  • Corrupt scum. Deffinetely belongs in jail along with many other of our government officials.

  • @AOAWHATSUP i bet he wasn't expecting that conviction lol. i was

  • He said he would be vindicated and have his day in court. He got two trials 18 guilty verdicts and only 1 Not Guilty. That's not what I call vindication. Letterman was very sharp on the interview though1

  • When he says he will be vindicated he seemed to mean it, Maybe years from now DNA evidence will exonerate him.

  • @Leetsnugglage

    too...late...hahaha

  • MEANWHILE.......WALL STREET BANKSTERS ARE LIVING LARGE AT YOUR EXPENSE CHUMPS!!!!!!

  • lol he was in a pistachio commercial

    *opens suitcase filled with delicious pistachios*

    "Rod blagojevich does it the innocent way"

    xD

  • what a jerk, he never should've been elected.

  • Comment removed

  • They forgot to mention the famous shoebox money

  • letterman forgot WATERGATE

  • Wow, going to the media does make him look a bit desperate. Even during Celebrity Apprentice, he was defending himself a lot when his goals should have been more focusing towards the charity he was rooting for. Letterman took a shot at the "on in the worst way" bit, and that was humiliating too.

  • i saw him in church right now! seems like a nice guy..... he loks like john travolta

  • What a shameless thug.

  • what a shameless liar, lol he even looks like a crook.

  • Make endless $60 over and over

    blessedmiraclemoney.blinkweb.c o m/

  • legoman

  • The guy's popularity must be higher now than any time he was in politics. Probably 70% nationwide.

    Politics is ugly, nasty and crooked - everyone knows that at their core. Blago knew it too, played the game bare-knuckled and others didn't like it. The feds tried to fuck with him politically He knew how the real rules worked, called them out on it, and kicked their ass.

  • this guy has great courage

  • @smurfarooney2003 Surely your joking..

  • @Leetsnugglage by that logic they ALL belong in jail..... not none of them..

  • My man Rod!

  • Serbia!!!

  • notice how this is the only clip with no commercial

  • haha dave at the end.

  • Blago for fucking president in 2012

  • @wilderalt oh good idea! :D

    he try to sell the senate seat.

    he going try to sell the whole country.

  • watch 911 pasta tony, rod and katarina

  • watch 911 pasta tony, rod and katerina

  • Bluelagoonavich should have sex with an intern.

  • such scum 

  • U will b vindicated my ass. Tht hair with the man attached is a hoot and a half

  • Blagojevich- 'Had I known "that" when I ran the first time, I wouldn't have run."

    I don't know what's more unbelievable here-- the fact that Rod claims he didn't KNOW that the Illinois governor's office has a vast history of corruption, or that he claims that if he would have known about the corruption, he would not have run.

    And this guy is getting a retrial?

  • What a good day. Blago is now a convicted criminal, and one of the scummiest politicians the state of illinois has ever seen.

  • Gov. Rod Blagojevich is now a felon, less than 11 weeks before the Nov. 2 elections for governor, one of Illinois' U.S. Senate seats and other state and national offices. It is unclear how Republicans will use the conviction of a Democratic ex-governor in their races

  • @Paisa604 the republican would be hard press to do so. illinois governor ryan is in jail and hes a republican. blago is loved in illinois. he did a lot.

  • The idea to include acorns as an ingredient in consuming Sarah Palin's hot log of steaming poop came from an intelligent man, all of whom the working class of Chicago and Illinois Proper place on a pedestal. That man, is former Illinois Governor Milorad R. Blagojevich. He suggested using acorns in my cooking.

    In addition to acorns, Sarah Palin's hot log of steaming poop tastes even better when seasoned with Mr. Blagojevich's dandruff.

  • letterman forgot former state of illinois auditor, orville hodge, and the former illinois secretary of state, the legendary, SHOE BOX PAUL POWELL,,,,,,,who didn't trust banks and wall street much,,,,,,,,,,,hahahahahahaha.­.......THIS" OLD STYLE " IS 4 U BLAGO,,,,,,GO THOU AND SIN NO MORE! via con dios my fellow chicagoan!

  • they just got him on tape talking about selling the senate seat he actually didn't do anything

  • Blagojevich for President!

