you guys have not seen anything yet.. blago and this census thing is just the tip of the iceberg..

if you knew anything about chicago politics and the redistricting shenanigans that go on there.. you would not be excited about rahm getting this gig.

welcome to the Chicago States of America..

I love ya.. but you're naive.

Oh sit down!!!

Another fake problem from the GOP.

That's right, BHO Smooth! Keep 'em on the defensive! They say the punch that knocks you out is the one you never saw coming!

Oh, just what we need......another Sarah Palin.

This woman should go back to school and learn some American history and simple civics. The president can and he did, thee only hearing that is needed is the Iraq wmd's lies that its consequenses were more than 4000 innocent American lives and over 150,000 Iraqis. If the tables were turned around the democrats would be crying now, but in the name of unity they are not following the bush thugs of war.

[RoloTomassi]

Of course this is really all about potential redistricting efforts; god forbid that the democrats indulge in the practice that the republicans started and continue to use at every opportunity--that just wouldn't be right.

lez? femmebot? Sounds like you guys have been "pallin' around with rush! Stop with the sexist comments and get your antiquated heads out of your asses! Oh by the way, my dtr is a gay woman, she is also a heart surgeon and saves lives every day. What do you do for the common good!? Other than that, this woman of whom we speak, is a doofus!

[OMG1109]

Did she ever once question BUSH administration on Iraq, WMD's, torture, the first 700 billion dollar bailout, please, just another Republican that needs to either get the priorities correct or resign ......

[2bad]

Unfortunately for me, I live in her district! She's one of the main Sheep-Herders here in Tennessee. What can I do except vote against her and hope others will see her for what she is.

You! Blondie! Sit down and shut up.

Can Rep. Blackburn focus on fixing the economy and the wars we are facing now? instead of trying to distract people from counting the unemployments

[TruEngineHearing]

This low-info bully should focus on cleaning up Memphis - a horrific crime scene of a city. The residents of her state need someone whose interest is beyond right-wing superstition and myth.

If the asshat fits, well...

that poor woman continues to make a fo*ol of herself on television

Sorry you are in the white hood coalition you have no right to question anything - so go back home put on your hood and shut your hate filled mouth. You idiots lied and manipulated the last census to meet your political agenda - just as you have every single department in government which will take decades to reverse assuming we ever recover from what you white hoods have done to the economy.

[youknowwhat]

Here we go, she'll be wanting to start impeachment hearings next week.
