  • Noone in the universe has that hair other than him

  • Freakin amazing how he just sticks to his guns and denies everything despite the fact they got the idiots voice on tape making deals!! Give it up loser! Kind of reminds me of the "Not Me" ghost from the Family Circus cartoon. Then again Illinois politics are a family circus! I'm ashamed to admit he was once my governor until I moved to Iowa. I did not vote for him either time!

  • Almost all politicians work this way, as little as 1% and as much as 85-100%. Memento mori.

  • lucky for Bloggo the clown stupidity is not yet a crime.

  • Jan 29 Blagoyewicz gave a speech which sholud change our history.

    God Bless him for being so Brave and Bold and was able in only 45 min to give us a lesson about:

    Love,familly,respect,politics,­thruth,... rubish in our politics,how they w $ r manipulating our public.

    Blagoyewicz for President!

  • getting drunk off the Blagoyewicz kool-aid hey?

  • Bill Clinton abused power when he murdered 5000+ innocent serbian civillians. Clinton was impeached, he is the real looser crook.

  • This guy is a lyin' bum fuck, step down loser!

  • He is no more guilty that b.o. Chicago politics are in their blood...what a disgrace!!!

  • Is it just me or does Blagojevich have the same hairstyle as Lego people?

  • Now that's funny!!!! LMAO!!

  • never trust a Yugoslavian ;D

  • @fakencrazy

    Dude, a Yugoslavian named Nikola Tesla engineered the electricity that made it possible for the computer on which you typed that comment to exist. In fact, he predicted the existence of the Internet, not to mention the entire modern world. Blago is a bad representation of his heritage--don't use him as an example to judge by, b/c there were people like Tesla who were far better than him in every respect.

  • @DuchessAliana yugoslavia? sorry yugoslavia didnt exist during tesla

  • @DuchessAliana OMG! Tesla is some kind of band from the 80's. Every knows Thomas Edison invented electricity. LMFAO!!!  Get with it dude!!! HAHAHAHAAHA!

  • Somebody should throw a shoe at him.

  • I keep watching this over with Shaggy's "Wasnt Me" playing in the background. :)

  • He's got stones, i'll give him that.

  • Just another day of politics in IL. I love Chicago, but wish it were in another state. Although Chicago politicians are just as bad. We should make one of the state polictical parties "criminal" at least we wouldn't have any confusion.

  • not another corrupt "politician"....i dont know about you all,but i am so sick of these people.we need to start burning em at the stake.maybe theyll think a little bit harder before they act.seriously...we put them in office & all they do is rob us blind.that person gets caught,gets a slap on the wrist & what do we do,...appoint another crooked s.o.b..if i was to go out & pull some of the stunts they do,theyd throw my ace in prison for life.

  • They said he was trying to sound like some mafia wanna be when he was being recorded. saying things like "It's Golden!, I want manney" yeah, he really said it like that.

  • Illinois. Politics in Illinois. In a class by itself.

  • This guy is a psychopath. He needs to be impeached ASAP.

  • they're all corrupt

    mass distraction

    nau anyone?

  • He is innocent and will be proven to be innocent.

  • He's also a sweetheart:)

    How can anyone that gorgeous and that great to listen to ever be guilty?;)

  • AHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • sounds like "I am not a crook!"

  • he is sooo guilty! that fucker!!!

  • To:unabashedproxy- Stay away from my "numbnuts". I don't care how Hungry you are!

  • Does Illinois have a prison for bad hairstyles?

  • not yet, I'll keep looking

  • Put the S.O.B. in w/O.J.!

  • Yeah...and Clinton did not have sexual relations with that woman.

  • I can't believe no one has assasinated him yet

  • to pak4L: It's a given that white supremists are mentally retarted. Have you ever seen a white supremist get into the ring with a Mohammed Ali and box? Hell NO! All they do is move their mouth.

  • spankeydmonkey- It's 'supremacist' numb nuts!

  • That sonofabitch belongs in prison. He's nothing but a liar and a theif. He's acting like a BUSH.

