Blagojevich to hold 2 p.m. news conference
Gov. Rod Blagojevich scheduled a news conference today to make a statement to the media, his first public appearance since he was arrested last week on federal corruption charges.
Blagojevich has avoided the public eye for the most part since his arrest, but in recent days has told reporters camped outside his house that he is eager to talk to the people of Illinois.
The advisory released this morning from the governor's office said only that Blagojevich would make a statement to the press at 2 p.m. at the James R. Thompson Center in downtown Chicago.
It was not clear if he would take questions.

I'd love to hear Blago launch some F-bombs at the hoard of reporters. :evillaugh:

Geraldo is on Fox's M & J Verdict saying that Blago might not of did anything wrong....where's the crime?

Trying to sell a U.S. Senate seat isn't a crime, Jerry Rivers? :whatever:

That is my analysis as well -- to say "this (the Senate seat) is worth something" does not necessarily mean that soliciations were made for money.
My bet -- Blago walks. But he is in Edwards territory politically.

To say "this has value and I want to get all I can" is not the same as saying "if you give me x million dollars I will give you the seat." It sucks, but the law doesn't work that way.

He's denying any wrongdoing. Quoting Rudyard Kipling. :whatever:

If he had any sack at all he'd be quoting THIS and emulating it.
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.

Blagojevich: 'I have done nothing wrong'
Gov. Rod Blagojevich said today that he "has done nothing wrong" and will not resign in the face of federal corruption charges.
"I will fight. I will fight. I will fight until I take my last breath," he said. "And I'm not going to quit a job that people hired me to do because of false accusations and a political lynch mob."
Blagojevich, however, did not get into the specifics of the political corruption charges he faces, saying he's "not going to talk about this case in 30-second sound bites...on the TV news."
"I am dying to answer these charges. I am dying to show you how innocent I am," he said.
"I intend to answer every allegation that comes my way. However, I intend to answer them in the appropriate forum: in a court of law. And when I do, I am absolutely certain that I will be vindicated," Blagojevich said.

I hope he hangs in there. The more he's in the news, the more people will be reminded that Democrat politicians from Chicago aren't to be trusted.

Except the one who can do no wrong.

Yes, the more he hangs on, the more press he'll get.
It galls me to see the media give crooked Dems a pass when any Republican caught in a scandal gets his own graphics and nifty "-gate" by CNN.

This is the sticking point! Actually all he did was "offer" to sell the seat! It would only be a crime IF he actually did it!
Why in the hell Fitz didn't wait until he had him by the family jewels only suggests he is trying to protect other criminals,( I.E. ObamaWannaBuanna!!!!).

Ah, the Kipling defense.
