Manchin finally gets off his ass and appoints Byrd's replacement

Jesus this sumbitch has pissed me off...self-serving asshole that he is. From the dipshit's at Politico:

Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin is choosing his former chief counsel, Carte Goodwin, to be the next senator from West Virginia, POLITICO has learned.

Manchin has scheduled a 2 p.m. news conference Friday to announce the appointment of Goodwin to succeed the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) until a special election is held later this year, according to two sources familiar with his decision. A spokeswoman for the governor did not immediately return a request for comment.

Manchin has said he is “highly” interested in running for the Senate seat, and Goodwin, who is from a well-connected family in West Virginia Democratic circles, is not expected to run in the special election to fill the remaining two years of Byrd’s term. State lawmakers are meeting in special session to determine when the special election will be held. There will be an election for a full term in November 2012.

I haven't researched Carte Goodwin...so..We can only hope this guy isn't a full-fledged Blue Dog... We have enough of those fuckers...take Ben Nelson for a long walk on a very short pier...anyone! Please!

Kwame is pissin' down both legs...

He gets hauled off to jail for his transgression's whilst on probation and then...bam...the federal indictment kicks his well-fed ass!

Remember folks...he is a Democrat. The party affiliation matters not...all politicians are corrupt one way or another.

I can only count on one-fucking-hand the number of politicians I trust anymore. Makes me sick.

Mayor Kenneth Edwards busted stealing political lawn signs.

Bear in mind Mayor Kenneth Edwards states he did nothing wrong by removing the sign from someone else's yard. From 5News:

Greenwood mayor accused of stealing campaign signs

5NEWS obtained the incident report filed by Greenwood police. In the report, the officer describes how someone driving behind a Toyota pickup claimed he saw that truck pull up to a house at Ware Road and Highway 10. The witness told officers the passenger got out and grabbed something next to the carport. The item in question was reportedly a "Vote no to extend the city sales tax" Sign.

The officer stopped the truck that had no license plate and he says that's when he realized the passenger was Greenwood Mayor Ken Edwards. The officer called the police department to get instructions on what to do next since the mayor was involved.

The Sebastian County Sheriff's Department was called in and the driver, Gordon Griffith, also of Greenwood, was given a field sobriety test, which he passed. Both men were released.

Someone in the comments actually calls the Mayor a terrorist for his actions..LMAO! Both the Mayor and the commenter are idiots and obviously wingtards of the highest order.
