The View: Governor Blagojevich Interview Part One 1-26-09

[JamesRideout123]

@sonnyjr90 Yes he attacked the Bank of America.

[mamabearroars2]

@halflinks

Many people seem to have listened to news coverage before the trial and decided that the exciting accusations on a guy with very thick dark hair MUST be true and even before the trial that he is 'Guilty.' 2010 American Justice - Hype, Emotion, Fear, Entertainment!

[caseyjones2222]

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck..........

[damedley75]

Good for Barbara Waa-waa. She did a much better job than the View B-team hair-tusslers.

[enjoyitbro]

"Espically since shes just been fired from her job" LMAO ouch she didn't need to bring that up she only did it cause she thinks Rod is a total douche

[nuber11blade]

2:02 "Se-se-sell a Se-senate seat"

[strawberrywithcheese]

wow. the media is so biased these day. like really they were protraying this man as doing such wrongdoings....my goodness he is not even able to bring any witnesses in to testify on his behalf. This is uncanny and down right unjustified. I mean guilty or not, he should have the right to a fair trial? Innocent till proven guilty. I do hope that justice prevails.

[smilingseal]

nola456,

The point is not the the person ( Blago )

Rather the unfair and unconstitutional process in which politicians can undo the will of the people. Twice elected by the people, not the politicians.

Not allowed to call witnesses because of the other investigation.

Not allowed to air the "whole" context of the tapes.

Cant you see that is unfair to anyone in America.?

[beerasaurus]

He thinks he can wriggle his slimy body out of this?

[dontrell4635]

I don't know if the man is INSANE or NOT! But i will say he seems sincere. idk

[jjwer6]

Yep, just like George W

[dontrell4635]

whatever

[dontrell4635]

noooo u dumb ass

[daddyofsmack]

you're a fucking idiot...it's because of people like you we're in iraq and people like you will embrace the dumbfuck policies obama will impose which will completely strip you of your rights

[dontrell4635]

im right

[gcbarone]

What an amazing spin artist. I hope the public uses this as a learning experience as to how manipulative politicians can be.

[gcbarone]

and have I mentioned that the Senate will not allow me to bring witnesses?

[eddiejour]

When the people want a public official out, the public official has to simply leave. The governorship is not an entitlement.

There are no dictators in the USA. Enough of all this attention that this man is getting. He has nothing new to say and is making a fool out of his interviewers.

[smilingseal]

the fact that he was elected twice by the 'people" of the state of Ilinois speaks volumes.

who do you trust the most?

the VOTERS or a bunch of politicians?

Something is reeeeeally wrong around here!

[nola456]

I'm from Illinos and there is nothing wrong here. Almost all of our politicians belong in prison. When the choices on the ballot are between a crook and a crook, you end up with a crook. None of us were surprised. We knew he was a douche. But please understand, our choices were between a douche and an even bigger douche.

[svthai]

I dont see the right wing nuts screaming bias liberal bias interview.

[jasonms55]

There is a certain point where one can not deny the truth..

[NurseEmGOP]

what a douche bag

[thunderwoman]

I think he's probably guilty... but his hair is innocent.

[shwadiana]

I live in Illinois, and let me tell you he's been corrupt from the start. How he got in office I'll never know. He's been selling government positions and doing shady deals his whole time in office. Just from watching this interview you can tell he is guilty.

[agnosticautonomy]

I dont have an opinion on this yet because I dont know enough information. I agree with the governor that he need to be given a fair stance. Most people have already formed an opinion (the media had a huge role in this) based on what the FBI says they have without actually analyzing the evidence. I am going to wait before coming to any conclusion.

[johnnychopsocky]

Dude. DUDE.

Seriously?

This guy is so not innocent that he radiates guilt beams.

[agnosticautonomy]

I am still a firm believer of innocence until proven guilty. I have heard the snippets of audio, but I would like to hear everything and then judge everything for myself. I am still confused why they have not released teh audio yet.

[nola456]

Illinois politics as usual...

[yzrider2785]

Exactly... People who aren't from chicago don't realize how criminal our politicains are. I hope he squeels and takes a bunch of them with him. Daily should also have gone down along time ago.

[nola456]

People don't understand how crazy Chicago is. I've tried to explain to people that this was really was not a surprise to anyone in the state of Illinois. They look at me like I'm crazy! I've lived in both Illinois and Louisiana...I'm starting to think I'm only attracted to states that only have insanely crooked politicians.

[ccisugarloaf]

no matter if he is guilty or not Governor Blagojevich should be aloud to bring witnesses

[kegidwani]

He was allowed to present witnesses and he choose not to submit any by the deadline or ever.

[A4est]

My dad was from your state and I have many relatives who live there. I will ask them what kind of Governer he's been.

[Shoops3]

This guy is embaressing to this State. He doesn't even know his own daughter's ages. On another program he said his daughters were a different age.

[rock4ladies]

I think you are rather embarrassing, no wonder u can't even spell the word right, and it's boring listening to this old fart. Blago for life.
