I can't believe I am siding with Rick here, but he tried to sell a senate seat! We need to hold politicians accountable for their dipshittery. He is getting exactly what he deserved. Got to do something to try to repair the public trust in government which has been eroded so much especially in Illinois/Chicago

You are probably right. We should try to get more in jail for 14 years rather than excuse wrongdoing and go easy on Blago.

Elections have consequences.

Nobody is excusing wrongdoing, but we'd be better served to examine and take issue with the entire political system rather than cheering the incarceration of a guy who finished in the lower half of his class at Foreman High.

Well fair enough, but I think we can leave Blago to serve his sentence and still take issue and examine the entire political system. I don' t think it has to be an either or proposition.

So that means that he shouldn't be in prison? We should let every corrupt politician get out scott free because....Hillary? Good plan.

And I'm shocked it's taken this long but Amy Blago....would. Although Momma is hotter especially when you figure she has a very dirty mouth.

To quote the opening theme of Malcolm in the Middle. Life is unfair. Blago was convicted of a crime and now he does the punishment. If Hillary gets convicted of a crime we can discuss her sentencing. Blago has nobody to blame but himself for doing something illegal and not being slippery enough to get away with it.

_________________

Your revisionist history lesson here is fascinating.

"Lost his father in law"? He cut him out behind his back. And then when after his business partner to show him who was in charge.

Real quick, without checking on the internet, tell us why Blago is in jail.

_________________

I know exactly what happened. If he sticks with Mell he likely isn't in prison. Do you disagree with that?

One of the reasons he's in prison is because he demanded money from Johnnie Johnston in order to release the casino money that rightfully belonged to the racetracks anyway. But I'm not shedding any tears over the plight of the Johnstons. They got a raw deal in this case but they deserved it for all kinds of other misdeeds.

Sounds like a cop defending his mistreatment of a wrongly accused suspect.

_________________

This is exactly the point. Hillary will never be convicted of a crime, not because she hasn't committed many, but because of who she is. And Blago is in prison because he's a fuckin' nobody.

So that's one legitimate reason he is in prison. There are others.

All he had to do yesterday was own to things like the Johnstons, lying to the feds and being a personal pig. But he REFUSED to be honest and humble and instead, pimped his kids for all the world to see.

How incredibly weak, sad and pathetic. And now his daughters labor under the same delusion he chooses to live under. Someday they will figure out what he did to them, not Zagel. I will pray they can forgive him without expecting an apology from a guy who refuses to give them.

No, I'm not. That's why I'm not wasting time kicking a nobody.

to be fair, Blago comes off as less crony than Mell.

I would have set him free.......because Thanksgiving with Dick Mel.Patty and Lesbo sister in-law Deborah has got to be worse than prison!

Guy did nothing wrong, shouldn't have even gone to jail.

It's not his fault the system was corrupt and he was taught how to be governor by people who cheated their way to the top. He didn't even know he was breaking any laws when he tried selling the senate seat, he legitimately thought that was a perk of the job.

Guy got 14 years for being ignorant.

FREE BLAGO!!!!

I know you're laughing, but I honestly believe that was the case. Poor guy was taught by crooks his whole life, took over for crooks. Top that off with him not being the sharpest tool in the shed and my explanation makes sense.
