Rod Blagojevich, the thoroughly-corrupt and thoroughly-disgraced former governor of Illinois, is making the rounds with a new book. Jon Stewart was one of the few TV hosts willing to book him.
Blago, exhibiting the boyish charm that got him elected, contends that prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has been very selective in releasing edited snippets of his taped conversations. He says he will be fully vindicated when the complete tapes are released.
“Let’s hear the tapes,” Blago said. “Release the tapes. Tell the prosecutor to stop holding those tapes hostage.”
Somebody is corrupt here. It’s either Blagojevich or Fitzgerald. Maybe both.
But only time and the tapes will tell.

They've been trying to turn this guy Balgo in to the moral equivalent of Roman Polanski but I'm starting to warm up to him. Lets give him a buzz cut and turn him into a Republican fund raiser.
just one of them is corrupt? c'mon...
