CHICAGO (AP) — Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich embraced the public spotlight one last time Wednesday before reporting to prison, claiming he always believed what he did was legal and that he has faith the appeal of his corruption convictions would be successful.
The famously talkative Blagojevich seemed to relish the attention as he spoke to a throng of television cameras, reporters and well-wishers outside his Chicago home. In less than 24 hours, he was due to arrive at a Colorado prison to begin serving a 14-year sentence on corruption charges, including that he tried to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat.
"We have great trust and faith in the appeal. And while my faith in things has sometimes been challenged, I still believe this is America, this is a country that is governed by the rule of law, that the truth ultimately will prevail," the impeached governor said, as his wife stood by his side.
Dont fret Rod ole boy......theres a couple hundred more just like you that'll soon be joining you!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteof course he did. in chicago politics, home of mr potus, this is commonplace. everyone knows it. apparently everyone practices it. it is simply a matter of which guy has the intern with the loose lips.
He was guilty and should serve some time ,but what about the Gangsters in Whitehouse half them belong in prison along with Obama.
