He's a big time POS.

We will never know how or if Obama was involved.

Really?

Pretty much sums it up.

Re: Blagojevich guilty on 17 of 20 counts; prison time likely
 

He's the 4th Illinois governor sine 1973 to be convicted of a felony. That's crazy.

We will never know how or if firstdown was involved.


See what I did there? You can make the same statement about anybody. Like:

We will never know how or if Tom Hanks was involed. Or Al Sharpton or Lily Tomlin. Now I am just pulling random names out of thin air. I guess they're as relevant.

Why do I feel like that both S10 and I would agree, we're better off with this guy behind bars.

The only thing Rod Blagojevich is guilty of, according to Blagojevich, is being the son of an immigrant.

HAhaha. That made me laugh good.

This is why people like bachmann or palin could win the election.

Corruption is in the job description. You don't get hired without it.

Re: Blagojevich guilty on 17 of 20 counts; prison time likely
 

If I'm correct all he did was try to sell Obama's seat to the highest bidder. Is that really a 14yr crime?

Re: Blagojevich guilty on 17 of 20 counts; prison time likely
 

I love how he gets 60 days to turn himself in...

Once the conviction comes through -- go straight to jail.

Re: Blagojevich guilty on 17 of 20 counts; prison time likely
 

Whats the odds he gets pardoned by the guy whos very seat he was trying to sell. If Obama looses next year i would say 50/50. If Obama wins i give it 100%, most likely happening at the very end of his second term.

Re: Blagojevich guilty on 17 of 20 counts; prison time likely
 

Cliff notes please. What did he do?

Re: Blagojevich guilty on 17 of 20 counts; prison time likely
 

Tried to sell Obama's vacant senate seat to the highest bidder

Denied it for years until

And was totally lame on the Celebrity Apprentice

Okay, now I'm caught up. In fact I feel stupid for not remembering that in the first place as a bell went off as soon as I read your post. But did all 20 counts come from the Obama Senate Seat?

Re: Blagojevich guilty on 17 of 20 counts; prison time likely
 

Blago was convicted for more than just Obama's seat. He also was sentenced for using his position both to coerce campaign donations beyond the Obama fiasco and to gain jobs for himself and family members. He was already well-corrupted before the Obama thing came along.

They say that the jury was especially appalled by his hoarding of hair spray.
