We'll see what the sentencing is, if he gets worse than a white-collar country-club slam...

Hopefully he gets slammed hard.

Illinois. The only state with more corrupt politicians than Louisiana. They've certainly given our leges something to shoot for.  ::puke::

I would hope that if there's any evidence to be turned on O'Chimpy, Holder, Jarrett, Emanuel, etc, that facing the inside of a prison cell might compel Blago to spill some beans.

I think he tried, several times, for the beans to be admitted into evidence and the judge wouldn't allow it.

The time for cutting a deal was before going to trial, now the poor bastard blew that opportunity and doing so now willl only be pooh-poohed by Obamites as a desperate gamble by a doomed crook.

He'll have to take this all by himself.

Not to say he couldn't make money while in the can telling his side of the story...

I don't know if Illinois prohibits felons profiting from their fame but I bet his wife will have a book.

Yeah I don't know either, but that profiting from infamy trend seemed to be stronger in conservative law & order states than more liberal ones.  Hopefully most states are adopting that stance.

Judge : " Mr. Blagojevich , do you have anything to say before I pass sentence ? "

Blago : " Uh ... I was going to offer you a U.S. Senate seat in exchange for a lighter sentence and then I remembered that I'm not the governor anymore ."   ::whoohoo::

The only cards he had were Øbongo's involvement and no one in the (un)justice department wants to go anywhere near that.

Linky-link no worky for me!   ::facepalm::

Found this one.

One commenter says good behavior would mean only serving 85% of that, if true that would be 11.9 years.  Still seems short.

But Obama, Holder & Co deserve about triple that, so, everything in perspective...
