Now if only we can give the rest of the crook politicians we have equal justice.

I guess Blaggy never worked for Goldman Sachs, then he would have gotten a bonus, and a job in the cabinet.

Who here thinks he's going to serve out his full term?

A few times in a prison shower is going to be enough

Arrogant jerk deserved more than that.

Yeah, there's no way that he's going to serve all 14 of those years. He absolutely should, but it's not going to happen.

And it won't be the same kind of prison "Tyrone the gang shooting, drive by killer" is in.

He will be in the pansy ward with Bernard Madoff, and all the other rich criminals.

I say put him in General Population. Then real justice can be served by the inmates.

I still remember the halcyon early days of his oh so public disgrace, when Wonkette regularly referred to him as "Rod (the Fifth Beatle) Blagojevich."

Good times, good times.

How did they get 18 separate charges out of trying to sell just one seat?

I admit to not understanding the US judicial system but why doesn't he have to go to prison until February 16th next year?

nikimcbee · 12-07-11, 04:12 PM

So are you going to visit him?

Bring him some cookies?

Can you imagine Blago in with the general prison population?

"Nice hair."
