QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:47 AM) I would never in a bajillion years go on that show. I would, if A. It was my ex-wife hooked up and B. I had a gun and a terminal illness /just sayin'

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:45 AM) He probably didn't want to dish out all that money at one time. sarcasm>>>> But she didn't give him what he needed at home

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:35 AM) I don't have to play it to know what it is. Sometimes I think a man has stand on his own. /joking It would have been better if the hookers were there

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:01 AM) He resigned with his loving wife by his side. I think the man should have stood there himself and not put his poor wife through any more humiliation. Even if it was totally her choice to be there, he should not have let her. And the same goes for any one who has used their wife as crutch when facing a scandal ... from either party.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:11 AM) He's now an unpaid, unofficial adviser to the McCain campaign. image rehab, nice.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 09:10 AM) You've always been jealous of my vintage Tiger Beat collection. Pathetic. 'cuz I saw it first and had dibs you moron

QUOTE(Reddy @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 10:59 AM) i cannot believe there are still people in this country that would applaud for Karl Rove. it's disgusting. I wish he worked for a candidate I liked. He will be regarded as one of the most brilliant political minds of this generation. He just, IMHO, used his powers for evil.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 10:13 AM) What do the Spitzers and former NJ Gov. McGreevey and his wife have in common? (Other than the obvious scandal): See: Wearables awesome thanks for posting

Every player who does not live up to potential "screws up the Sox".

Hate to see anyone injured. I hope he gets back quickly. I wish he would come back and post while he's doing nothing.

^^^^^ what he said

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 02:20 AM) Is it just me, or did Peter Gabriel circa 1971 look just damn like Kelly Leek from the Bad News Bears? For those of you wondering, Jim was just laying in bed, studying the posters on his ceiling . . . grow up old man . . .

Amazing how much hatred and misinformation there is for the south around here. You guys are so full of b.s. it isn't funny.

For those of you thinking that Gov. Spitzer's undercover investigation was perhaps the greatest ever undertaken by an elected official or celebrity, I remind you of this specially deputized undercover narcotics agent and the President®* who made it possible. * just for Alpha

I think it is a style issue that each newspaper should decide. If you are writing a story in Chicago about Daley, do you need the (D)? That gets redundant. Personally, if it is just for identification, I wish they would never mention it. How many people waited to see what party he was from before deciding how they would react? I just don't see editors sitting around making changes based on which party it is.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 09:28 PM) They are the only ones who can spend $50,000,000 for a job that pays $100,000. It's only $50 mil because the printers are getting rich

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 09:30 PM) God no, I want no part of that contract, it's hideous! It will look like a bargain in two years, just like Maggs.

How about a Crede for Rowand trade

We do like electing millionaires.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 10, 2008 -> 11:05 PM) OK,. check this out. ABC has a slide show of 13 political sex scandals. Guess how many of them who are Dems actually are named as Dems? And then guess how many who are Repubs are named as repubs? No cheating, guess before you look. If I counted right, they picked 5 Dems and 7 Repubs. How many of each were named as such? http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Blotter/pop...x=1&page=13 And for all those liberal who claim that there is no bias, the old media can put a stop to this any time they want by instituting a style guideline, that says something like a politician's party affiliation must be mentioned inthe first paragraph or when their name is first mentioned. But they don't, so they can just move that little D or R around to wherever it seems to fit best for them in the story, paragraph 1 or 15. So in your opinion the media should look at party affiliation and make certain that each party is mentioned equally? Clintion would have loved that during the Monica reporting.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) I think it is HIGHLY unfortunate that the deep south is still so racist. It's staggering the Black/White divide in the south. I am glad to see Obama win these mostly white states, but it kinda hurts to see him win these southern states with such a divide. Just goes to show that after nearly 143 years, there is still such rampid if not secret racism. I saw way more racism in Chicago than I do in Texas. Boston is in a class(less) by themselves.

They have to get to work, shop, take the kids to baseball practice, and hookers have to drive to the Mayflower to meet the Governor . . . If I was living in an area that was paying $.60 more per gallon than other areas of the country, I'd be pushing for a temporary reduction in the taxes.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 12:33 PM) Ummm, but we are all posters on a message board, and that is it. Mariotti is a professional journalist for one of the two biggest papers in Chicago. Objectivity should be a part of his job. Nope, he writes an opinion piece, not a news article.
