Fortunately, we can absolutely count on Rod Blagojevich being convicted in both the impeachment proceedings and in the criminal court because he runs his defense team just like he ran Illinois government.
Just today:
1) Makes a major press announcement declaring his righteousness and everyone who opposes him evilness.
2) People suggest he’ll take one action (file a federal lawsuit to stop impeachment hearings) that will absolutely fail. (See also health care expansion, flu vaccine)
3) Someone contradicts 2 who had previously pushed 2 but was convinced the Governor wouldn’t do it.
4) Eventually 2 gets done, but in an even more haphazard so that it not only fails, but fails in a spectacular way.
5) He claims to be the victim along with whatever human shields he drags along for the day.
And for those who thought there weren’t enough human shields given his current status see exhibit A–Roland Burris.
