   Like he said, play all the tapes. I bet there is some interesting stuff on there. But of course, the jowhorenalists of the MSM wouldn’t be interested in anything like that.

   Don’t worry people. He just assured us that if he felt he had done anything wrong, he would have resigned voluntarily.

   So I really don’t see what the fuss is about.

   I listening to the opening in my car, while I was going to get lunch. It was like a bad “American Idol” audition, wherein the tone deaf non-singer begs for a second chance to prove they have talent.

   Uncomfortable, incoherent, and just plain bizzare.

   Bye, bye, Blago. DLTDHYOTWO…

    Well….

    I’m convinced. Dude is innocent. He did so much for the children. But he still has so much to give.

    Also, he seemed to rely heavily on the very convincing argument that if you impeach one corrupt governor, other states may be emboldened to impeach their corrupt governors.

    And we can’t have that.

    This whole Blago run for the media tour has ONE intention.
    To keep his butt out of jail.

    It’s a warning to Obama.
    It’s a long winded threat to Obama and Rahm and company to come to his rescue OR ELSE… he WILL tell all.
    Why do you think he keeps bringing up Jarrett, Rahm-bo, Jesse Jackson Jr., etc. so loudly and on national TV?
    They’re all as guilty as Blago is, but no one wants to testify and none of them will turn on Obama.

    This is Blago’s get or ‘stay out of jail free’ play….and it will probably work.

    Soliciting a bribe is generally treated the same as actually receiving a bribe–for example, if you offer a police officer money to let you go, you don’t actually have to pay him before you can be hit with a bribery charge.

    Essentially that’s what he did. He was dropping names of people he felt were also guilty. He only implied that the Illinois senators were on his list, but that did seem to be the theme of his message.

    He also seemed to be listing the individuals he’ll attempt to call for the criminal case, including President Obama and Rahm Emmanuel.

    I was looking to see if any of the senators were eating popcorn.

    Interesting how Blago decided to show up and “speak on his own behalf” after he learned from Glenn Beck that Obama added language in the stimulus package to deny Illinois any money if they kept Blago as Governor. To me it was his itty bitty attempt to get back at Obama and Emmanuel. I wish they’d all be thrown out.

    I don’t know who suprises me most, Blago or Obama for putting such small petty language into such an important piece of legislation. Jeeze, it’s going to be a long 4 years.

    I will miss him when he is gone. I think the Right should back this guy up, not push for his dismissal. It is so much fun to watch the Libs attack each other (and what a rare phenomenon that is). To be realistic here, Blago has done NOTHING wrong in Far-Lefgt Lib world, especially in Chicago. Does anyone really think that the next Gov. of Il. is going to be more saintly? He, more than likely, has pissed of the “Annointed One” and is being rail-roaded out of there. Truly a shame. He is pure entertainment and it is wonderful to see the Democrats shake in their boots a bit over this problem (and they ARE shaking in their boots which is evident by their desire to so quickly rid them of this one time insider). I believe one of the reasons Blago has been on the media circuit so much in the last couple of weeks is to show that he is not some certifiably crazy and possibly depressed man (something the media started to premote when this scandal first hit) so that if he ends up dead it won’t seem like suicide (an accident, maybe, but suicide, no). Remember, he is coming from Chicago.
