Last week disgraced former Illinois Governor Rod
Blagojevich, who was impeached, removed from office, convicted, and
incarcerated for eight years on federal charges of public corruption and who,
after leaving prison, filed a lawsuit challenging the state resolution
prohibiting him from running for any state or local office in Illinois was taken
to task by the judge in his case.
In dismissing Blagojevich’s 2021 suit, U.S. District Judge
Steven Seeger accused the former governor of using the federal courthouse as a
megaphone in an attempt to get back in the political game following
the commutation of his 14-year prison sentence by the former president, a
criminal himself.
Seeger quoted from Dr. Seuss’ 1972 book “Marvin K. Mooney
Will You Please Go Now!” when he said:
“The time has come. The time is now. Just Go. Go. GO! I
don’t care how. You can go by foot. You can go by cow. Marvin K. Mooney, will
you please go now!”
Blago got Seuss’d! |
Perfect! Now if someone would just tell the same to the former president... ;)

ReplyDeleteDidn't he get a pardon from Don Poorleone? Blago is despised in Illinois.
XOXO
I wouldn't have said please; my answer would have been scatological.
ReplyDeleteI saw that and was surprised that Blagoavich was still trying to be even remotely relevant.
ReplyDeleteI missed this bit of news, but THIS was a perfect way to hear about it and especially,the judge's great put-down! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be wonderful if one (or more) of IQ45's cases ended the same way!
ReplyDeleteJeez! Why can't they all just say the same to you-know-who?
ReplyDeleteLOL. He got Seussed. I love that!
ReplyDeleteI love a literate judge.
ReplyDeleteOf his time at the Pepperdine University School of Law in 1983, Blagojevich said: "I went to law school at a place called Pepperdine in Malibu, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean — a lot of surfing and movie stars and all the rest. I barely knew where the law library was." And yet this ignorant, loud-mouthed scumbag became The Governor of Illinois!