  • How is bush a thief? Most politicians are liars, so he just falls under the rest of politicians. Illinois is the laughing stock of the States, since we are so corrupted.

  • Bush committed War crimes.

  • Congress approved. Bush cannot execute such an order on his own.

  • I love how even though they have him on tape being guilty he has the cajones to say these lies.

  • crooked asshole, hes guilty and im gonna love watchin his ass burn

  • Go Blow Me Bitch is a Republican plant.. hes guilty as hell.

  • I am not a crook.

  • o he is da most guilty sob. get new hair, its so bad. holy crap u r GULTY!

  • He's innocent until proven guilty ;D I think there's a good chance he'll get away with it, even if he did do the crime.

  • That's an illusion. If you're innocent until proven guilty, you actually can't be imprisoned (which is punishment) while awaiting trial.

  • That's why in most cases bail is allotted. It's not really punishment either. It is simply acting as a temporary holding area so to speak, until the actual trial.

  • What are you talking about?!?? Of course people who are possibly guilty of serious crimes need to be imprisoned so they cannot commit these crimes again, etc. In cases like this, of course, bail is very low and he will not stay in jail. It is obviously for the protection of the public.

  • this should be on failblog

  • "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

  • Blago's got ball's. you've got to admire that. He's putting heat on the dem's and the osama adminestration.

  • we all knowthat he's guilty

  • He so cute. lol

  • What's also unbelievable is the lawyer he picked...the very same one that kept R. Kelly out of jail!

  • He looks like Donald Trump from another country. Look at the hair! His hair says hes guilt!

  • not guilty!!! clinton is guilty!!!

  • I love Blo for standing up, he's raising the heat. Obama is not yet president and he's all tainted in contraversy.

  • blagojabitch

  • i will fight, iam a liar, I WILL FIGHT, yes iam a liar, AND I WILL FIGHT

  • llll...iii...aaa...rrr

  • I love his voice. He sounds so kind and patient. And he doesn't sound like some New Joisey politician; he is very erudite.

  • mmmm papa love you mmm papi

  • wow like our past 4 governors from illinois have been involved with this kind of crap

  • they come here to cause trouble, to protest, to shit and piss all over this country.

  • You like ashkenazim sausage, don't you?

  • I don't know? Tell me why White Nationalist's like McVeigh and others have joined in arms with the Arabs.

  • little arrogant piece o,dogshit, kinda like dickstainy said.

  • Lying sack o'shit.

  • Those fucking Arabs continue to launch missiles at the jews and than get on their period when the Israelis retaliate. Sons of bitches should get stomped out of the area completely. The UN (useless nations) is worthless. WE should pull out and save our money!

  • The US should pull out and that would stabalize the economy. I hope the Arabs defeat the jews. In fact, they have been fighting for over 40 years, It's about time the Arabs destroy the jews.

  • he looks like mayor quimby from the simpsons

  • Aha! Ha! Ha!

    Rod makes me giggle with all his outlandish stories.

  • My Hero lol... this guy is inspirational.. Happy Holidays

  • "If I have done any wrong, it's being on the wrong planet." - Governor Blagojevich

    He's not far wrong on that score.........

  • It looks like Brett Baher with a black wig.

  • Blagojevich hopes people will begin to believe his lies.

  • i wouldn't be surprised if half this over-sized government is corrupt anyway..

    and i have a feeling this whole Blagojevich issue is being taken advantage of as a distraction from real issues, like Israel launching missiles at civilian homes(residential areas) killing nearly 400 people and seriously wounding over 2000. if something makes Israel flinch, they immediately respond by massacring hundreds of INNOCENT people at random!

    A FUCKING MASSACRE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

  • With the CEOs and this loser they feel above the law...it is a 'power' thing. In life, there are followers and then there are leaders. It is simple!

  • Serbian people are like that selfish fucks! Never trust a serb!!! Never trust serbs America!!!!!

