Blago. Convict or acquit?

Actually that is not truly the choice... to be acquitted, he must be retried. I am opposed to that.

I have no love for or loyalty to Rod Blagojevich, former Governor of Illinois. Admittedly I do not know the truth as to what he did or did not do. (Does anyone?) But my impression is distinctly one of disdain. I find it hard to believe that Mr. Blagojevich was little more than another crooked Chicago politician.

But he is being prosecuted by another man whom I perceive to be a crooked politician... Patrick Fitzgerald.

So what is the difference between the two? Fitzgerald has power. Blagojevich has none. Don't know about you, but I am much more fearful of crooks with power than of crooks without power.
