So Blago's effin golden for the good of Illinois defense didn't work as he wished. After suffering through his second in command as governor, another bumbler, in a worse economic and less forgiving political environment, voters, uh jurors were all business.
At least someone legitimately is in this state. (Will the Chicago Way go the way of the dodo bird? Don't count on it.)
Or it could be the jury of 11 women (and one guy) knew they had been picked by the feckless Blago defense team under the sexist theory they'd go with the guy with the better hair.
And they decided to do the people's business, and convict this corrupt pol.
A few salient tweets:
#Blagojevich So with this big win on Blago who will Patrick Fitzgerald go after next? #TCOT#Blagojevich guess Rahm's testimonial helped him on that one count NG. No bleepin golden help from Obama who helped run his first campaign
Guess that Senate seat wasn't so bleepin' golden after all. #Blagojevich

RT @AnnaTarkov: Per WGN, Rod is reportedly not showing any emotion. Patti is reportedly vacillating between anger and sadness. #blagojevich
Blago convicted? Obama must be like the only honest Chicago pol in history.

@Sky_Bluez Quinn Pro Quo? He's the guy trading state jobs for votes for the tax increase. Sounds like a place to start.
(So who's next? Best bet to vote him out) In final nod to Governor Elvis, maybe you'll be a hit in prison. A captive audience, shall we say: More links: Chicago Daily Observer wonders about Dem reaction. Newsalert on Illinois' horrifically corrupt history.Totly true.Also he rly is nutsRT @JimPethokoukis: John Kass on WGN:Blago no more crooked than other IL pols, but surrounded by dumber people

Anne, I'm not sure I'll ever recover from watching that video. I'm all shook up!
I know. The voice!
And the hair
There's a prison barber somewhere who will be very happy soon.
Jobs! The kind IL creates
