WHAT?

Let me get this straight, holding corrupt a-hole politicians accountable is setting a dangerous and chilling precedent? Well if that is the case then I want a hell of a lot more dangerous and chilling. In fact I think I want outright deadly and deep freezing.

When Blago was saying “dangerous and chilling precedentâ€

Does anybody know if a full pardon by Obama would remove the ineligible to run or hold office penalty imposed on Blago last night?

Good question cayla, but even if that wiped out his ineligibility, who would vote for him? And I doubt if any politician with an ounce of self-preservation would appoint him to any position funded by taxpayer dollars.

Nothing coming out of the Chicago machine surprises me.

Getting any votes would not be Blago’ s main goal here. His main object would be to keep his butt out of jail. He is a lawyer and with Illinois being the number one state for frivolous lawsuits in the country he will always be able to find same sleazy law firm to work for. (There is another first for Illinois you may not have known about )


Sidebar question: Doesn’t Blago remind you of John Edwards, hair and all?

That would be fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched part of his "impassioned plea" last night and he was throwing EVERYONE under the bus!
