Parental Advisory Language [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwaNRWMN-F4[/youtube] The whole thing is ugly, but let me point out my favorite part in the absurdity. Some assclown yells “I bet he voted for Obama!”. No fucking shit he probably voted for Obama. Manhattan voted for Obama with 82 percent of the vote and the guy is an African American–part […]
It’s hard to tell if Scott Lee Cohen deserves the Blagojevich award for reality denial or Rod Blagojevich deserves the SLC award for the same: “I’m not ruling myself out as coming back because I will be vindicated in this case,” the 53-year-old Democrat said on “Fox News Sunday” today. “We’re significantly closer to […]
He’s been a class act while on the Cubs and will be missed. No more Cubs blogging until I can express without multiple curses how bad they are this year.
As the news is better understood, it is certainly understood that the government could have presented the case better, but besides a lone holdout, Rod Blagojevich would have been convicted of at least a couple of the more serious charges and perhaps more. Of particular concern, several jurors said Wednesday, was the lone holdout […]

I’m very regretful,” Matusmoto said. Still, other jurors remained unmoved by the tapes and other evidence […]
Hal Turner is a human piece of excrement and white nationalist, wait–I repeat myself–who threatened three federal judges including Richard Posner after a ruling on the Chicago gun ban. It took three trials to convict him largely because he used a defense that it was all political trash talk. In comments I was reminded of […]
Last week.
George Ryan got what he deserved, but he deserved a lot less than Rod Blagojevich. We’ll have to hear what the jury has to say, but there needs to be a far better effort for the retrial. Prosecutors want to retry on all counts.
Knowing something about false statement charges he’ll go away for over a year on that one given the context. However, it is hard to imagine the Federal Government doesn’t retry this case. Unbelievable.
I’m baffled. While I can see the Racketeering charges not entirely sticking-but none of the charges with bribery? And this is only one count when last week was two counts decided….
Unanimous verdict one count Shit Defendants risen Chuck Goudie on Channel 7 doing a good job Appears the jury will still be impaneled if forfeiture is still an issue. Not unanimous on all counts About 5 minutes away, I’ll keep updating this one
According to multiple reports sourcing the court.
