14 years for Rod Blago.

Link (http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=13&articleid=20111207_13_0_CHICAG68594)

After being defiant most of the time and proclaiming total innocence, the lawyers must have detected the worst because there was suddenly a feeling of remorse and sadness and begging for forgiveness today... to no avail. My favorite line from that article:


While Blagojevich will likely end up at a minimal security prison, he'll be largely cut off from the outside world. Visits by family are strictly limited, Blagojevich will have to share a cell with other inmates and he must work an eight-hour-a-day menial job — possibly scrubbing toilets or mopping floors — at just 12 cents an hour.

Oh well. Don't guess 12 cents an hour will buy a lot of hair care products.

He's so oily he'll slither out of that menial work detail somehow.

Hadn't realized Obama's sugar-daddy Rezko got 10.5 years.

14 years. Not bad. I was hoping for 15 to 20. He should get 10 years simply for being a the biggest pr!ck ever.

That makes 4 ex governors sent to prison in the last 38 years. At least we are consistent...

I am so sorry that you have to live there. I remember driving around the airport area. They have the most annoying new streets there that were probably mob mafia approved with tons of corners cut, most notably that every manhole does NOT line up with the rest of the road. Thus, you're hitting every d@mn manhole like it's a speed bump every other stoplight :mad:

Perhaps after the 14 years Blago can sell his seat to someone.....maybe Geitner or Holder!

The only seat selling he'll be doing in the short term is not polite to bring up here.

Now if we could just get Obama's *** locked up, we'd have yet another corrupt Chicago politician off the streets.

What I found funny is that Jesse Jackson Jr. got a free pass on this.....he was the one on the buy end.
