"I depart, but my stain shall always remain"
Rod Blagojevich ranted live on-air for several hours in an attempt to reach the last few people in Illinois to let them know just how innocent he is.
A couple in Orland Park who had been hiding out in a bomb shelter since the end of the Cold War, finally decided it was safe to come above ground. Hearing Blago on the radio, the Orland Park couple has been quoted as saying, “This Rod Blagnovic guy seems like a stand-up citizen. He really needs to run for public office.”
Greg Hinz details the self-serving rant, and how much more bearable it it coming from a radio host, that from a governor.
And Blago still thinks he’s a politician. It’s sad really.
Which Way's Up? Politics Blago, Corruption, Politics, ridiculous
Just as you thought the much too real look at the corrupt sausage factory we call Illinois Politics had come to a slimy disgraceful conclusion, the thing from the swamp has reared its ugly head one more time.
Now comes word that Sen. Burris, who was appointed by the well passed disgraced Blagojevich, had tried (unsuccessfully) to raise money for Blago, who in turn found a nice government job for Burris’ son. Which leads me to ask this: What was the political gain for Blago to appoint anyone to the Senate? Isn’t it just dragging out the disgrace and thus keeping his tarnished name in the papers? Won’t this simply taint the jury poll against him? Is that what he’s banking on, a ruling that he is incapable of getting a fair trial in Illinois?
My money’s on insane megalomaniac.
