| #12 What a douchebag... Ill. gov tells AP that strain is like Pearl Harbor CHICAGO – Illinois' embattled but defiant governor turned to the history books to describe the emotional strain on him and his family, comparing his arrest last month to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. "Dec. 9 to my family, to us, to me, is what Pearl Harbor Day was to the United States," Gov. Rod Blagojevich told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday. "It was a complete surprise, completely unexpected. And just like the United States prevailed in that, we'll prevail in this." |

| #11 Once he leaves office and loses that Illiois State Police protective detail, Blago will be meeting with Jimmy Hoffa. |

| #10 It isn't a trial, it's an impeachment. Whole 'nother thing. Not a court. But nice try. |

| #8 Even criminal, guilty bastards can get railroaded. But I don't care enough about his hairy ass to dig into the reports to find out. I suppose at this point it's the business of the citizens of Illinois. |

| #6 WLS Radio in Chicago offered the Blago a job if he resigns. Does the Quid pro Quo in Chicago never end? |

| #4 I wouldn't try that in state court as the court should be smart enough that when the legislative body tastes blood theirs could follow quickly if it decides to over reach the separation of powers. And in federal court, they should be wise enough to grasp even a modest control is called for on what is state business and what is federal business to retain the veneer of what the Constitution says. |

| #2 Only thing he did wrong was to get caught on tape by a federal prosecutor. Which is enough. He'll be gone by mid-February. |

| #1 "I'm not going to resign, of course not," he said. "I've done absolutely nothing wrong." Not by Illinois standards, he hasn't.... |
