Governor Rod Blagojevich joined the bandwagon of those who want President Bush to commute the prison sentence of his predecessor, Republican George Ryan.
His fellow Democrat, Sen. Dick Durbin, got things rolling earlier this week when he said that he is considering asking Bush for the commutation.
Blagojevich, in his 2003 inaugural address lied to Illinoisans when he said "I will govern as a reformer," is under federal investigation himself.
"Blago" hasn't been indicted, let alone put on trial, but if he does end up behind bars, will his successor by asking President Obama for a get-out-of-jail-early-card?
Meanwhile in downtown Chicago, convicted political fixer Tony Rezko keeps talking...

aaaaannnd....Boom goes the dynamite.
Guess we now know for sure why Blago favors limited punishment for corruption. Oh, and one of the tapes where he's caught saying "F--- them" in reference to Obama's team just might bite him in the ass when he's asking the president to commute his substantially longer sentence... Then again, so will the fact that he tried to sell the INCOMING PRESIDENT'S SENATE SEAT....
