This guy needs to be more than just impeached, he needs to be committed.

I am starting to be convinced that he actually believes his bullshiat.

BatChitCrazy

This is the reason my dad voted commie last gubernatorial election.

He didn't even lose his karaoke rights over it at the old man bar he goes to.

The persecution of this poor bastard brings a big salty tear to my eye.

Lionel Mandrake: This guy needs to be more than just impeached, he needs to be committed.

Actually, that's the plan.
If he can get away with an insanity claim, odds are good he wont see any jail time.

why bother with trials at all anymore?
after all, the news only tells the truth,
and the news says he's guilty.
must be guilty.

by calling the senate proceedings fixed and unfair,
he is admitting that he didn't care to
fix the process until it involved himself.

rod's likely looking for a reason not to bury
the entire lot of chicago politicians, which would
include Herr Presidente.

wow apparently his own private "el" system has a stop in Crazytown


He is really starting to lose it (and no I don't think this is him laying the foundation of an insanity defense. To prevail with one of those you have to show that you are literally incapable of telling right from wrong when you committed the act. Or in layman's terms that you basically would have done the exact same thing if you knew a cop was standing behind you when you did it)

On the bright side, Jack Ryan can show his face again as he's clearly lost the title of Illinois Most Embarassing Politician. Hell, I think he'd beat Blago in a landslide if a special election for governor were called tomorrow.

I hear the ladies go for confidence. This Blago guy must be drowning in them.

I thought it was a poem. A poem with structure as lame as its content.

soze: This is the reason my dad voted commie last gubernatorial election.

Whitney eh? I voted for him too.

I hope that Blago is making the case for his innocence to nobody the poor cop that has to guard his house up in Ravenswood by the end of the week. It's like watching a train wreck.

Impeached Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich compares himself to Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela

2 were shot, 1 was imprisoned for 27 years.
I'm OK with either of those outcomes.

It truly is disgusting. He is playing the victim card almost as well as any righty ever born. Tom DeLay bows to his expertise.

I'm a Democrat. He seems guilty. And crazy. He should definitely not be the governor. Hell, I don;t think he should be the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

JohnBigBootay: I'm a Democrat. He seems guilty. And crazy. He should definitely not be the governor. Hell, I don;t think he should be the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

We Dems don't like when our elected officials are corrupt scum.

The douche is strong with this one. Unfortunately, i think he's also smart enough that he knows exactly what he's doing. It will be interesting to see how this all turns out.

Why the hell is this dragging on? The Illinois Senate should have stayed in session night and day to kick this pinholed scumbag into the gutter.

TheOther: Why the hell is this dragging on? The Illinois Senate should have stayed in session night and day to kick this pinholed scumbag into the gutter.

Because they aren't much better.

He truly is the gift that keeps on giving. He's taking crazy to new heights. And just think, his actual criminal trial is still months away. Oh fun.

CityExile: The douche is strong with this one. Unfortunately, i think he's also smart enough that he knows exactly what he's doing. It will be interesting to see how this all turns out.

Agree. I think his trial will end up looking like OJ's.

I have a killer idea for a sitcom:

Rod Blagojevich is a kleptomaniac. When he gets caught stealing, he accuses the store owners of framing him and using it as a plot to raise prices or something. His roommate, and his lawyer, is Baghdad Bob, who defends him simply by making ridiculous claims of his innocence.

\We'll call it "Been Caught Stealing"
\\Jane's Addiction can do the theme song

Lionel Mandrake: This guy needs to be more than just impeached, he needs to be committed.

You may be right. I don't know if Fark greenlit this, but I saw on Rachel Maddow's show where he was comparing himself to a cowboy in the old west, and went on with the analogy for several minutes. I thought to myself then that the dude must have some mental issues. Or, he knows he's going to get kicked out, so he's just thinking "fark it, I'm just going to fark with the press from now on."

The more I hear about this guy, especially this, the more it makes me think they shouldn't jail him. No, he needs to go to a hardcore mental institution.

But how will you successfully satire his hair? Giant afro? Actual beaver sitting on his head? What do you do?

That is weird. Doesn't he realize that even the sheriffs in the old west were crooks?

TheSelphie: The more I hear about this guy, especially this, the more it makes me think they shouldn't jail him. No, he needs to go to a hardcore mental institution.

I don't think you can fix anti-social.

That's what he wants you to think....really.

TheOther: Why the hell is this dragging on? The Illinois Senate should have stayed in session night and day to kick this pinholed scumbag into the gutter.

Because people get due process, and because the last thing you want in fair proceedings is for everyone to be exhausted and rushing things to try to finish fast. The prosecution and defense get time to prepare their cases, present their evidence, and have it fairly weighed.

He also wants Ted Stevens -- as in, recently corruption-convicted, former Senator-for-life Ted Stevens -- to testify for his character.

Might as well have Duke Cunningham put in a good word for him as well....

67 Beetle: Agree. I think his trial will end up looking like OJ's.

OJ's was a state trial, the Feds, who Blago will face, don't fark around. They won't let it become like the OJ trial. Now if any civil proceedings start up, ohh boy that'll be entertaining.

Lenny_da_Hog: He also wants Ted Stevens -- as in, recently corruption-convicted, former Senator-for-life Ted Stevens -- to testify for his character.

Is that a joke? Ted Stevens? It is funny if it is a joke and even funnier if it isn't.

Lenny_da_Hog: He also wants Ted Stevens -- as in, recently corruption-convicted, former Senator-for-life Ted Stevens -- to testify for his character.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA oh dear god, forget train wreck, he's gone right off the rails and into a residential neighborhood at this point.

Sum Dum Gai: Because people get due process, and because the last thing you want in fair proceedings is for everyone to be exhausted and rushing things to try to finish fast. The prosecution and defense get time to prepare their cases, present their evidence, and have it fairly weighed.

Okay...but then we get to throw him in a wood chipper...feet first...right?

I'm thinking more like Robert Blake's. Or Phil Spector's.

Lionel Mandrake: This guy needs to be more than just impeached, he needs to be committed.

I don't think he is crazy. His crimes go unpunished in Illinois all of the time. He probably forgot they were actually illegal, they are so commonplace.

Nemo's Brother: He probably forgot they were actually illegal

More like he decided to not care the FBI was already all over him with investigations before he went and did more stuff.

I think at this point, he's just messin' with us.

Falcc: But how will you successfully satire his hair? Giant afro? Actual beaver sitting on his head? What do you do?

I'd make his hair a puppet and have it try to be the voice of reason against his whacky shenanigans.

Oh and you know the Republicans are watching this with glee. Blagojevich will be the Albatross they will attempt to use to hang around the Democrats neck. Because God forbid they actually try make a comeback with Ideas and anything that doesn't make the Crazy parts of their party happy. Instead of talking about lowering taxes and using Bonds to finance stuff. All you are going to hear about in 2010 is Blago Blago Blago.

I love the part where he asks the Tribune to use their editorial pages to help him out after he used holding up the sale of the Cubs as leverage to get them to say nice things about him.

Here is part of it from CNN (new window)

Is this guy the most pathetic douchebag in history or what?

One reason why you won't see an OJ type acquittal: Democrats don't want that turd floating back up into the bowl.

Probably true. I just want him to gtfo of the public eye forever.

Oh, bullshiat. The Illinois thing is so played out.

I'm tired of hearing about blago

They can try...but the fact that even before this new selling Senate seats for money thing nobody in Illinois (no, not even Illinois liberals) liked him kinda defeats that.

C-Ray wants to have a press conference with him, so C-Ray can look sane by comparison.
