Governor Rod Blagojevich of Illinois address questions about charges brought against him of conspiracy and bribery, including allegations he was seeking to benefit financially from his appointment of a successor to the U.S. Senate seat that was vacated by President-elect Barack Obama during a news conference in Chicago, December 19, 2008.

They always say that they plan to fight to the end, then wind up resigning a day or two later. Still, I hope Blagojevich is the exception to the rule and tries and stick it out.

[NEWwoman]

Good for him! I wonder what he knows. Hope he does not end up like Jimmy Hoffa.

A good defense for him is that heh I am innocent because everyone does it here in Chicago and I can tell you who has done it and has not been charged. I did nothing wrong because Rahm and Obama were doing it and they have not been arrested or charged. The whole heh, I was was going with the flow of traffic, why did you stop me may be his defense.

Hehehehehehe I sure hope so.

Barack Obama: The Bernie Madoff of Politics!

[Uncle Hal]

If I was Blago I would not go near Fort Marcy Park.

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

[malkee]

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

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...

[TigersEye]

Fight on, Blago! Maybe you can take that POS Fitzgerald down.

[Lawgvr1955]

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.

[blondee123]

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!!!

The real question to ask is why would anybody be willing to pay $1,000,000.00 for a 6 year position that pays $150,000.00/yr.? The answer is, because that special interests stuff their pockets with untold millions of dollars. Thus exposing how broke the system really is. Why are none of the news media both liberal and conservative not addressing this issue?
