Blagojevich Lawyers Quit The Losing Battle

A number of Rod "I can quote poetry!" Blagojevich's legal team have resigned, comparing the upcoming Senate impeachment trial to a lynching. Attorneys Sam Adam and Samuel E. Adam -- father and son -- claim they haven't had enough time to prepare and that the whole thing is unfair to their client. Another Blago attorney, Edward Genson -- previously seen getting R Kelly acquitted -- has also left the team. When the dude that got a jury to believe R Kelly didn't pee on a girl quits your legal team that is NOT a good sign. [Chicago Breaking News]