  • Blagojevich did more than any other retard here, he is the least corrupt compared to Daley or George Ryan etc, or assholes like Bush, Sarah Palin etc.

    His did more favors for the poor family by approving the ALL KIDS INSURANCE PROGRAM!

  • Blago is the man!

    Congrats for your victory Blago, you did nothing wrong its just that theu were jealous of you and wanted you out of the office.

  • there is nothing democrats can't do. If this dude is charged for the corruption deals he made, then the public will see more dirty corruption deals that involved obama and other democrat officials in Chicago.

    Of course, democrats have to buy media and juries to cover this story through secret deals. Yahoo is one democrats' tools.

  • Of course, obama does not give a shit about anything anymore. he just continues to waste and live off tax $ as much as he could because he knows he has two more years to enjoys the freeloading life style.

  • How could you not like Blagojevich, rather than sell out trillions of tax dollars to oil executives (the republicans) or insurance companies (democrats), he just makes a few small time mob real estate deals for very small relativly inexpinsive bills. Even all the canidates he was shipping to for the senate seat were relativly good qualified people.Out of Obama, Bush and every member of congress he still is the least corrupt. Plus he is very intelligent, and a brilliant politician and oppurtonist

  • Jury should be out soon..

    GUILTY

  • Blagojevich, you rest in prison for the rest of your stupid life ! LOSER !!!!

  • @OfficeSpace07 shut the fuck up loser. As much of a swindler as he is, at least he became a lawyer, became a governor, made something of himself before he screwed up. rather than you, living at home with your whore of a mother and being a fucking retarded loser with nothing better to do that talk shit about someone who couldnt care less about what you had to say about him so fuck you

  • @OfficeSpace07 keep dreaming

  • Love this guy. He jumps around on that chair like a chimp on Ritalin. Dave just eats his lunch.

  • For all those that criticize, read his book. He speaks the truth in my view.

  • It's not that I agree or disagree with Blago's politics one way or the other that causes me dislike him, it's his constant use of hyperboles that drives me nutz. The man has made himself look as smart as a box of doorknobs once I started following his career. Why anybody would have ever voted for him for ANY office is beyond me. Blago recently said of his possible vindication " If there is one thing that I have learned is that I talk too much ". DUH !!! Freaking Elvis wannabe. Get a haircut dude

  • I Don't believe that Blago was really born in Chicago IL. When you research his birth records he was born in Cleveland, GA Babyland General Hospital with all the other Cabbage Patch Kids.

  • what a putz!

  • It's the Illinois oath of office.......serve as Governor for a few years and then report to jail.

  • Call him Blago. Or just refer to him by his Federal inmate number: 47398221

  • Nothing is so pathetic as a man so desperate for fame. He actually thinks he is a celebrity rather than a criminal. Pathetic.

  • Blago is the worlds biggest media whore

  • Dave is the best.

  • Is Dave a savant?  The guy is genius.

  • I can't believe he can even lie to his children, what kind of message does that send to them, along with that, they will grow up asserting their father's innocence and because of his imprisonment, they will be unable to move on from it, these kinds of lies will ruin his kids' lives.

  • This guy is really inspiring he makes you feel like even a complete dumbass can become a successful corrupt politician.

  • Wow. I think he's so cool. I really hope he doesn't get more than two life sentences to be served consecutively.

  • "Had I known that when I ran the first time I wouldnt have run it, I would have stayed a congressman" ?

    He sounds like Hilary Clinton.

    WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SERBIA!

  • Rod Blagojevich trial will begin on June 3rd 2010 in Chicago Illinois USA.And Rod Blagojevich will be found not guilty.With all the corruption in Chicago and the FEDS are not inducting Mayor Daley??? This is what you call selective prosecution.

  • Hmm. Lying and cowardice, as American as murder and cheating. Find one American with honor, I rest my case.

    SEE: TERROSTORM

  • rod is the man

    get the fuck off his back. let the trial take place, this government is fkd and he is the least of the problems.

  • Blago is a G.

    Fuck Letterman and his unfunny humor.

  • lying piece of shit fuck dems fuck obama

  • That guy is a asshole lier. who saw him on the Celebrity Apprentice last Sunday? He is the worst lier I have ever seen.

