As a native Illinoisan, I can say that my state produces the most gloriously corrupt governors. I'm so proud. He won't serve all 14 years, but the idea that his oldest daughter is 15 and could be approaching 30 by the time he gets out, should make him feel like the piece of shiat that he is.

He's "unbelievably sorry."

That's correct. I don't believe he's sorry.

Good old Chicago politics at it's best. They should start recruiting their candidates straight out of Joliet.

Don't pull this shiat unless the courts in your state are also corrupt.

With his kind of breathtaking denial, I wouldn't be surprised if he refuses to admit he's in prison.

Between this and Sandusky getting re-arrested, it's a bad day for bad guys. Who's next for a trifecta?

You know that Blag knows that Obama is a Kenyan, and is using a Social Security number that isn't his. Why wouldn't he sell Soetoro out? Guess he doesn't like death much.

I find it hard to believe (based solely on his public persona, of course) that he would honestly care about anyone besides himself (and his hair).

/hope that he's sent down to Marion

This is a delicious comment and I'm going to file it away for future use.

The schmuck deserves it for the way he rode the infamy wave for cash while scoffing at allegations.

Good riddance dirtbag.

You know, you lose all faith in humanity, and then a tiny ray of sunlight like this peeks through the clouds of doom. Perhaps there is hope yet...but probably not.

meh, Im not apologist but 14 years is pretty harsh. I would have been happy with 5-6 or something.

We should hang corrupt politicians from lamp posts and bridges... then maybe they would start to have some respect for "We the people"

I disagree - I believe he's incredibly, unbelievably sorry he got caught.

Aw man,... why'd you have to mention that... I'm no coffee person, but starting the day/nursing a hangover with some beignets and hot chocolate is a fantastic way to greet the day...

I do believe that Blago is our 4th governor to be put in jail, and our 2nd in a row

Perish the thought! How dare you suggest the Nobility, er, executives be subject to the same punishment as the Serfs, er, worker class, er, common people, er, average citizen.

I disagree. Political corruption charges should be carrying far more weight than ANY non-violent drug offenses or any "3 strikes" bullsh*t.

If anything, 14 is too little and DeLay (mentioned above) should still be in jail.

Indeed.

You'd think we Illinoisans would wise up and stop voting for people that were brought up in Chicago politics.
