Pugs are gleeful at his misfortune.

They're thinking about who they can run for Jackson's seat - maybe they can drag Alan "Kooky " Keyes out of retirement?

Imagine their hard sell though, trying to talk and already-burned millionaire into bankrolling their candidate after ponying up $100K for Romney

That he had to resign is the best evidence of America's decline.

The m'fkr hadn't shown up for work since May [check], he stole 40 grand from his constituents donations [check] to fix up his crib and buy his squeeze a Rolex [check] yet he won relection with 68% of the vote [check].

We're screwed.....any other questions?

America is in decline because some sick dude drew a paycheck before resigning?

The republic has withstood many such affronts in her history. Calm down.

:lol:

America has had a long history of corrupt politicians and gotten over them all. What upsets you so about this guy? His being a "librul"?

It's probably a 'triple whammy' for Boca: he's liberal, he's black, and he's the son of Jesse Jackson. That's three strikes against him, right there.
