I’m talking about a specific “ALLEGED” criminal here, our former governor Rod Blagojevich. Just in case you are not aware of the person I am speaking about, here’s an excerpt from wikipedia:

Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges December 9, 2008. The charges involved conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. The Justice Department complaint alleges that the governor conspired to commit several “pay-to-play” schemes, including attempting to sell Barack Obama’s vacated United States Senate seat to the highest bidder.

This actually is just one instance in a history of injustices Blago has perpetrated against the citizens of Illinois. Even though “Governor Rod” came from a blue-collar background, and he made campaign promises to initiate change from our corrupt “business as usual” government over the last 20 years in Illinois, it soon became evident after his first election that nothing good was going to change. How he won a second term I’ll never understand.

Anyway, after being impeached from office in Illinois, he has explored many avenues to profiting off of his exploits including the bid to write a book. Now I wake up this morning to find out that he has been hired by WLS Radio (A.M. 890) for a Sunday early afternoon slot. Now we don’t have the specifics of his salary but any amount is too much to listen to this scum prattle on about how innocent he is and how much he deserves to be back in office.

My point is this, why do we allow such people to profit off of their crimes and/or notoriety? Since when is it right to allow a person like Blago to retain a lifestyle that is better than those of his victims? Blago’s victims are the citizens of Illinois, they are victims of his lies, deceit, misinformation, greed, and other crimes yet to be discovered. Time will show that Blago is indeed guilty of at least some if not most of the crimes that he has been accused of. I can only hope that the people of Illinois will wake up and stand up against such people. It seems to me that Blago is building a case for a mistrial by being allowed to discuss his crimes in the public forum of radio, T.V., and celebrity talk engagements as to disallow anyone to be chosen as a non-biased juror. Of course this is all just my opinion and like everyone else it probably stinks.

Now if you will excuse me, I think I hear the gears creaking and grinding from the Chicago Machine as they begin their way down to central Illinois to quiet down a lonely hillbilly who can’t keep his mouth shut. I’m headed for cover!
