Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has been convicted on 17 out of 20 corruption charges including trying to sell Barack Obama’s old Senate seat.

Oh well. This is what happens when you get represented by someone named Aaron Goldstein.

Yeah, Aaron,
now the blagojedvitch will only get 17 hand-slaps instead of 20 hand-slaps.

On the other hand, Conrad Black was wrongly put in prison recently.

And yet the mainstream media refuses to draw the connection between Blago, Rahm and Obama and/or the history of Chicago politics....

Pete,
They cannot. They are so invested in zero that to admit any hint of wrongdoing would mean admitting that they have been wrong from the start. The Tribune heads the list, having carried zero's water since he ran for Senate.
They have no trouble castigating Blago and Gov. Jello (Quinn), but seem emotionally incapable of the logical extension of those thoughts that leads directly to the White House.

A liberal democrat convicted of a crime...

Which is the first network news show to hire him. I put my money on MSNBC.
