   i am not defending blago, but i think he is getting a raw deal, since there were other parties involved in his attempt to sell a senate seat. i feel all parties involved should be sharing his cell with him. jessie jackson jr has already won one election, and going into his second, and the house has not yet slapped his wrist. and nobody from the swill camp, rahm or whoever, is not even mentioned as baing a part of this.
   i am also not even glad he was impeached, since the clown who replaced him seems even worse then the “hair” was.

    Well, you should have thought about that before you acted in your own selfish interests and not in the interests of your family. Your actions have consequences, and you are responsible for the welfare of your entire household.

    “Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”

    Did anyone else see that the Obama administration has listed the Fort Hood terroist attack as a “workplace violence” issue not a terrorist attack?:

    Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday blasted the Defense Department for classifying the Fort Hood massacre as workplace violence and suggested political correctness is being placed above the security of the nation’s Armed Forces at home.

    During a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, the Maine Republican referenced a letter from the Defense Department depicting the Fort Hood shootings as workplace violence. She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam.

    Notice how Blago shouted from the rooftop that he was innocent, played reporters as fools, used his trust of citizens to parlay his lies, threw subordinates under the bus and generally refused to cooperate to get to the bottom of the scandal. Now when sentencing comes, he takes full responsibility and cries for mercy.

    He still has not come clean. How can you have mercy? Mercy comes when you help the prosecution get to the real truth of the story. You tell on everyone who was remotely involved and testify against them.

    Then they come clean and you find out what really happened. Then you can properly identify the criminals, sentence them with mercy and send a message that this behavior is not condoned in a civilized society.

    You break the law, you pay a price for that but you can get mercy if you help the investigation instead of hinder it.

    And he still has appeals. Notice the continued parsing of the words. He didn’t really accept responsibility. The “I should have known better” is a parsing excuse for “I didn’t do anything wrong other than not being smart enough to realize what was going on.”

    If it’s easy to sneak into this country as an illegal alien, it might be just as easy to sneak out of the country or disappear within it. 14 years gives incentive to disappear. Just call up Jimmy Hoffa and ask for advice.

    Remember he did not squeal on anyone yet. He has benefactors who will reward him for his silence. Of course, those same benfactors probably want him dead so they don’t have to continue paying and risk his squealing later. Vince Foster comes to mind.

    On a related idea, Blago has already paid for his pardon. Rezko will need to donate to the upcoming Obama Mosque and shrine to Marx — his presidential library. I will put it to you that Slick Willie’s sale of pardons will be dwarfed by Nobama. Chicago crooks alone will pay for the hammered gold for the dome. He could in advance pardon charges against Holder and all his minions at the top of supposed “law enforcement” in this country. Jesse Junior might be good for several million. This doesn’t even encompass all the investors who kicked back for government loans. Holder was in charge of this for Billy Boy. Who will do all the typing for the January ’13 Pardon avalanche? Perhaps a new Czar will be illegally appointed without Senate ratification?

    Imagine the Internet ads with Michelle appealing for Library funding for her demonstration Garden to surround the 40 foot statue of the Lord Obama, floodlit 24 hours/day. Perhaps some of the parkland on the Chicago waterfront near the museums and aquarium will be confiscated by eminent domain as the site for His Magnificence? Hear the recorded muezzin sing from the tops of the slender towers at all four corners of the Mosque’s high walls . . .

    Give Blago clemency if he rolls over on Obama and Rahmbo.

    I think Blago will serve a year or less in prison. Pres Obama will probably give him a pardon on his way out.

    If only to buy his silence… really. It’s either that or have him shanked in prison.

    A good first step. Next is Jesse Jr, and after that, the Obama Machine.

    Boggs: Hey, anybody come at you yet? Anybody get to you yet?
    [Rod looks at him in puzzlement]
    Boggs: Hey, we all need friends in here. I could be a friend to you.
    [Rod walks away]
    Boggs: Hey… Hard to get. I like that…

    Red: [narrating] The first night’s the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half blind from that delousing sh!t they throw on you, and when they put you in that cell… and those bars slam home… that’s when you know it’s for real. A whole life blown away in the blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it.

    Red: [narrating] I wish I could tell you that Rod fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that – but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile – prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Rod would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him – sometimes he was able to fight ‘em off, sometimes not. And that’s how it went for Rod – that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.

    At a ultra leftist website, of course, one of the first comments I came across was “Meanwhile, torturers and war criminals are still walking free.”

    Really? They actually mentioned Obama and his Cabinet?

    Sorry, couldn’t resist.
