"he's going down swinging, with a call to fire Rahm Emanuel for being as guilty as he -- according to a theory under which he is being impeached for fighting for citizens right to cheap prescription drugs.

Lawmakers should “demand that President Obama fire Rahm Emanuel” because favored the program. "

Blago showing his brass balls and sending a direct warning shot to Obama. Blago will not go down alone.

Oh yes he will.

If Blago was a republican presidential nominee I would have voted for him, imagine the phone conversation he would have with Iran’s Imanutjob.

He’s like the Jose Canseco of politics. Sometimes it takes a scumbag to out all the other scumbags.

It would not shock me in the slightest to find this leading to Obama.

It already has, in a way. The real story is not Blago and the senate seat, but the pay-for-play with medical institutions. Obama and his wife and Rezko are in that already. Obama chaired a very-relevant senate committee, and his wife's $350K job at a hospital was not due to her brains and bright smile.

And Blago’s wife was the Realtor who negotiated the land/house deal between Rezko and Obama!

Best Advice for Blago. Take copies of ALL of your incriminating evidence, distribute to a bunch of secret lawyers (not IN Illinois) and maybe drop a copy to Rush Limbaugh's lawyer with instructions to open and distribute in the event of your death.

Anything less and he is going to be crucified by the system.

nobody thinks Blago has any credibility

True, which means he'll have to show them the body - irrefutable evidence.

I hope he does, but he's likely bereft of bodies where he isn't incriminated too.

And nobody appreciated Canseco’s recollections. He threatened everybody’s gravy train.

Yep. From what I’ve been hearing, most people know that many politicians do the same things that Blago is accused of. What makes him “worse” is that he was caught on tape using the f word. I’m not kidding! The Dems and media have done a good job of centering scorn on Blago, thus leaving all of our other Dem politicians safe...at least for now.

Between Blago and his wife, they have enough on Zero to really cause problems. His wife was the realestate agent for Rezko and knows the details of the Zero house and lot deal. Blago was up to his ears in the hospital extorsion scheme that Rezko ran and Zero supported. Got Michelle the big job at the hospital.

Agree — the past few days I’ve found myself cheering Blago on — something bad must be wrong with me :)

This guy is going to end up shooting himself in the back of the head five times with a suicide note clutched in both hands.

I bet he’s got thousands of tattle tail pages stashed in many places and has made it clear, he goes, they will surface.
