No, he doesn’t. He sounded completely disgusted with everything.

This is like an old-timey news conference. I picture all the reporters to be wearing fedoras and running out to a row phone booths when this is over.

Apparently, Blago was trying to sell Obama’s vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder. It says much about Chicago politics that he felt he could get away with it.

Who’s Blago’s lawyer? The New Media (and Jon Kass of the “old” media!) wants to vet his lawyer for connections to Opossum.
