I live in a suburb of Chicago, and I think Blago got a bad rap. He never ended up selling any position in exchange for anything. Just a lot of big talk. The Dem Party elders were out to get him, and threw him to the sharks. I feel sorry for him. Has young kids. Didn’t deserve this long sentence just for the sin of being flamboyant by nature. The long knives were out for Blago. Surprisingly, if you will remember, he was on Trump’s The Apprentice, and did well on it.
