This puts an interesting coda on his comments of last week, seeking a pardon for former governor George Ryan...

Illinois is not only heavily Democratic but ACORN makes sure it stays that way.

Blagojevich sounds pretty unhinged at this point. His quotes in this article are bizarre to say the least.

Daley and Obama have got to be soiling their underwear right now. I wonder how fast this bakelite-haired fraud will be willing to rat out his buddies to get a deal. Maybe one of the buddies he rats out is Zer0...would that not be the best???

I think this a Patrick Fitzgerald prosecution. Wonder how long it will take Obama to fire him once he takes office.

Seeing that Blago refused to live in Springfield (the capitol), this made his commute to the federal lock-up on Van Buren that much more convenient.

Are there any Illinois politicians who aren’t either completely corrupt or completely incompetent?

It came out last week that the Feds apparently already had a taped conversation of him. If so, it had to be pretty damning for them to act this quickly.
