I was also grinning when he did his talk. This is the gift that keeps on giving.

If I was Blago I would not ride that State airplane to Springfield either. Airplanes can fall out of the sky with little or no warning and with little or no reason (other than that missile up the exhaust or the bomb in the crapper) as to why. Fight Rod, fight! Go Rod, go! At least until your plea bargain is done and then Sing Rod, sing!

I’m thinking the hairstyle will have to go though or the witness protection program isn’t going to be of much benefit to him for an extended period of time.

I agree with you, since I live near Chicago. The longer Rod fights, the better it will be for Illinois Republicans, in 2010.

He’s got a good point.

When he says he did not do anything wrong, he is actually correct.

He did it the way you are supposed to do things in Chicago.

He didn’t do it “wrong”. /s

lol.. He just got caught isall.

The history of Illinois and Chicagoan politics and corruption goes way back. It’s close to an artform.

Can’t help wondering what Fitz is thinking as he watches all this.

That’s what I believe. Maybe with this scandal we can see a real two party system emerge. I am so tired of the combine.

Good job Governor. You fight the good fight because you did not get to where you are by being a quitter. You did not do anything different than that all of those around you in Illinois have been doing and continue to do but they don’t get charged with anything. For that reason, I think you would convince the public and trier of fact that you did not do anything wrong by talking about and establishing all of the things that were done by those around you in Illinois, including the new president of the United States. Good luck Governor...

This dummy and his sycophants in the media are so dumb. We have become Nancy Graced as a nation. This guy even believes he can get off , because he thinks the evidence can be thrown out on a technicality. technically dummy they can throw you out cause they don’t like your hair. There are the same legal standards as a regular criminal trial when it comes to impeachment. No without a shadow of a doubt, not the same rules of evidence. he and the nation watches too many courtroom shows where because of the ferocity of someone’s defense means they are naturally not guilty. He’s gone, criminally he maybe to save his butt, on a technicality but as far as impeachment, he;s toast

Could be. Hopefully he will take a bunch of crooks down with him including Fitzgerald.

Amrish Mahajan raise more than a half million dollars for Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s campaigns since 2001...Mahajan’s ties to Blagojevich run deep—including hiring the Democratic governor’s wife last year as a real estate agent on $5.7 million in private land deals

Nadhmi Auchi owns General Mediterranean Holding, a Luxemburg-based conglomerate with ... Mutual Bank, Anita and Amrish Mahajan,

Auchi provided the money for Rezko to buy Obama lot.

A former Illinois bank official, now claiming whistleblower status, says bank officials replaced a loan reappraisal that he prepared for a Chicago property that was purchased by the wife of now-convicted felon Tony Rezko, part of which was later sold to next-door neighbor Barack Obama.

The complaint said the Rezko loan was approved by Mutual Bank President and CEO Amrish Mahajan

This is just part of the information I found last night. More Here:

He needs to get Arlen Specter appointed to his legal team. Get Scottish law implemented as the standard of proof for his impeachment and he walks.

Ha Ha, he'll take down half of Obama's cabinet with him, the ones from Illinois at least! Obama should have waited before naming some of them, his presidency is already tainted badly & he's not even IN the White House yet!

This is priceless!!!
