Anyone having Blago fatigue? I am... Here is the latest on Blago. I wouldn't be surprised if the creator of Law and Order has an episode based on Blago.
From The Capitol Fax Blog:
[U.S. Distirct Judge James B. Zagel] said at the hearing Thursday that the Blagojevich trial will take six months, and likely will not begin for two years.
* The former governor was all smiles for the reporters before and after his arraignment earlier this week. But it was a different story as he rode an elevator up to the courtroom with ABC7’s Chuck Goudie…

But once we were behind closed elevator doors, away from the cameras, Blagojevich launched into a pitched tirade about something else: illegal gambling and allegations that he worked as a bookmaker, taking action from sports gamblers before he got into politics.
“That bookmaking story was (bleep),” said Illinois’ former leader. “I did not do that. I deny it. It’s a (bleepin’) lie,” he said in what would become an uninterrupted diatribe.
Pointing to me, he said, “This man is a (bleepin’) liar. He puts lies on TV.”
The ABC7 I-Team has learned that an attorney who went undercover for the FBI in the late 1980’s says he told federal authorities years ago about wrongdoing by Blagojevich. His name is Robert Cooley.
Cooley says that before Rod Blagojevich got into politics he was a bookmaker on the North Side who regularly paid the Chicago mob to operate.

Yes two whole years before his trial, two more years of getting on every talk show, radio show, reality show........you name it, and you know he's going to do it, if not to tait the jury so bad they volunteer an insanity plea for him.
Yup, may as well let him go now...Fitz jumped the gun on this one big time. Nobody's perfect.
We have to remember this investigation has been going on for many many years. It involves alot of people and even wealthy powerful people. If Fitz did it the way the Public wants he would lose. This scandal is much bigger then the charges filed. A good lawyer dots every eye and crosses every T before walking in to a court. It'is like baking a pie. Reading the comments about how most think this is to long I say would you bake your pie at 500 degrees to cook it faster?
G-Rod is an entertainer and he will milk this for all it's worth. Now he's in talks with NBC for a job. Hollywood might be next on the list. After seeing the Comedy Show called Fox News who knows NBC might want to do the same. As we see convicted criminals get jobs and even indicted people as the honest hardworking person is turned down for employment. Welcome to the new America!!!
