Illinois Governor is Toast on Countdown

[packers96worldchamps]

illinois politics are corrupt, OBAMA,

[owg59]

he compared himself to ghandi and mandela. well, both of those men were human beings and they lived on earth. that's where the comparison ends.

[incrediblehulkmovies]

And I thought Palin was stupid. I was wrong.

[emichik86]

haha. the first 1 min was hilarious. olbermann speaks so well.

[pnollen]

finally0726: "I do not believe the Governor of Illinois is the only politician that has ever done this. He just got caught. I feel a particular position in every state should be investigated, and America will see that corruption is not just in Illinois."

I totally agree with your statement.

[turkey12356]

Agrees doublly!!!!

*Shifts eyes* New Jeresy *Shifts eyes* Lousiania... *Shift eyes*

Psst... yes we are looking at you for corruption.

[jalabi99]

Why waste time looking at the 50 states for corruption when the Mother of All Corrupt Governments resides in Washington DC, and is headquartered at 1600 Penn Ave? After all, what do you call someone who instigates a war and makes sure that the company that he once was the CEO of benefits from billions in no-bid contracts, if not massively corrupt?

comment me back

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TALK TO ME RW

[ObamaizGod]

It's all lies made up by the Republicans in order to harm Obama's friends! Shame on Republicans for setting up Blagojevich!!!!!

[TiMMYSQUibbLES]

It most certainly very well could be. He didn't just get caught he was exposed as if there was a predetermined method of how this was going to happen and when. Fox News praised Blago here in Chicago for a while and supported his casino ideas for Navy Pier, but they seemed to report this first over every other news station in town. Curiously coincidental.

[ryancave1234]

iguess you could say his second funniest quote on wire tap was "im going to do what obama did, if they dont give me the money fuck em, im gunna run in 2016"

[ryancave1234]

haha i wonder how obama went from a lawyer who brought suits against banks for not lending to minorites to soonto be president of the US, without ever doing nething and being associated with some of the shaddiest people. US attorney "Illinois is and always has been the most corrupt political state". you think obama got his position legitamely?!?!? haha

[misterwipedown]

Olbermann is a stooge. What a drama queen.

[StoogeWatcher]

Wait, is Olbermann CRITICIZING Rod Blagojevich? That's a first. He never went after William Jefferson or Mike Nifong!

[finally0726]

I do not believe the Governor of Illinois is the only politician that has ever done this. He just got caught. I feel a particular position in every state should be investigated, and America will see that corruption is not just in Illinois.

[frellthat]

The funniest quote from all those taped conversations is Blagojevich calling Obama a "motherf*cker". I think the governor's entire personality and outlook was encapsulated in that one statement.

[bobdiver7]

I wonder if the wiretaps were warantless.

[thekenner]

what a rotten scumbag. take all his money and property, and exile him. do countries still exile people?

[GateKeeper50hotmail]

He'll be exiled to the federal penitentiary.

[thekenner]

he deserves worse than that. he needs to be put in a dungeon, or a gulag. instead he'll get a white collar prison.
