Fed up HOPEFULLY the only qoute( now word on the street) coming from Hendon will be him lying infront of TV cameras saying "I'm not guilty" despite of a mountain of rock solid federal criminal evidence. And no its not like relatives, because you can't choose relatives, Obama choose these friends when he didn't have too. Heck maybe he could have been a Senator for a while longer and actually built a real grassroots movement like Paul Welstone was doing. He could have taken on Daley. Funny how Emile Jones is getting a Chicagoist pass on this one because its related to Obama. Yup Gooo Gooo Liberals

Spook, I think emil jones shucks and jives on the stroger plantation which is leased from the daley clan. Hopefully their will be a few Ricky Hendon qoutes coming from Denver, that man knows how to turn a phrase. I wonder if Obama is embarresed by his friends from Crook Co.. Kinda like the relatives you dont talk about.

@smussy: Why? Because they're politicos used to getting their way who are easily frustrated. I love Evil's response about "doubting thomas". Just watch the right wing hate machine make this a big story. Again, putzes.

"that's when I said some bad things to him" Like what exactly? good god children, if you can't say anything nice then shut the hell up. You're supposed to be on the same side.

Can't black people use racial slurs? Isn't that the rule? It isn't like me calling Clarence Thomas or Colin Powell an "uncle tom". Because that would be insulting.

to the post -- the uncle tom thing is so out of control ... i can't imagine how or why someone would call someone else that, but i also am not in that culture/race, so i'm a little bit of an outsider there. i'm sure there's a lot of levels of stuff going on there that i can't really grasp. needless to say, i think it's for shit. @ albanyparkour: i don't think i've had the presence to remember what "drinking the kool-aid" really refers to. i know it always gets the hairs on my neck to stand up, but ... yeah. nice catch.

NOW is calling for Jones to resign IMMEDIATELY. http://www.suntimes.com/news/elections/dnc/1125006,emilupdate082508.article Oh noes! Will Threemil have to stand on his own? Frankly, I think this woman and Emil both sound like putzes who insulted each other. Yay! Democratic Unity! Yay!

Did everyone miss the part where she compared the people at the Obama rally to the mass suicide at Jonestown? Sounds like Delmarie is very selective in what she finds offensive.
