I am watching blagovich being interviewed by chris wallace. Wallace isn't letting him squirm out of the questions....What a lying, scumbag, greasy, corrupt, venal man blago is and he is connected at the hip to all of the corrupt chicago politics as usual, right where obama was spawned from.

Yes but the jury was deadlocked on the main counts of selling obamas senate seat 11-1 for conviction. It would be interesting to see mr. roberts do an in depth study on that one lone juror and find out how much carrot and stick rahm emmanuel and mayor daley used to get him to turn. It would also be interesting to see an investigative reporter follow this juror and see how much his financial lifestyle changes in the coming weeks/months. Of course that reporter would have to shed his partisan politics, take his blinders off and see the truth....what are the chances?

He should be convicted for that Ishkabibble haircut.
