Breaking: Rod Blagojevich Guilty

The television guys are reporting that former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has been found guilty on 17 of 20 counts.

He’s been found guilty of various counts of wire fraud and attempted extortion. He was found not guilty on one bribery count and there were two other counts the jury couldn’t reach a verdict on.

If the Genie from Aladdin was here, I think he’d say: “300 years of incarceration ought to chill him out.”

In fairness though, Jeff Toobin on CNN is saying that Blago is more likely to face 8 – 10 years in prison. That’s enough time to find out if hair gel is an effective lubricant.

Meanwhile, MSNBC has moved onto a report about Casey Anthony — because a random white lady allegedly murdering her child is way more important than the major corruption trial of a former Governor of one of the most populous states in the Union.

And now CNN is on the TSA story. CHECK YOU PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE! God, I hate television news.

This is why print media can’t be allowed to die. Here is an actual report, from the Chicago Tribune. They note that Blago did not show any emotion, but his hair started screaming, “you’re nothing but a lot of talk and a badge.”