  • it's not about the tabloids. if any of you people have been paying attention to the news he's been stealing money from the government for his selfish ass.

    these are hard times in america where no one has money and the economy is unstable. assholes like this caused the economy to suck. all they care about is stealing money from the communities and state.

    he has that cocky thing about him that makes me want to just deck him in the face. he is guilty and he knows it. :O

  • dude if u cant prove anything dont say shit to any1 about these bull shits things that are going on or u will be pointed

  • Final verdict:Guilty

  • man i am so digusted with people who are financially WELL secured but just do anything for more extra cash, SHAME ON YOU GREEDY BASTERD

  • He's Exaclty like OJ, he actually believes he's guilty. they fking caught him on TAPE! im embarrassed to live in IL.

  • Where's the tape? Have you listened to the tape?

    There is no evidence. People just believe the sensational tabloid headlines then drool and think they're smart because they can repeat what the Jews tell them to think.

  • No evidence? Who is this - Blago's attorney posting online? I read the 77 page complaint from the Feds. This has nothing to do with Tabloids, Jews, or approval ratings. If this guys did what they alleged, and solicited money for political quid pro quo, he's a crook by the LAWS! WAKE UP!

  • Please post the link to this 77 page complaint or PM me with it. I would like to read it as there is NOTHING in the papers that suggests any sort of bribery, foul language yes, bribery no.

  • He has done nothing unusual. He was immediately set up like a bowling pin by his own party after the election. Illinois had one of the lowest Nat min wages. He raised it twice to one of the highest. Downstate had severe unemployment. He lobbied moving thousands of state jobs from Chi and Spfld downstate. His party backers consider him a crusader and set him up from within for a hard fall.

  • Um, Blago set himself up, what with the near government shut down over the budget fight and acting like a dictator to railroad his pet projects through. Evidence suggests he was involved in pay-to-play politics waaaaay before this.

  • I don't believe he cued up the tape and set himself up. The mere fact that the evidence was secretly recorded proves he felt he was amongst trusted insiders and could speak candidly. As for the rest of your reply, That is every single pro polititian before and after Blago.

  • Yes, I literally meant he taped himself...Actually, he's got to be either ridiculously arrogant or just plain nuts. He was told he might be taped, and assured everyone a day before being arrested that he had nothing to hide. And sure lots of politicians do this stuff, just not with such disgusting hubris. And lots of politicians doing it doesn't make it any more okay.

  • It was his Evil Twin!

  • he expects ppl to believe him, lol. it took him like 2 weeks to respond to the charges. if he was really innocent he would'nt have waited that long to respond.

  • "That whole thing about "this is about my financial well-being" that was actually my doppelganger"

  • "I am dying to address every allegation.. but I have no comment." This gives me so much faith in our new president. Thank you Illinois for giving us the Democratic political machine. People bitch about Bush but if this had happened during Bush's election, do you think it would be buried as much as this story has? Do you think the press would give Bush as much protection as they give Obama? No way. What a fucking farce. I do not think Obama is involved in this, but what if he is? Hmmmmm.

  • It's likely you had no faith in Obama from the start so why would you now. People play the "guilt by association card" so much with Obama, it would be laughable if it weren't getting to be a despondent nuisance

  • what a jerk-off

  • "I'm not guilty."

    How do you fuck with that attitude?

    He's obviously guilty and he knows it, but he's so badass about it.

  • BS. COMPLETE. BS. BULLSHIT. lol

  • hah i live in illinois and he epic fails as a gov

  • yep

  • Motherfucker we know what you sound like.

  • that is fucked up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What an assclown this Blago-bitch is ... does it really take this long to work out how much hush money Barack O'BlahBlah will pay this twerp to shut him up ?? ??

  • By the time they proceed on this case Blagojevich will be like 85

  • He's guilty of having a stupid hair-cut as well as corruption.

  • haha, how da hell da he get 11% approval rating (i think)? What da hell is he doing???

  • Approval ratings are just biased surveys conducted to get the answer the surveyor wants. I could conduct a survey and get an 89% approval rating if I worded the questions correctly.

