The "movie" is getting wackier by the minute. I mean when I jokingly suggest he is using the "Drew Peterson strategy" and then a few weeks he HIRES the same PR firm that Peterson has???

The "blow up" between Blago and the Sam Adams Jr / Sr team and Genson is right out out of OJ's "team" of F. Lee Bailey vs Johnie Cochran.

He is clearly making his case to the potential jury pool, which is largely doofus types that sit in front of the TV sets all day...

I never watch the View, but i put in on this morning hoping to see Elizabeth question him.... too bad she was not on... I turned it on half what thru Barbara interviewing him. Would have loved to catch the whole thing though... as i did hear her say, [something to the effect of... ]

I hope you come back and answer my questions when you can

I'm assuming all the "tough" questions she asked, he said he couldnt answer due to the investigation.

Hopefully i can catch the full interview on teh internet somewhere...

oh and the way the other 3 ladies [whoopie included] schmoozed him. like they actually believed him that he was not able to defend himself. ** rolls eyes **

OH -- did catch a lil snipped on the news last night where he actually compared himself with Ghandi, ML King and a few others.... Oh please....

Pretty much what he told Diane Sawyer this morning: "I can't go into detail but I'd love to defend myself" sort of thing. Oprah as Senator. Wants to call Rahm Emanuel to testify. Wants the Dhali Lama to change his bedsheets sort of thing. Flippin crazy.

He reminds me of Alan Keyes: "We'll talk about that at the appropriate time." That time never arrived.

I read a lot of emotion here but no facts. Anyone here have any proof to substantiate claims that this Gov did wrong?

The TAPES !

This is incredible, I mean while there have been speculation for DECADES that the enormous campaign war chests of Illinois politicians is built up because it is all "shake down money" to get legislation done, the TAPES are irrefutable! Blagojevich was RECORDED talking to his former roommate / advisor / co-conspirator LON MONK strategizing about how long to wait before signing legislation for the racing industry AFTER hitting up John Johnston of Balmoral Park race track for 'donations'. Blagojevich Caught on Tape - Washington Post Investigations

There are similar recordings of him doing the same thing with the President of Children's Memorial Hospital. Industry News | Healthcare Finance News

And of course the Senate seat formerly held by the current President and now seating the joke/hack/ego maniac Roland Burris.
"I've got this thing and it's f---ing golden" | Salon News


This is THE CLEAREST CASE of "pay to play" ever!!!

It is disgusting that anyone would even try to defend the brazen racketeering that the Blagovejich has obviously been caught RED HEADED!

Conspiracy takes two plotters and a move in the direction of illegality, according to the law. Fitzgerald has not shown that yet.

Rod, crazy as a loon, is guilty of no crime. Yet.
