Seats for Sale, Here!

Today, Rod Blagojevich plead "not guilty" to charges of racketeering and other assorted political malfeasance, the most notable being the sale of Barack Obama's senate seat. There are a number of sources connecting Blago to a five million dollar donation from Jesse Jackson Jr., but so far, no formal connections has been made. More importantly, Blago insists that this trial will be a huge win for him. 

"Now we can begin the process of getting the truth out and I can clear my name and vindicate myself."

I'm not sure if he understands what is going on. He gave basically the same speech at his impeachment trial and he lost...unanimously... 59-0. This means that all of his political peers said that they don't care, and they don't believe him. I almost feel bad for him because it seems that he doesn't understand the gravity of a possible 4 million dollar, 300 year prison sentence. I just hope the resort prison they put him in has his brand of rum, and the daily masseuse is a hot chick, and the helper monkeys are plentiful.
