I've stayed out of the fray as of late, with regards to the Governor of Illinois because I have felt all along that this goof didn't deserve any more publicity, good or bad, but these latest moves have pushed me over the edge and I can't pass up this opportunity, I apologize to my readers.
The 'media circus' the media circus calls it, shows that Governor Blagojevich isn't nuts as some claim, but as sane, cunning and calculating as they come. He managed to get the publicity hungry electronic media to give him air-time to supposedly tell his side of the story since, as he claims, the Illinois legislature is only trying to get rid of him because they are mad that he has worked on the behalf of the good citizens of Illinois as they are really crooks and he's just a good guy that's being much maligned. We'll he's partly right, the members of the legislature are mostly crooks, and that's where any resemblance his statements have to the truth abruptly end. The only thing missing in the various interviews are tears and if this liar thought he could impact public opinion, specifically the Moron's that watch these shows with a few tears, watch him, he'd turn on the water works in a heart beat.
I can understand a show like the View that caters to an audience of lower intellect and I can fully understand Blagojevich pinpointing that particular show since he may get lucky and have one or more of their viewers end up on his jury when his criminal trial comes up on the docket. But,'the legitimate' news outlets, I can't understand, unless they're that stupid too. It's pretty obvious Blago is doing his Chicago best to influence public opinion for the big one.
This whole thing is reminiscent in some ways of the late great Vincent 'The Chin" Gigante, late of the Genovese Crime Family and not to be outdone, the one, the only, the really guilty OJ Simpson. You see "The Chin" used to wander around New York City in bath robe and slippers on the arm of one of his henchmen, babbling a bunch of nothing until he got out of earshot of the Fed's and then would pass orders to his 'helper'. I guess he thought this act would influence the authorities, it didn't and he died in prison where he deserved to die. Then we have OJ Simpson, breaks into a room at gunpoint, robs a couple of memorabilia dealers then lies through his capped teeth thinking he's going to get the same pass he got thirteen years before and low and behold his wrinkly old butt is gone for twenty to life.
The point is this, the Fed's have Blago by everything but the seat of his pants. He's been under investigation since his first term in office and selling the Senate seat is probably the least of his worries. If I was 'Robbin' Rod I would be trying to make a deal with the Fed's to get a slot in the minimum security pen and try to avoid the Big House. His appearance tomorrow before the legislature is more than likely going to leave him without his biggest bargaining chip, his Governors' gig, and after he's booted out he will basically be nothing more than a common thief and another notch in the briefcase of Patrick Fitzgerald the Federal Prosecutor. Good riddance Blago, I'll wait for the abbreviated news report of your final speech.
