Re: Blago
He deserved to be impeached but I am not impressed by the media's crusade against him. The media wanted to see him cry yesterday. He didn't. There's something honorable about a man who goes down with his boots on.

6. Exactly - He's been over covered and asked for it
The outcome is sort of sad only because you could see that he was more afraid of losing press coverage rather than his job.

3. There's persecuted/prosecuted folka who don't deserve it who deserve admiration
He's the trainwreck version of the opposite.

5. Some of what he said made me think a little, at least
No doubt this guy is a crook and a half, but when he spoke about being innocent until proven guilty, those words resonated with me.

I feel that there are too many times in this country where cases are tried in the media, and the concept of innocent until proven guilty is too precious to lose. I'm not saying that I know what the answer should be as far as a balance between a person's rights and the right of free speech for the media, because I don't. The media has a right to report factually.

I'm merely saying that we as a nation need to hold dear the concept of innocent until proven guilty.

9. The presumption of innocence is an essential part of our justice system.
However the court of public opinion plays by its own rules, and should.

8. There's nothing honorable about a corrupt man setting himself on fire for attention as subterfuge.

10. 1) He's a male version of Palin
Go away already! Dem or Repug, if ya did something corrupt, get out.
2) The reason this is being shoved down our throats is because it was Obama's seat.
3) The media whores need to find something besides this guy and the 8 babies. No one gives a damn.

People are loosing the shirts on their back...they don't give a rat's ass about (non)news issues.

11. I think you should know...
Blago is a media whore who interjected himself on and in every single thing with a camera - still and video for the last several weeks trying to manipulate people into feeling sorry for him. He is not a well person. He has made himself into the sad, little Robinhood - stealing from the rich to give to the poor BS and comparing himself to honerable men who have zero to do with his kind of corruption - He compared himself to Ghandi, Mandella ans king. He did this shit to himself - he is a grownup who claims to come from "humble beginnings." The ass attended North Western U - not exactly a charm school - His father was the one who had the humble beginnings - oh - and the line he has tossed around about how having a difficult last name being a big detriment - Oh paleeze... Like no one with a slavic name has ever been successful. He is a weasel... :eyes: a big lying weasel. (I apologize to the weasels reading this who have never done anything mean to anyone.

12. He's a major league creep trying to create a following by claiming he
is innocent. He would/will only use all those people he has touched in the last week. He has a narcissistic personality disorder. He's very scary.