  • he is a very charismatic dude but not one person supported him at his impeachment...and every single person supported his impeachment...he had not ONE supporter

  • Him and his wife are nice people, he IS NOT GUITLY. You may ask how I know that he isn't, but how do you know that he is? Go ROD

  • GO BLAGO

  • Blagojevich SUCKS! i live in IL

  • go ROD go.... u done nothin wrong..

  • His wife is pretty hot

  • The EYE is WATCHING Rod

  • Blagojevich is such a G ;)

  • catch his Sunday show on wls 890 broadcasting from Chicago. wls streams from the net also

  • A**hole deserves to be in jail.

  • GUILTY!! jhaja

  • Obama is Black and White. It was many White Christian voters that won the election for Obama...not the Black vote.We knew that his allegiance wouldn't rest solely on the Black side...but the White side as well

  • @MrMonsterkaraoke True, both black people AND white people voted Obama into office. However I find it quite amusing now that Obama is President, the American racial code has changed according to you. Mulattos have always been considered Black and discriminated against, called niggers, forced to sit in the back of the bus, etc. Now that Obama is President as predicted, white people want to claim his white side. If Obama was any regular Joe he'd be a Black man.

  • @princess11222 Haha...the point you make works both ways. Many Blacks didn't claim him until it was looking closer that he could win it...Blacks were the ones calling Obama "cracker" and posting stuff youtube. Many YouTube videos were taken down by people and replace by videos of praise showing Blacks loving him all of a sudden. YOur deluded as much as I.

  • @MrMonsterkaraoke Not true. Second, white people are the ones that invented the American racial code, which is one drop of black blood makes you whole. Time for you to make up your mind.

  • @princess11222 EXactly!!! HAHA and Blacks are the ones that still choose to enslave themselves to the "one drop" rule.Whites also said at that time that Blacks were unable to be as intelligent as White people.Whites don't claim Obama as White just cause he won....look at his DAMN European White features...it's obvious that he is not fully Black. Tiger Woods looks more fully Black than Obama does.

  • @princess11222 Plus White people are not intimidated by Obama's Black side either...he ain't gonna go Black Panther on us or get all African American focused.He's a "neutered" Black man if anything...haha....yeah Whites are not scared at all.Now if PUFF DADDY ran for presidency....there would be NO CHANCE of that happening. White America happily voted for half White Obama.

  • @MrMonsterkaraoke So you're intimidated by black people? LOL! So I guess black people are ok as long as they are white acting like Wayne Brady or Bryant Gumble. Obama, does not have European features. Look at his negroid nose and when his hair grows out it's an afro. Sorry. There's not any color difference between him and the average African American. Your perception of color is way off basis for whatever reason. Makes me think you haven't seen many African Americans.

  • @princess11222 Mentioned his negroid nose? HAHA...might as well mention his thin European lips. You're the racist here...it's obvious that he is mixed you moron. Just as I didn't need it in the press to tell me that Mariah Carey is mixed.

  • @MrMonsterkaraoke You have the nerve to be picky but mention Mariah as an example? She's not half African and Caucasion. Get your facts straight. Mariah and Obama are not the same mix.

  • @princess11222 It don't matter....the point is that Mariah claims to be Black because of the same "one drop" rule you believe in. She is also Irish...so she has the same right to claim the "one drop" rule for her Irish side if she wanted...people are full of dumb-asses.

  • Blagojevic for President!!

  • We are not voting a serbs man for presidents. Serbs are war criminal during Kosovo War.

  • @USAAIRPOWER

    ? Isn't Kosvo in Serbia?

  • He didn't have a clue about IL political history ???

    WOW........

  • Well can go either maybe his charges will prove to be false and then........shit they impeach him......but maybe he is guilty. We have to wait, and i think he should sit too, he talks too much, probaly why they arrest him :)

  • "the more you talked,the more you repeated innocense,the more i said to myself;this guy is guilty"ha,funny..

  • Blagojevich is a douchebag. He lies on instant, cowardly speaking in his irritating voice. Hopefully he gets in prison soon.

  • blago 2012!!!

  • David Letterman is a Shill for the nwo.

  • This man was Frame because he was against the Federal Reserve

  • Dave knows the truth! Just ask all the women on his staff,

  • Check out We Are Change Chicago's new video with Former Governor Rod Blagojevich

  • /watch?v=XKL8BpgJexg

  • so im guessing they want to arrest him because his idea will work

  • sorry Dave..

