Alexi Giannoulias pouting about the Broadway Bank thing.

A couple observations about embattled Senatorial candidate Alexi Giannoulias’ (D CAND, IL-SEN) recent bitter comment:

“Just about every sentence that Congressman Kirk utters these days is a noun, a verb and Broadway Bank,” Giannoulias complained to the City Club of Chicago,

Three, in fact:

  1. Dude. Ripping off Joe Biden*? What are you going to do next, ask a paralyzed man to stand up and take a bow?
  2. If you don’t want to be associated with a now-closed bank that gave $20 million loans to convicted pimps and bookies, don’t work for one.
  3. You couldn’t shut up about your blessed family bank connection & experience in your last election, remember?

Isn’t YouTube fun? If there’s an unfortunate / ironic / awkward campaign commercial that’s not on there, somewhere, it’s not for lack of people trying.

PS: Mark Kirk for Senate. Noun. Verb. Broadway Bank.

*I would like to note for the record that Katie Levinson still has a better chance of becoming President than Joe Biden does.

    Obama will be speechifying in Quincy (IL) this coming week. Thus far Obama has issued no invitation to Alexi to join him there. Alexi is on record saying Alexi can’t be expected to have time in his schedule to drop everything and go to Quincy.

    Now *that’s* transparent.

    Reminds me of Obama not caring to have a certain then-sitting governor of Illinois present at his presidential campaign stop.
