Re: Blago in La-La-Land

hey! I'll have you know that under Blago that child had the same rights to health insurance no matter where he was born in Illinois.

Shame he couldn't get treated at childrensmemorial chicago - cos Blago was holding out for 50 grand kickback before giving them a massive grant!

he's not in prison. yet.

but that doesn't mean we the citizens have to suspend our assessment of him as a first class a-hole. we all know exactly what he said on those surveillance tapes.

Re: Blago in La-La-Land

Perhaps (in a more subtle fashion), it actually goes a bit like this...

"Guilty until proven innocent" (suspicion's only good use)

I suppose the "Windy City" might become more 'blustery' in these forthcoming quarters, due to this outcome. :X

Re: Blago in La-La-Land

seriously out there

this guy is denying things they have video tape of saying

"it was my evil twin" -- thats the only thing that could justifiably get him off.

Ill. gov tells AP that strain is like Pearl Harbor

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090123/ap_on_re_us/illinois_governor

"Dec. 9 to my family, to us, to me, is what Pearl Harbor Day was to the United States," Gov. Rod Blagojevich told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday. "It was a complete surprise, completely unexpected. And just like the United States prevailed in that, we'll prevail in this."

this guy is completely mentally unhinged! I mean like the nutty laughter and hearing voices in his head certifiably insane... he should be in a psychiatric ward somewhere under heavy medication, kept away from sharp objects, etc. Could he have even picked a set of words to say publicly that would have made him sound like an even bigger asshole? I didn't think it was possible anymore, even for him.

How about: "What happened to me, it's worse than what happened to America on 9-11."

Re: Blago in La-La-Land

he is either fucked up in the head or he has something on Obama that gives him this confidence.

Re: Blago in La-La-Land

Meanwhile, Gov. Rod Blagojevich's lead attorney said Friday that he plans to resign from the impeached governor's criminal case.

"I have practiced law for 44 years. I never require a client to do what I say, but I do require clients to listen to what I say," Ed Genson told reporters. "I intend to withdraw as counsel in this case."

Genson is one of Chicago's best known lawyers whose clients include R&B star R. Kelly and Canadian-born press lord Conrad Black.

To be official, his resignation as Blagojevich's attorney must take place in court. When asked when he planned to do so, Genson smiled and left.

Re: Blago in La-La-Land

I have gone through three phases with Blago...

from, holy crap way to abuse your power! goodbye career...

to wow, what a lying asshole! we have you on tape dude!!! give it up!!...

to currently being kind of impressed at his blatant disregard for logic, law and...well, everything. in a sick way i'm kinda routing for the guy in that 'seinfeld episode kramer test driving and running the saab as far as it will go out of gas' way. see how far you can take this thing fella!!

Re: Blago in La-La-Land

Looks like he's begun a media tour to plead his case. We can look forward to more gems like this:

As he was taken from his home by federal agents on Dec. 9, Blagojevich told NBC, "I thought about Mandela, Dr. King and Gandhi and tried to put some perspective to all this and that is what I am doing now."

Re: Blago in La-La-Land

aaaand there he goes! 59-0!

first he runs away from his own trial and spends the week telling chicks on The View how corrupt and unfair the court is...then he shows up on the last day and says he's appealing to their "sense of fairness." what a moron.

next stop: psychiatric ward.