  • I believe this guy is innocent.  Why is the public allowing themselves to be brainwashed by the media??? He was impeached because he wasn't following protocol...now how difficult is that to understand. Now, they are going to kill the messenger. Wake up!

  • @principles101

    your evidence please?

  • I hope he can stand up and rat on the whole nest of spider flies growing underneath the skin of American politics. This is not just a problem of one bad apple. This is a situation of a barrel of bad apples, and one getting thrown out because it's bad.

  • Calm down and give the guy a fair trial. How amazing would it be if he was proven innocent? He would go from villain to hero is a second! I'm not saying he is innocent but before we call him an embarrassment we should listen to both sides of the case.

  • jewish criminal stealing my money

  • Cause you are a bag of assholes . WHY ILINOIS ? For corruption !

  • Democrat Scandal Update! Blagojevich unbelievably has joined the cast of this season's the Apprentice with Donald Trump while awaiting trial. Cartoon character

  • There is a difference. Larry Craig never resigned after allegations sex scandal. He decided to retire and is no longer a senator, but he was not forced out of office either.

  • wish he was our governor.

  • People from Illinois think they are such hot shot ! What a fucking sheep !

  • Yeah, I'm from Illinois and we don't think that. In fact I'm from Chicago and I still don't think that. No one that I know thinks that. You're truly misinformed. We are disgusted by our state and city government. We are being taxed just to get the state and city out of debt. And our taxes don't really go to their debts, they go to the corrupt politicians and their families. So no, we aren't hot shots. We look like a bag of assholes. Thanks.

  • These are non-vernal signs of discomfort when Dave confronts Blagojevich.

    1.) The most obvious is the constant wringing of his hands.

    2.) He touches his tie at least two times during the interview which is a sign of discomfort, which can also be said when he touches his cuffs several times as well.

    3.) He reaches for the cup of water on the desk but never drinks from it.

    4.) He pushes his tongue out, which is subconsciously like a baby saying no to the teat.

    Notice when he does these things.

  • sounds af if you are studied in NLP

  • On Dec. 9th, 2008 the fabricated story about him was released throughout the media portraying him as a scumbag. What they DID NOT TELL YOU is that on Dec. 8th, 2008 (the day before) he held a press conference stating that he has informed all state agencies to suspend all business from BANK OF AMERICA because they had received $25 BILLION from you (the taxpayer) in the unbelievable BANKSTER BAILOUT. He justifiably thought that was WRONG. Of course most idiots take what comes from TV as gospel.

  • I am sure that we all have done worse things than him trying to get a little bit of cash...if he did do that in the first place.

  • Rod Blagojevich 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Good ol' Dave!

  • Blagojevich hair will kick Chuck Norris ass

  • This guy is a flat out liar. It's so obvious.

  • You can tell when people lie from watching an interview someone else made on tv? Boy you should be a judge; we'd have cleared the entire judicial system in a week.

    The nation was founded on all accused are innocent until proven guilty along with the state having the burden of proof and ALL evidence is to be allowed in trial; why are some tapes being withheld from a court case? It's almost as if you were accused of homicide through circumstantial evidence but DNA proving otherwise is withheld.

  • This guy is a lying piece of shit he will rot in Hell.

  • Makes you wonder why they wont allow the full tapes in court though.

  • You know, I would laugh after all of the crap we've given him, that is everyone in America...Polical figures and regular folks, that in the end he's innocent.

    He's trying very hard to prove himself, maybe he has innocence? I don't doubt he TALKED about stuff, but he never did really do it and that is slightly unfair so far.

  • This man is a good man. He has to make a living and he is trying his hardest. Dont attack him he is doing what he must.

  • I guarantee you wouldnt say this if it was a republican, if it was he'd most certainly be in jail. Demmies like him always give the public the shaft.

  • but why wont they allow the full tapes to be played in court if he claims that will prove he's innocent

  • Probably because they dont. When they come out he will most likely claim they were doctored. I just dont see how the FBI goes to a federal judge for an arrest warrant on a sitting governor based on false evidence and the judge issues it. According to Rod, thats because Patrick Fitzgerald, the FBI, the Judge, the Illinois State Senate and House of Representatives are in on it. As a resident of Illinois, its really embarrasing when this guy goes on tv like this.

