there is also creepy illinois politician jack ryan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ryan_(Senate_candidate)
Jack Ryan (born circa 1960) is a Republican from the state of Illinois who was forced to withdraw from the 2004 United States Senate race due to an alleged sex scandal involving his relationship with his ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan. [1][2] His eventual replacement Alan Keyes would go on to lose the general election to Barack Obama, who would eventually be elected President Of The United States on November 4, 2008.

YES. I remember Jeri Ryan. I also remember Alan Keyes. (How could one forget?)
Illinois is neat.

the star trek chick? weird. what was the scandal?
― some know what you dude last summer (Jordan), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:20 (fifteen years ago) link
In those files, Jeri Ryan alleged that Jack Ryan had taken her to sex clubs in several cities, intending for them to have sex in public.[1
oh come on, that's no big deal.
― some know what you dude last summer (Jordan), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Probably a bigger deal if you are going to run for office as a Republican in 2004 when it was all about the moral majority, family values, etc.

What's up with the governor's hair? He looks like Anton Chiguhr in "No Country for Old Men".

isn't Alan Keyes still trying to keep O out of the White House til he "proves" his citizenship?

Authentic LOLs @ nick and John.
There are a bunch of crazy right wingers debating the finer distinctions between a "birth certificate" and a "certification of live birth." I was unaware that Alan Keyes was involved, yet I am not surprised that he would be. That guy is a Class A Loon.

His attorney, Sheldon Sorosky, said afterward that Blagojevich "is very surprised and certainly feels that he did not do anything wrong."
Exactly how is this guy going to explain away the recordings in court?

xp - http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/12/09/ratner_blagojevich/ about how the Feds overreached their authority in 1) wiretapping and 2) investigating. I'll give them credit for sticking to their talking points even though the target of the investigation is a Democrat.

Pub quiz was kind of hard tonight. Round 2 definitely wasn't a Simpsons-related holiday round. We would have benefited from someone who was raised devout Catholic, knew obscure 80s one hit wonder artists, and who recognized both a former NFL commissioner and the guy who played Lt. Worf on Star Trek TNG (among other tidbits).

Guys btw here is the Trio video I was talking about tonight:

Horseshoe, we are rewatching the series and are about in the same place - one episode ahead, and the next one is a DOOZY. Did u you: Hot Dog is Edward James Olmos's son in real life.
