Blagojevich: The disgrace of Illinois and the nation

"I will govern as a reformer." Rod Blagojevich, inaugaration speech, 2003.

What a liar.

But don't blame me. I vote for Republican Jim Ryan in 2002, and Judy Baar Topinka, another Republican in 2006.

To all of the skeptics who visited here in the last few years. I am right, you were wrong. Governor Blagojevich is really that bad.

True, in the eyes of the law, the Chicago Democrat remains an innocent man, but it appears the federal government has a very strong case against "Blago."
