She’s live tweeting Blagojevich’s life story.
Painful work, but someone has to do it. It will make the book easier though.
Update: She noted the filibuster as well.

Eric Zorn reminds us of Blagojevich’s flailing in front of Trump
As #blagojevich charms and dazzles on direct examination, I invite y’all to remember how he wilted under Trump’s semi-tough questioning.
Strategy: Bore Everyone To Death
Progress Illinois
Update 1 (10:49 a.m.): Blagojevich dives into a lengthy diatribe of his life story. From his first job as a shoe shine boy at 9 years old (“it teaches you how to be more responsible with your work”) — to his NBA aspirations (“reality check” when he was cut from Lane Tech’s basketball tryouts), the verbose former governor spent 25 minutes just to get to his “life story” as of 1974.
.
It is possible he thinks he can filibuster his trial through the rest of his life.
Blagojevich on the Stand
If only there was video in federal courtrooms. For those in the room–is the prosecution drooling?
“I think when I was governor, of the 50 of us in America, I was the only one who could spin a basketball on his finger,” Blagojevich interjected.

Hijackers Surprised To Find Selves In Hell
Underworld officials said they have not yet decided on a permanent punishment for the terrorists.
“Eventually, we’ll settle on an eternal and unending task for them,” said Lord Androalphus, High Praetor of Excruciations. “But for now, everyone down here wants a crack at them. The legions of fang-wombed hags will take their pleasure on their shattered carcasses for most of this afternoon. Tomorrow, their flesh will be melted from their bones like wax in the burning embrace of the Mother of Cowards. The day after that, they’ll be sodomized by the Fallen and their bowels shredded by a demonic ejaculate of burning sand. Then, on Sunday, Satan gets them all day. I can’t even imagine what he’s got cooked up for them.”
Though I always wondered what the point of 72 virgins was anyway.

Breitbart Defends Posting The Rants Of 9-11 Truther Michael Moriarty
February 09, 2011 4:28 pm ET by Eric Hananoki
On Tuesday, Andrew Breitbart defended his decision to feature the writings of former Law and Orderactor Michael Moriarty, who believes the September 11 and Oklahoma City attacks were inside jobs. Breitbart said that while he opposes Moriarty’s 9-11 conspiracy theories, he believes in “more voices, not less, unlike the left.”
“If he decides to try and take his 9-11 Truther stuff to my site, he’ll be laughed off the site on that argument alone,” Breitbart said at a talk for The George Washington University’s College Republicans. “He fights a very selective battle on that thing, and he’s just one voice out of many. I believe in more voices, not less, unlike the left, that’s why I created the Huffington Post.”
Breitbart added: “I have more voices, not less. I didn’t fight when people exposed that. I didn’t know that when he first started writing, but he does not have a platform to put that on my site.”

Of course, those of us who know the truth, know it was actually Michael Moriarity behind the attacks with his abilities shown in The 4400:
