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 vindication now.”
He can’t run for an state office of any sort so this would mean a run for Congress, Senate, or President. Now, I’m pretty sure he’s going to end up in a prison for a fairly long time given what we know about the jury now. It might take another trial or two, but he’s going to prison.
Anyone who thinks he’s plea bargain is about as deluded as Rod Blagojevich.
The Clown show is going to the Daily Show tonight so we’ll see if Jon tears him apart after a fairly softball interview last time. Admittedly, part of the issue was that Blagojevich went for small details which Stewart wasn’t ready for, but my sense is Stewart doesn’t like to be caught off guard and won’t let it happen a second time. You can suggest questions here.
I’m really ambivalent about whether to watch Blago on TDS tonight. I’ve avoided looking at him in general because I’m ashamed at having voted for the SOB twice.
Blago really doesn’t shun reality because the reality is that by going on the TV circuit and playing the fool he gets all the attention he can muster. In addition he shows the media as very much uninformed about his case.
No one confronts him, no one points out what he said in his conversations, no one points out that he is now a convicted felon, no one points out that all of what he promises to do in his second trial he promised in the first and didn’t do it.
Sadly, it is the media that shuns reality and they do so because the real reality is that clowns and train wrecks are what people really want to see.
