at Rev. Wright's church?

Haven't heard about this, do tell! linky?

 

75 Is this part of Patrick Fitzgerald's case ?

I'd only read about 1.

77

 

Here's the dead guys/Obama story.

78

Oh crud, I don't do that tinyurl thing-y (not computer proficient) -- let's see, from my memory:

3 guys from the church were all found dead within the space of a month.  I think it was back in '07 or 06, but don't quote me on that part.  One was I believe the choir director, who was considered to be close to a certain senator who had hopes and dreams.  All three were publicly gay (aka. not on the down low).  Quarles Harris, and I can't remember the names of the other two.  There was some rumor that one of them had some information concerning that senator.  Nothing really came of the investigations that I can remember, and it wasn't even widely reported on.

I could try looking it up; it would take a while.

79

<i>They start bringing up the curious case of the three dead guys at Rev. Wright's church</i>

 

The bodies are still there. Neither God nor Satan want them.

80 Sitting waiting for Kick-Ass to start (expectations low), and every male in the theater is white while every female (3) is Asian. Hmmmmmm......

81 Alexi is doing the old Sgt. Schultz routine. He was in charge of those loans yet he heard nothing, saw nothing and knows nothing

82

67 Fish.... from the "Arizona" thread earlier:

94 65 Whoa!  Judge Nappy just told Cavuto that this would be a calamity for Brewer and AZ and that Hispanic voters would flee the GOP in droves.

Posted by: RushBabe at April 23, 2010 04:51 PM (LKkE

I disagree w/Nappy..IMO I think the exact opposite is going to happen. Just as in all cultures their is a pecking order esp. w/Hispanics. They do not appreciate the illegals coming in on the cheap while they had to work hard a pay their dues. Lots of resentment and bad blood. 

My wife is Chilean and they deeply resent people that come here illegaly. They have a really insulting phrase for the illegals, I can't remember it know but i will ask her what it is.

LaRaza is all bark, the majority of legal spanish citicenze don't have the time or patience for these people. They are the same thugs that compelled alot of them to leave their home country in the first place.

good find Fish

 

 

88 Wow - an old white Guy.

89

80 81 WoW!!! This story along with the Kumar story from yesterday!! Too much, too good to be true, unless your one of the black guys with bullet holes in his head. i will pray for justice for these young men. God please!!

 

90

81  To correct and amend myself: Spencer, Young, and the last guys' name escapes me still (I'm sure Fish has it in his link)...and it was in 07.

The story got explained as a potential serial killer was targeting Black gays. 

91

This story along with the Kumar story from yesterday

oh, I'm waiting to see how this rolls

i'm guessing another liberal who gets mugged...turns conservative   hehe

92

71  Could be, or it could be just a situation where Gino was definitely breaking the law, and the only reason this is going to receive some national attention is due to his senate run -- which makes me wonder why the machine here let the guy go for it in the first place, because this bank deal was not an unknown thing.

Don't be suprised if Gino wasn't allowed to run for a reason...remember who he's bff with. 

93

87 yeah thats some scary stuff, my wife is a diabetic ,type 2. I am constantly after her to check her blood, its a insideous disease. Was never a fan Poison, they were the ultimate posers but I wish him well. Been watching him on Apprentice, he seems like a decent guy.

 

 

94 94  Ah, nothing's going to come of the story about those 3 dudes -- it's ancient history (although, it would be fun if some investigative reporter started digging to be sure; I'd even suggest checking out dear old Fr. Pfleger as well, might find something interesting).

95

Brings me back to Studs Terkel's line about Chicago:  "Chicago's not the most corrupt city in America; it's the most theatrically corrupt." 

Alexi gets a boost from this--it's over with early in the election cycle and the media will be drawn to the Blago train wreck, until October when they uncover/make up shit about Mark Kirk.

96

Fr. Pfleger

now there's a man with a personality disorder/identity crisis

97 99 That's the least of his disorders.

98 somebody actually wrote: "Whoa!  Judge Nappy just told Cavuto that this would be a calamity for Brewer and AZ and that Hispanic voters would flee the GOP in droves."

"Flee the GOP in droves"???  Are you insane?? These illegals are never going to vote GOP... Never!!! Why should we even contemplate catering to them?

Fuck'em! You're in this country illegally? Goodbye! And by the way, we don't need your vote........because we were never counting on it in any event.

99 Extra, extra! Read all about it! Just some of the "questionable characters" Broadway Bank awarded with 20+ million buck loans: Michael "Jaws" Giorango (Felon-Illinois)- multistate bookmaking ring. His collection methods were said to include, but not limited to, "threats" of bombings, beatings and robbery. In 2004, Giorango was busted again, this time for promoting a nationwide prostitution ring through the Lorraine Hotel he co-owns in Miami, Florida. Other Florida property/Lorraine "investors?" Why that would be former Illinois State Senator John DÂ’Arco Jr., twice convicted of federal corruption charges, and Demitri Stavropoulos - felon, multi-state prostitution and bookmaking Tony Rezko is another loan winner. Old Tony got at least 1/2 a million for? Who knows? And then how about those Russians? Hey, hey - maybe Little Dick Durbin gets charged & brought down too, due to his oh so noble and crooked Illinois connections and dealings. That Dick deserves every disgrace heaped on his pointed little head. Oh - John D'Arco Senior was a real peach too. Yeah, this story has real wings. Fly little story, fly.

100 I'd bet money that right now the dems in IL are watching the polls carefully.  If they think this race is heading for the loss column, they will tie Alexi up and toss him under the nearest bus.  Then they will replace him with Susan Garrett, a liberal dem state senator from the north shore suburbs of Chicago. 

101 This means Alexi steps aside and the slithering greasy snake that is AG Lisa Madigan joins the race. Daughter of teh Illinois Senate Leader Michael Madigan (C-orrupocrat)

102 hey! unfair to blame quickbooks. I use quickbooks and I was able to hand in all the stuff to my accountant on time and in an orderly fashion. Don't blame QB. I makes me angry. :-(

103

One of the stranger aspects of this story is how Rezko also ended up on criminal charges in Vegas.  He stiffed Caesar's Palace, Bally's and the Bellagio for over $800,000 by writing rubber checks on his accounts at the Broadway Bank to pay off his markers.
