Blago's Book Written With Daughter's Li'l Pink Dictating Machine (Nobody Proofread Carefully)
NBC New York ^ | 9/3/09 | Andrew Greener

... and nobody proofread it very carefully

The timeline from impeachment to book release was an incredible seven months.

How did former Illinois chief executive Rod Blagojevich manage to bang out “The Governor” so quickly?

He wrote the first couple chapters longhand on a yellow legal pad, until his wife told him it was taking him too long, a source told the Sun-Times’ Michael Sneed.

“So he dictated the rest of the book on his 12-year-old daughter Amy's pink dictating machine," the source told Sneed.

Another reason for the quick turnaround: No one proofread it all that carefully.

Blago’s lawyers reportedly said they “didn’t go over the book with a fine-toothed comb before it was released.”

I would hope, NO ONE! Get on with the trial & put him where he belongs, behind bars!

First pic: Obama looks like he’s in the process of “squeezing out a big one.” Aids with doggy-poop bags ready in the “off”?

Last pic: Looks “Photo-shopped”?

Fun observations, though I’m not a fauxtoshop expert.
The shadows are correct if the lighting is from the
camera POV. So I’m not sure.

There are some expert “photo-shoppers” out there...don't know why exactly, call it a first-impression gut feeling, but that last picture made me think “shopped.” No matter, the “I didn't know him” line is most likely a brazen LIE.

It is not photo-shopped. That photo was all over the internet long before Blago even because an issue. I know because I saved it from several news sources.
