ROD BLAGOJEVICH, FORMER GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS: Well, Bill, the most important evidence is the secretly taped conversations when the government taped my home phones for about six weeks and other telephones. And there are hundreds of hours of secretly taped conversations. And the great irony here is I've asked and my lawyers have filed a motion to petition the court to have all of those tapes heard by either side and played in court so that the jury of my peers could actually hear what the whole truth is.
We've advocated and I've advocated from the very beginning that every one of those taped conversations be heard, and it will exonerate me. And it will show that what actually happened here was not the sale of a Senate seat for financial gain but, frankly, the theft of a governor twice elected by the people by government bureaucrats with fancy law degrees.O'REILLY: All right.
BLAGOJEVICH: That's the heart of this case.O'REILLY: All right. So there are hundreds of hours though of tape the government has on you. And, look, I think you're right. Get it out there. Let the people hear it. This, that, and the other thing. But I'll come back to the fact that there has been reporting that then-Senator Obama, Rahm Emanuel, a whole bunch of people, OK, had conversations with you about this seat. That's a fact. Is that true?
BLAGOJEVICH: Well, let me answer that, and let me also let you and your listeners know, your viewers know, I'm restricted by a court order.
O'REILLY: I know that. I'm not going to ask you what the conversations are.
BLAGOJEVICH: Right. I can't — right.

PLAY ALL THE TAPES !
~~PING!
Play the tapes! Play the tapes.....I want to hear what Rahm E said.
Blago looks like the devil climbed inside a man’s skin. Hateful, deep democrat evil lurks in his soul.
Not in this case. Blago was clear about
being bound by issues in his legal case
and not commenting, but BOR made a
complete fool of himself trying to be
slick and back into territory he was
informed was off limits. And he knows
better.
He’s a serious egomaniac.
I always think Blago needs a Mini-me on his lap ;-)
I will listen to them later after work. If I can stomach BOR twice in 24 hours.
I can’t figure BOR out. Has he been bought? Was he told he had to be more center or he would lose his job? Is he really a progressive marxist? Or does he just play a ignorant devil’s advocate and let his guests get out the truth?
Blago needs to be behind bars, not on TV shows! What a country!!!
" If you keep your mouth shut, I'll get you a lucrative deal. The Hair Club wants
to show anxious baldies bad things can happen when guys have TOO much hair."
;)
“I can’t figure BOR out. Has he been bought?”
I’ve always said you just can’t trust the people on TV. They are given huge power, and the people who give them that power choose them very carefully before they do so.
It’s like BEck - if people pick up some good ideas from him and then move on, then fine. But he’ll probably pick his most valuable moment & try to stab us in the back.
Newscorp is NOT a conservative company. They also own many British media outlets which are disgustingly leftist. I’d find those kind of people useful, but never trust them.
BOR doesn’t realize that a non-answer *is* an answer in itself.
I’m with Blago. I want *all* the tapes played.
Despite the hype and nauseating TV spots featuring the impeached guv, the buzz is Blagojevich may face a federal roadblock to the Trump gig.
Blago, in all his ego, will likely be shut-down.
;)
That, and he is a serious, deeply partisan Democrat. Why this man is so popular among our fellow Freepers is an enduring mystery.
Even more mysterious is why Beck is fooling with him.
I agree ... his subject matter,
offhanded comments (and Beck’s)
have curiously changed.
If my tinfoil hat’s on, I’m
thinking a Fox directive of
some sort for some new reason
and focus.
It’s very noticeable to me.
Bill O Reilly ain’t fair and balanced. Did you hear him trying to pin down Sarah Palin the other day on Obummer’s eligibility? She sidestepped it nicely...said 2nd amendment gives us the right to ask.
Wow...Obama’s scar on his head really shows in the picture of him and Blago. Wonder how he got his head sliced open?
