Too bad they didn't prosecute the Illegal and Moochelle for a lot of the sane stuff.

So, I guess Blago’s about to get a slap on the wrist and 12 months of community service. Scary...

Hey Blago - we’ll forgive all if you expose Obama’s crimes.
Do it.
Now.
Really.
Come on - no one with a measurable IQ believes his books or his birth layered altered...er....birth certificates.

12 months of community service. Scary... Time "serving the community" as governor counted as time served. Let off with a "Don't [get caught] do[ing] it again."

Well, now that he’s been convicted, he can run for office again, right? Wasn’t that happened with all the other corrupt Democrat politicians?

Time "serving the community" as governor counted as time served. Let off with a "Don't [get caught] do[ing] it again." That's a pretty harsh sentence, considering that he's a Democrat, don't you think? I mean, think of all the damage that will cause to Blago's self esteem. Horrors...

He used the wrong defense. He should have gone with “I just did what comes natural for politicians in that part of the country. It’s in the DNA. I was born that way.”
To: libstripper
They’re going to have to build an “Illinois Governor’s suite” at that fed prison. There’s been a lot lately using it.

I am sure I read somewhere that while running for Governor, he promised no more gun control, then after election immediately began pushing for every kind he could think of.

Illinois: The only state where license plates are made by former governors. I would hope that's true but, if Illinois is like many other states, prisoners no longer make license plates. Instead, that's now subcontracted out to private firms (with union labor, perhaps?).

Build Illinois. Start with an ex-Illinois Governor’s wing at Menard.

I’m wondering if he’ll sell out Obama or Rahm as a way to cut a deal with the prosecution so he can avoid jail time.
