Both he and his wife were placed on reality shows to try to rehab his image. Looks the the jury didn't fall for any of that.
He’s going to be the “Belle of the Ball.”
One democrat politician down...about 200,000 more to go!!!
No problem with this sentence, but there should be a lot more people going down for corruption.
Should have sold Obie out when he had the chance, this is what loyalty to Chicago thugs will get you.
These cases are always over charged, prosecutor stands on the court house steps reading a damning 18 charge indictment.
Rod B gets 14 years while Bill and Hillary get no time, fairly outrages, 4 years would have been more than enough.
boy...folks here think no one ever gets time anymore
Blago will serve 12 years if he is a perfect prisoner...serious time to me.
in the old days, folks even more corrupt like Edwards and Kingfish never had to stare down sentences that long..Edwards did 8 under newer 1987 laws
I’d say he should do 14 years at hard labor, breaking rocks with his face, but the damage has already been done...
I thought he would get a vacation at club fed and a cushy job upon retirement. Or at least rat out all the other scumbags. It does not take a lifetime in politics to gain the wisdom to realize that.
1) if he was this cocky about it, it happened all the time. 2) Its not as if this idiot invented it.
3) He just is not as good at it as all the other predators and parasites who practice it 24/7 in the political/criminal/oligarchy that passes for goverment in the USA
