For Pete's sake anybody that has the guts to talk to the president that way is to be commended, not convicted. For a former US Marine to try and bully others in the jury and then discuss it in the press without a hint of shame shows that maybe the jury system isn't working as well as it should. He obviously isn't playing with a full deck.
God bless the lone holdout!
More are talking.
George Costanza, laytex salesman.
Whats to bless? She was probably on the take. I’m upset that Fitzgerald deliberately jumped the gun so that they wouldn’t catch all of 0bama’s friends. (if they did would we hear about it?)
First time in Chicago that a jury was fixed.
Are you mentally ill? The "lone holdout" was a political operative under orders not to convict.
The holdout had been saying to her friends that she’d find Blago ‘not guilty’, no matter what, during the court process.
Maybe it's time to institute a critical thinking / logic test before granting posting rights on FR.
Lost in the internet are you?
Prepare for the zot.
In practice, it seems to always be a Democrat operative crossing his or her arms and saying, "I don't care how corrupt that SOB is -- I have my orders and I am not going to let you convict him. Nyah, nyah, nyah."
I would not ask God to bless a liar. But I don't have to worry about that, he knows the truth. In Chicago a "bought" juror is to be expected. Careful what you ask for.
I had to double take and make sure I wasn't redirected to DU! Blagojevich was window shopping a Senate seat and your glad he wasn't brought to justice! I think you might be on the wrong forum!
I suppose he really would go ballistic if he heard what I think of President Obuma.
The juror is now waiting for her payoff.
Yeah, it’s sickening that he was outraged by an insult to Obama.
They’ll try again to get a conviction without implicating Obama and his people.
Let’s hope someone on that jury too smells a rat- and is not worshipful of Obama.
Ever been on a jury?
I’m not blessing any juror, except to say it’s hard to be the lone holdout and sustain. Most folks fold.
I do think this outcome hurts Obama more, and also hurts Chi-town political corruption, as the voters see there ain’t no rescue forces — it’s up to them.
Hey, maybe Blago is guilty as hell on all counts.
The fact is he wasn’t charged with cursing at the president, I hope this juror wasn’t just motivated by anger. I also find it strange sitting on a jury of a governor and saying you want to attack the former governor bc he cursed at the president.
I guess they don’t curse in the marines? /s
Blago just went up a notch in my estimation.
Of course, that's not saying much.
Wouldn't have been able to stop laughing. I do believe an alternate would have been taking my place.
” “I was going to go through the prosecution table right to him. I’ve never heard anything like that in my life.
Tell the president of the United States to go ‘F’ himself. Where I come from, that doesn’t happen.”
Blago told GW to F himself ?
Because when the tapes were made in 08 , George Bush was POTUS.
Blago was not speaking to Barry ,but, someone else when he referred to Barry as a MFer and said “ F him , F him .”