  • I know im in illinois too.

  • This is true...such is the life of an American politician. He was probably set up or something.

  • haha...at first I thought you said "if I see him in prison, I'm going to break his fucking nose."

  • Letterman was great in this interview

  • i think rod is mad cool .

  • Blagojevich got what he deserved! What an Idiot! David was great!

  • most awkward interview ever...

  • Rod Blagojebitch

  • letterman sliced, reflected and dominated him; best interviewer around

  • He is great! But Barbara GRILLED The shit out of him even more.

  • He was impeached on a fucking 113-1 vote that's both parties impeaching him. It's not exactly a. "omg the republicans are just accusing him of something and making something out of just a few phone call transcripts". I mean when you get convicted on a 113-1 vote in a state that's controlled by democrats then it's not one party

  • I think this guy has done nothing wrong and certainly nothing more than any other politician

  • I stated my OWN opinion. I don't care about YOUR research. This is why I have a mind of MY own. I won't be bullied. You can't beat ME. Get over it!

  • falfies, I'm a lifelong Chicagoan. If you lived here, believe me, you would NEVER say that! Did you disbelieve or discard the evidence that Letterman gave, of how many of our governors were disgraced? Republicans as well as Democrats! You have no idea how bilateral Illinois' corruption has been and can be. Rod is not being ruined by anything other than his own behavior and refusal to take responsibility for it.

  • I did my own research WITHOUT doing what the media tells me to, and I have to say, as much as I don't want to, I believe him. I honestly think he's telling the truth. He really is being screwed over, and I'm sure they(Republicans) will win, and he will go to jail. That's the flaw in the system!

  • And what exactly did you find in your own research (which comes directly from the media anyway) that proves he has done nothing wrong? Because from MY own research, it's practically impossible to not find this man guilty.

    It's not Republicans who want him convicted, it's both party that recognize the corruption.

  • when he walked on stage in the original broadcast the band did "My Way" by frank sinatra. don't know if i've ever laughed so hard

  • LYING DOUCHEBAG.

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • Why is everyone laughing???? hahahahhahahhhhahahhahahahhaha­hahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahah­ahahahahhahahahah

  • Yeah, because NOT VOTING is going to help our Country. That makes perfect sense!

  • I agree with almost everything you said, but not voting just makes things worse.

  • hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ hahahahaahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah

  • let me back that: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  • I swear, he's out of touch with reality. Listening to him, I almost believe him. After he was impeached, he was supposed to have a press conference and answer questions. He went to the podium, told the reporters that he would take questions in a minute, and then gave a speech about all the great things he did as governor (sounded like a campaign speech), then he recited a POEM, and immediately walked off stage without taking any questions. He's unbelievable.

  • I love it. He says "I did nothing wrong" and people in the audience burst out laughing.

  • Blago is so cute!!! I hope he does not have to go to jail, he would probably commit suicide in the pen

  • good!

  • lol hes such a weirdo, my mom works at the airport and her and her friend had him on a flight and he is like to "dont you know who i am?" and they are like "yeah?" then he is like " arent you gonna ask for my autograph?" and they laughed and said "no?" hahaha

  • what an asshole.... trying to sell obama's senate seat..... i was once on a flight with newt gingrich and didn't want his autograph.... who would want a politician's autograph.....

  • man.........blagoyabitch know hes fucked, this is ALL he can do to salvage his personality before they lock him up.

    cant shit a shitter

  • i would like to know who he was going to sell the senate seat to i bet it was al sharpton or jessie jackson jr but we will never know because the liberal media doesnt want us to.

  • blogajivch will arrest you all. you will all be handed down lengthy sentences from his appointed judge. and i will be there to report you and i will laugh when the sentences are handed down.

  • ok i see that blagojevich is not really innocent, but letterman should have remained nuetral during the interview or be at least polite. I mean, why did letterman invite him to the show and then ask him why did he come? I am no fan of Blagojevich but he deserved respect. Thanks for posting the video. :-)

  • why!!! He set himself up (Blagojevich). Like Letterman gives resoect to anyone!!!

  • ALL politicians are liars and cheats. You should never invite them for dinner. Your daughter will be knocked up, your food will all be gone, and for some reason, your asshole will hurt in the morning.
