It's good to be President.......

If one bothers to read the book " The Case Against Barak Obama", they will find that there is a definitive connection between Blago and the Obama Machine.
Chicago, and indeed Illinois politics, in all it's glory.
I weep for the USA.

When you observe these people carrying a violin case SO NOT assume they are heading for a concert.........

That Pat Fitzgerald was able to turn some legitimate non competes in the case of Conrad Black into 6 1/2 years and the destruction of his media empire seems at odds with the fact he could not do anything but come up empty against Blago - and as a result empty against Obama.

I lived in Chicago for 5+ years from 1999 ~ 2005. Blago is a typical Chicago Machine political hack as is Obama, but Obama has a shiny veneer of pseudo-respectability. Now the Chicago Machine controls the entire country! John Kass of the Chicago Tribune has been screaming about this for since Obama started running for prez but nobody was listening ...our bad.

11-1 deadlock on selling bambam's seat. Someone got a good job and a new house.

As a life long resident of Mordor I am not the least bit surprised a Cook County jury couldn't find Blago guilty of corruption. For that to happen the jurors would have to admit that anyone they knew or are related to that has a county or city job is also a crook. Fat chance that was going to happen! This is just business as usual for this dung pile of a state. The Chicago Machine mentality is ingrained, no inbred into those people. You know those people; the ones that say "Da Mare is good for Chicago." Before John Kass was screaming about the Chicago Machine we had Mike Royko doing the same. Unfortunately it fell on deaf ears then and now.

Speedy: You nailed it! Someone somewhere got a job, new car, maybe their kid(s) got into the right school...

They will have another trial apparently.

And Blago will do time.

This isn't over, but there will be nothing new on the case until after november...

If I had a name like that' I'd change it at the first opportunity. How about John Smith!

Fitzgerald is Corrupt...He knew that Blago could not be convicted after the Black case was overturned by the US SC.

Criminal lawyers MUST prove beyond a reasonable doubt..period....

The Tax money is wasted when it is spent on these Criminal cases that rely on the Civil law standard of "More likely than not" or the emotional bent of Juries..

It is Fitzgerald & the Chicago DOJ that should spend the rest of thier careers delivering Pizza

BTW: How can anyone testify that money changed hands without implicating themselves..You need TWO people in the docket

This all reminds me of the old college saying>

"How do you separate the men from the boys? With a crowbar."
