Thanks Sealth, I forgot that hair brushing is a critical component of anyone's day. Good stuff.

Is there a deadpool going for when/if the Illinois legislature will actually manage to impeach him? Though his attorney was ANGRY and Rod was breathless, nervous and stressed out, I don't see any signs of surrender there. And because I don't see any signs of surrender, I think it will make it hard for our legislature to actually impeach him. Given that, and that I'm no certain how I've been hurt yet by this, I'm all for more political theater.

I see his Kipling, and I raise some James Russell Lowell: Let liars fear, let cowards shrink, Let traitors turn away

Man if i had a nickel for every time when arguing Cubs and Sox that i brought up the sale of Wrigley Field and the possible kick backs that i would receive from holding up the sale...but i do, like Patty, represent most fans.

Just wondering how much time durning the last two weeks Blago has been working for the families of IL instead of for the family at the north west corner of Sunnyside and Richmond? Did he take a personal day for the time he was in federal custody or did the IL taxpayer foot that bill? My guess is that his schedule is booked solid just savin' Rod's ass.

Those lawyers were the most entertaining daytime TV I've seen in a long time. And could they have picked two uglier Republicans for the rebuttal?

We are all dumber for having heard that. I award him no points and my God have mercy on his soul.

I don't care what he says. He just looks guilty.

gtfo! The man is impotent. I don't really care if he's guilty or not but he lost the game. It's over. Get out.

Kipling would beat this punk senseless. Governor Blagojevich, I knew Peachy Carnehan, I followed him when I was younger, and you sir, are no Peachy Carnehan. Enjoy prison.

When I heard him quote Kipling I choked on the water I was drinking. So now he is a faux-literate to go along with his faux-populism.

If only the useless smurf could have fought, fought, fought to be an effective governor--especially when his whole freaking party controlled the state--instead of fighting, fighting, fighting for that shot at the US Presidency he imagined he could take, or fighting, fighting, fighting to fatten his wallet.
