So after weeks of newspaper reports pointing out ethical challenges, a Republican Congressman who married into an allegedly dastardly family and has been conducting questionable land deals in foreign countries (while simultaneously advocating legislation which may benefit his land deals) announces he’s going to retire.
Forget about the fact that Republican incumbent is on CREW’s list of the most corrupt Congressmen.
Fran Eaton instead goes back to her bag of crapola tricks to again reference porn in criticizing one of the possible candidates to replace the retiring Congressman with a post called “Will Debbie do the 11th CD?” in a reference to Dem State Sen. Debbie Halvorson and the retirement of Repub Congressman Jerry Weller, whose home is now in Guatemala with his family.
Notoriously irrational con partisan Jill Stanek (who has yet to meet a common sense posting that she won’t try to delete) started the idiocy some months back with a series of blogposts questioning State Senator Halvorson’s sexual history and Ms. Eaton gleefully defended her friend and fellow Illinois Review contributor by saying the entire Ill Review blog “proudly” stood against a vaccine which helps prevent cervical cancer. In essence, the perky pair were happy to reference porn if it got them the same attention it got Howard Stern (and for a few days it did).
I’m not even going to bother linking to Ms. Eaton’s latest junior high-level myopic ad hominem about Sen. Halvorson. It’s not worth cloggin’ those Internets. But here’s a sample of Ms. Eaton’s fantasizing:
The old girls [of progressive organization EMILY's List] are now simply tingly about the thought of Debbie in the 11th CD.
If Sen. Halvorson runs in the 11th, the collar counties of Will, Grundy and Kankakee will be exposed to intense, provocative political action they’ve probably never seen before.
And we thought it couldn’t get any more exciting in Illinois . . .whew. Got a cigarette?
Normal folks panned their BS. Yet, Ms. Eaton just can’t seem to let a stupid idea go. And, her attempts at erotic locutions don’t hold a candle to those of her fellow conservatives Scooter Libby and Second Lady Lynne Cheney.
And these conservative ne’er-do-wells wonder why they don’t get taken seriously in Illinois….
“Tingly?”

Right on. That crazy attack on Debbie was disgusting.
These conservative women seem to have a big problem with other women. And how about how they still aid and abet that goon Tony Peraica’s assault on one of their own, Liz Gorman in Cook County? There are some serious mental issues going on here.
And what’s the deal with Illinois Review’s obsession with trying to close the Aurora Planned Parenthood facility, but yet they continue to rally around their friend, that goon Peraica who said during his campaign last year that he wouldn’t lift a finger to stop abortions at Cook Co. hospital if he became Cook Co. President?
Obviously advertising revenue is more important than having any consistent principles for these rightwingers.

More than just ad revenue. Fundraising revenue through groups like those attacking the Aurora women’s clinic and the “United republican Fund” (of which Illinois Review is pretty much a front group for URF considering the publisher, editor and several contributors are also involved in the higher-levels of URF and as such they do a fair amount of promotion for URF on Illinois Review … Say, wasn’t someone just filing claims with the FEC about bloggers and political committees?)
