Chicago and Illinois politics are never boring and always entertaining. Nearly 10 days since his arrest, Governor Blagojevich decided to tell his story…
…or not. He’ll tell it when the time is right. In the meantime this guy is going to run up legal fees that he and his foul mouthed wife will never be able to pay.
SIDENOTE: I love at the beginning how Blago throws out another Elvis with: “Thank you very much”. That’s two Elvis references from the Elvis obsessed Guv this week. LMAO. Not only is the guy a crook, but he’s strange.
The real question is, Do we the people really want to hear his side? What excuse can he possibly give? Just string ‘im up, coat him with honey and leave him hanging off a tree in the Everglades.

Yeah, you know, these guys live in their own world — regardless of what his side of the story may be, I honestly think that you could hook him to a polygraph and ask him if he’s done anything wrong and you’d get a flatline when he says ‘no.’ It’s the same with all of these political crooks, from banana republic dictators to the former governor(s) of Illinois.
I remember seeing an interview with Dan Walker when I was a kid — even after doing his time, he was completely convinced he’d done nothing wrong. I think it speaks as much to the nature of power as to the nature of Blago himself.
He should still swing, of course.
I have to agree Uncle Dave, I think these guys minds are so twisted they don’t think they have done a thing wrong. Blago has somehow rationalized the irrational. You see this so often with polticians.
After Blago spoke his attourneys came out and spoke. One of his attourneys compared da Guv to Harry Truman. It was hilarious and such a stretch. I guess thats what these guys are paid to do. Blago is the total opposite of Truman.
