“Don’t go down without a fight! Bring them all down with you Blagojevich!”
Those weren’t one-way phone conversations. Blago is holding some more trump cards.
I think you’re right , he mentioned Rahm by name :-)))))
Funny! Blago is most certainly bringing home the message that politics is a game and rules, laws, congresses, voters, citizens, judges, majority leaders, even presidents are just pawns in a chess game.
Not only that, but all these FReepers wondering why Blago is rambling on, calling him a goofball, etc. need to know one thing; it's all about the jury pool. All it takes is one Chicagoan to think he's a great guy and it's all over. Even should the trial occur after a Senate conviction, if he can't be convicted in a court, then he may have grounds to overturn a Senate conviction.
If this guy's a goofball, or delusional, or whatever one wants to think, he's a smart goofball. Very smart. This wasn't a presser; it was theater.
