Patti Blagojevich's father, sister and brother are refuting the foul-mouthed portrait that's been drawn of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's wife since his arrest, saying the first lady has been living in a pressure cooker.
Chicago Alderman Dick Mell, state Representative-elect Deborah Mell and Rich Mell told the Chicago Sun-Times and NBC5 in an exclusive interview Wednesday that profanity-laced comments recorded by federal prosecutors don't reflect who Patti Blagojevich really is.
"That is absolutely not my sister," Deborah Mell said. "Patti is a mother, a sister and a devoted wife.
"She is particularly protective of her family."
In a complaint released Tuesday, prosecutors say the 52-year-old Blagojevich plotted to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat. In the criminal complaint against him, his 43-year-old wife emerges in recorded phone conversations as a scheming woman who tried to punish those who got in her way.
According to the complaint, Patti Blagojevich was the voice in the background spewing an ugly suggestion to "just fire" some newspaper editors if the Tribune Co. hoped for state assistance to sell Wrigley Field, the storied home of the Chicago Cubs.
"Hold up that (expletive) Cubs (expletive)," she says as her husband is talking on the telephone. "(Expletive) them."
Patti Blagojevich's family acknowledged the harsh language contained on the recordings but said those words were uttered at a stressful time as both she and her husband were under federal scrutiny.

Ahhh....So that makes it all ok. It's someone else's fault.
Page One from the Liberal Rules Handbook.
Searched on this story and didn't see it posted.
That's not the Patti that Tony Rezko associated with in real estate deals.
Buh-bye, Patti.
it’s so stressful living on a salary of $180,000 with all the perks of being governor’s wife. Mansion? Cook? Servants? Drivers? Personal secretary?
oh, the stress. She did it for her faaaamily.
Plus did we mention her Mom died 2 years ago?
blah blah blah
I dont think the Mells will let their own go down, taking the rap in return for the “appreciation” of Obummer and his sleaze team
That’s not the obama residence, is it?
"Hold up that (expletive) Cubs (expletive), (Expletive) them."
After matching the words to the face, she isn't very pretty anymore, in fact, she is downright ugly and disgusting to look at!
yeah, toots, we feel REAL sorry fer ya!
where was all your sympathy when you and dear old hubby was raking in the dirty money, eh?
wah!wah!wah!
there’s soem old sayiong that I seem to recall - something about heat and kitchens, and where you should stay...
and yes babe, them pants DO make you look fat!
In a statement, her father said, "She's a really sweet f_________ girl. She didn't use no f___________ foul language and if she did, so f_________ what? If you don't stop printing these f______ stories about her, I'll be f_______ sure that you f_____________ pay." [just kidding . . . ]
When asked to comment,Potty Mouth Patty said-”F-—em”
Not Guilty. Sorry.
she kinda looks like a woodchuck with them budding jowls... before she gets much older, she’ll be mistaken for a St. Bernard...
I bet here kids can swear like Marines.
please ignore what you’ve heard and consider our intentions.
Quite the contrary to this article, I think she has her husband under her spell. She’s got the Chicago machine in her blood. I would venture to say SHE corrupted HIM (Blago).
Blago is just plain dopey - no one that stupid could be so pre-meditatively corrupt. She made him with the indispensible help of daddy, and I’m guessing she’s the brains behind this pile.
Not guilty at all. I’ll bet Lady MacBeth was hot, too.
