#1 "but certainly, there's the same sense of entitlement, the same sense of thinking I am superior. I can do whatever I want. I am not going to be caught,"

Sounds like typical donk/librul traits to me. And, it reminds me of another sociopath. That one is better at grasping the whole of "not being caught" and creating that reality by not only internalizing it, but also by diligent externalizing by any means of the least resistance.

#2 Some are wondering if there's something wrong with his mental acuity.

Can'tcha see? He's no crook, he's just off his meds!

#3 Oh, definite sociopath, no question about it. They're usually better at not getting caught, though...Hilary Clinton being an example.

#4 Simple greed and gross ignorance mistaken for a mental condition? I think that defense has been attempted before. Blago is little more than a YouTube reality clip of the Chicago machine that brought us "The One." The Italian and Sicilian gansters of the prohibition era were supplanted by the Poles and others who moved into the "legitimate" business of Cook County politics. If you would like to donate, driving south from Wisconsin simply take Interstate Highway-90 and pitch in a few coins every 17 miles at the tollbooths. Expect more frequent stops as you enter Cook County. Welcome to Illinois, The Land of Lincoln.

#5 I said it above but I'll say it here: Blago is not sick and he's not mentally ill.

He's a Chicago pol.

Reading the transcripts of those wiretaps, that's how they talk. They're all like that. I lived in Chicago for a while, and my alderman, Toni Precwinkle (still alderman), had a mouth that could strip paint when needed.

#6 Lost in all this is the fact that Barry tried to push Val on Blago. Blago resisted and the rest is now on it's way to being history.

Seems to me like Barry started this latest round of pay-to-play when he tried to get his player her payola in the form of a senate seat.

#7 Senate Candidate # ?. A most interesting piece of trivia HERE:

Excerpt: Val Jarretts story starts in Iran, born in Shiraz, the daughter of Americans, Barbara Taylor Bowman and James Edward Bowman. Her father, a doctor who specialized in genetics and pathology, helped found the first hospital in that city. When Jarrett was five, the Bowmans and their only child moved to England and a year later to Chicago. The Bowmans bought the home they still live in on South Greenwood Avenue in the Kenwood Historic District a block away from the Obama house.

#9 Seems to me that his actions are very rational - for a Chicago politican.

#16 The only thing wrong with him...ARROGANCE! That and his eyes are too close together. You gotta watch those people!

#17 With reference to Rod's eyes...photo #14 (above) has his right eye looking at The One and his left eye looking at the camera. How does one accomplish something like that?

#18 Him left hand ain't been knowing what his right been doing either. It's a lobotomy feature.
