Yeah that was a rip. There’s a pretty straight line between six kids burned alive and Ryan selling trucking licenses to illegals. Blagojevich was a loud mouth jerk with a judge who had it out for him.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Yep. Think about it: It's no longer necessary to get caught attempting to execute a crime, it's now enough just to think about it. The reality is Mike Madigan, John Cullerton and the rest of Democrats running Springfield and the rest of the State do far worse than Blagojevich ever did, and they continue to get away with it! Why isn't Mike Madigan in jail? (rhetorical question of course...)
IMO, the only good thing that became of the whole Blagojevich trial is the fact that Jesse Jackson Jr. is now sitting in jail, and his loud-mouthed wife Sandy will be following him.
The scourge on the Jesse Jackson (Sr.) family has been a very long time in coming. The only thing that would be better is if Mr. Shakedown Artist himself were rotting in jail.