  • LOL

  • He didn't do anything wrong. This is nothing but a Kosher shake down. Rahm "I love to kill Palestinian children" Emanual gave Blagojevich a list of people he would like to see in Obamas empty seat in the Senate. The governor has every right within the law to appoint who he wants in case of a vacant Senate seat. This is the law but Rahmbo thinks otherwise.

    There is no incriminating tape. All this is, is tabloid sensationalism gone out of control.

  • its totally in the law to appoint, but is it ethical to give it to the highest bidder or even receive money for it. thats the question my friend

  • I still haven't heard any incriminating evidence. They just say he's guilty of selling the senate seat with absolutely no proof what-so-ever. You're just buying into tabloid sensationalism.

  • and all you are is rod's cousin. hows that high paying government job going? oh and btw "they have no evidence" they have him on tape saying that if he doesnt get enough money for it he'll take it himself. oh, but theres no way he wanted to sell it. no evidence right? learn your shit before you talk shit you fucking idiot.

  • I don't give a shit about blago.

    I just haven't seen any evidence. Point to this "evidence" don't simply state there is evidence. Look how stupid this sentence sounds:

    "Evidence shows Bush is an alien lizardman from planet draco."

    Would you believe that? I mean, there is "evidence." Show me the evidence or concede the point.

    This is just a kosher shake down as emanual gave blago a list, for which he refused to use.

    nypost com/seven/12132008/news/politi­cs/obama_aides_blago_chats_143­979.htm

  • I Agree this is a Kosher shake down of the likes of bugsy siegel and mayer lansky.

  • hopefully he takes his last breath soon

  • i seriously don't get why he won't just fucking give up already. he's been proven wrong over and over again, and yet he still insists that he didn't do anything wrong. it's people like him who make this country the shit hole that it is.

  • Chicago politics at its best.

  • He's as innocent as Madoff

  • i love this guy. he a smart man.

  • LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSEE­EEEEEEEEERRRRR!!!!

    They finally got him after so many years!

  • Thats one creepy muthafuka..

  • It's the same the whole world over/

    It's the poor what gets the blame/

    While the rich has all the gravy/

    Now ain't that a blinking shame...

    I remember that from an old Daffy Duck WWII cartoon. Every time I see celebrities, public officials, and "higher-ups" doing stupid shit, I think of those lines.

  • Souroush posted:

    "People who have not completely dedicated themselves to the political world have no room to speak on such matters. You guys are fucking gebronis."

    Thus proving you know nothing of American politics whatsoever.

    Sorry, the USA was founded on the notion of civilian sovereignty and voice, the idea that we are sovereign from our government rather than ruled as in a dictatorship, and that we also have the right to challenge them and have our say when need be.

  • I get so tired of politicians who do this. "I haven't done anything wrong," or "I am guilty of no criminal wrongdoing,"

    If the guy can't even honestly say "I was not trying to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat," he might as well be admitting to being guilty.

    It's such an old and pointless tactic. They can't say "I did not _____(insert crime here)" because they did, so they say "I did not _____ (insert roundabout way of not acknowledging the crime at all)", and expect us to not notice.

  • So true.

  • He is guilty. He is guilty. He is guilty.

    Anyone wanna lend me a $1,000?

  • hes guilty of course. how can u lie about something if u got like 2 other people who also helped?!

  • Ever notice how Blagojevich looks like a Who from Whoville?

    Basically he's the Grinch who tried to sell Obama's Seat. Except white...and with a voice like Nixon "I am not a crook!"

  • i couldnt tell if i was looking at his face or the back of his head.... he has to change his hair style

  • ur guilty....big time serbian...bitch.

  • yeah ur guilty for getting caught up

    Obama knew wtf was going on

    yeah sure no one knows what happened

    guess what

    no has yet to be

    put in prison or is still jailed

    kiss my skinny yellow a**

    rOses~

  • I think eceryone here needs to step back from Mr. Blagojevich's nuts. He is clearly a great man, and this wire-tapping stuff is absurd. It is conspiracy. Blagojevich is a political genius, and I know because I am a professor of political science at Yale. People who have not completely dedicated themselves to the political world have no room to speak on such matters. You guys are fucking gebronis.

