No joke here, folks. I have never heard of a defendant that is making a mockery of the justice system. Blago thinks he is on vacation.

It's a new prime-time NBC program that pays contestants up to $80,000 an
episode. Until they're voted off, anyway.
One potential hold-up: The former governor first needs to get permission
from U.S. District Judge James Zagel to travel outside the country.

His lawyer, Sheldon Sorosky, asked Tuesday for a hearing in a week, telling
Zagel, "We may be seeking to enlarge his bond for travel purposes."

The reality show will be something new even for the media-savvy Blagojevich,
who went on a national TV and radio blitz earlier this year.

He's doing it in part to bring in some money, sources close to the
ex-governor say. He's been unemployed since the Illinois Legislature booted
him from office in January. His wife, Patti Blagjevich, is also unemployed
after she was let go from her fund-raising job with the Chicago Christian
Industrial League.

Blago's brother wants a separate trial
His lawyer, Michael Ettinger, said he'll seek a separate trial for Robert Blagojevich, 53, of Nashville, Tennesse.
Ettinger acknowledged today that there was some friction between the Blagojevich brothers since elder brother, Robert, got charged with criminal wrongdoing April 2.
"There was some, but it's fine now," Ettinger said.
Ettinger added: "He entered a plea of not guilty. We're going to trial."
Asked if there's any chance of a plea deal: "Nope," Ettinger said.
Robert Blagojevich was charged in two wire fraud counts of the 19 counts in the indictment. He said after court that he was "prepared to cope with the charges and work through them."

That's right not a joke.
But anyone who hit all the TV and news networks, before and after impeachment is certainly capable of this.
Run G-Rod Run if he can. Look G-Rod will play his games and spill names if necessary to get off of these charges. He didn't get as high as he did without knowing the secrets of play makers. Some say G-Rod is crazy I say he's crazy like a fox.
lol Never heard of a nimrod like G-Rod to make a buffoon out of judicial system. Hope that the judge denies G-Rod a free pass to his gig and throws the book at him if he is found guilty of his crimes. Honestly, this clown needs to be behind bars without his hairdresser.
