Why are you even running for office, Alexi

And when were you going to tell us about the subpoena. Oh, but you want to be our new Illinois Senator. What gall. Chicago Mob Linked Giannoulias: I was subpoenaed for Blago trial

They all met in Desiree's ex-husband's office.

Alexi didn't gatecrash, he was just there to make introductions. A kind of etiquette czar. Chicago Style. Remember, though, Alexi was not a close, personal friend of Blago. He just called him on the phone about the Senate seat. And has trouble keeping his story straight.

Gee, why did they need SEIU's Balanoff to talk to Valerie in Desiree's husband's office in Chicago.

Why not have Barack invite Valerie into the Oval office when he was talking to SEIU's Andy Stern, the most frequent visitor to the White House in this administration. Just for a friendly little chat.

Smell a rat.

..."They're trying to subpoena everyone from the president of the United States to the dog catcher," Giannoulias said. "The circus is just continuing."

Alexi Giannoulias. I wouldn't even vote for him for dogcatcher.