  • lol. if youre a professor of political science at yale then i'm the fucking president of the united states. please, i'm a current college student studying political science. i'd love to read your research.

  • You should know because you are a professor at Yale? Please man! Get over yourself!

  • Ohhh, I'm a poli sci professor at Yaaaaallllleee, and I think it's JUST WONDERFUL that a sitting governor attempts to sell the SENATE SEAT of the incoming President of the United States to the racketeer with the biggest bank account! Oh, it's such a GREAT THING, and he's a GREAT MAN, and if you haven't dedicated your ENTIRE LIFE to reading books about what a FINE SPECIMAN Rod is, then you just DON'T UNDERSTAND how many tongues should be licking his ballsac!

    Right, Doc. Riiiiiiiighhhhht!

  • noone thinks he is guilty....he is innocent,he is the governor you better show respect becuase you have no evidents

  • You're right; they have absolutely no evidence that he is guilty so they should not judge!

  • GUILTY!!!

  • WHAT A JACK ASS! He has been a terrible governor for years! He hasn't done crap for Illinois. Chicago has some of the most crooked politicians in the US! I can't wait til he gets impeached!

  • Lawyered up! Ride him out of town on a rail just after tarring and feathering him.

  • OBOMA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am not gay

  • Obama* lul

  • C'mon man! They wire tapped your home. You don't have to explain anything to us. We understand you wanting to make a little side money, but you got caught. It's the American way for you to have your day in court, but you will probably be fired. I don't think the citizens of Illinois will put up with bribery. We'll see.

  • Theres not B

  • True story: When my family and I went on a vacation to Springfield, we visited the capitol building, and they let my brother sit in the governor's chair just because he asked. On our way out, I asked him how he had come up with the idea of asking, and he said "Fortune favors the bold."

    For me, it's kind of funny to think about that story in light of this.

  • I like turtles!

  • ya, explain why you abused the children memorial hospital. explain the trouble you've caused. explain your bribes.  get the **** out of this country.

  • OBOMA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am White

  • Your being white doesn't make your opinion matter more.

  • I LOVE KFC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am White

  • OBOMA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The U.S. is more and more corrupt every day. We have terrible white-collar crime that brought down Wall Street (although people like to pin the blame on George Bush), and now this, and the guy refuses to step down.

  • He didn't do anything wrong...

    He TRIED to do something wrong, and THAT's what makes him guilty.

  • You are guilty you mangy slob. Everyone south of Chicago hates you you thieving son of a bitch.

  • I'm ashamed that i'm from Illinois because of this crook; I hope he gets impeached ASAP!

  • What a fool! And some people made fun of Sarah Palin, they guy is bad.

  • i cant wait to see him in the Prison !! guys we have to agree that no matter who do some thing wrong we have to send him to Prison R or D they both take Bribery !! all i hope that Mayor Richard M. Daley is next !!

  • They have him on tape trying to sell the position!!!! Seriously, this is amazing.

  • 0:23 should be..i am fucked..i am fucked..i am fucked...I AM FUCKED!

  • lolzy i agree

    XD

  • hahaha

  • I'd rather have 100 Blagojevich's than 1 stinking Texas Asshole that buried this nation in a decade long war that ruined our nation inside and out.

    Get it through your idiot republican heads:

    Obama had NOTHING to do with this. You guys are so riddled with scandals, with gays, with pinhead alaskan hockey moms... that you BEG for something to take the heat off your failed party. This won't do it.

    Enjoy the next 8 years. Yeah, I said 8.

  • Lol, I feel ya man. It's really irritating. Regardless of who it is. It could be Pee Wee fricken herman and they'd still manage to find a way to connect Obama to him. All they need to know is that he's a Democrat and is from Illinois, and therefor Obama has a connection with him.

  • *cough Clinton* : )

  • He's like a dying cat gasping for its last breath.

  • i swear this guy is the real life version of mayor quimby from the simpsons. he's got the hair.
