Instead of running for governor, perhaps Blago should have joined the military.
WLS-AM explains this line of reasoning:
The ousted governor is on the stand for a fifth day Thursday, addressing the most explosive allegation against him - that he tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat. He denies that.More from CBS 2 Chicago:
Defense attorney Aaron Goldstein asked if he'd ever talked to a deputy governor about appointing himself to the Senate, then traveling to Afghanistan to get bin Laden.
Blagojevich said, "Yes."
WLS Radio Court Reporter Bill Cameron says everyone, including the jury, laughed at the bin Laden comment.
Federal prosecutors wasted no time painting Rod Blagojevich as a habitual liar on Thursday as they began cross examining the former governor at his corruption retrial on Thursday.Related posts:
"Mr. Blagojevich, you are a convicted liar, correct?" Assistant U.S. Atty. Reid Schar asked, shedding his normally reserved manner and raising his voice in anger.
After U.S. District Judge James Zagel overruled an objection from defense attorneys, Blagojevich answered "yes."
