So says Il Gov 'Hot Rod' Blagojevich (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081219/ap_on_re_us/illinois_governor).

He pledges "<span style="font-style: italic;">I will fight. I will fight. I will fight until I take my last breath.</span>"

Thanks Rod. Keep the state tied up w/ this for as long as you can. Make them even more useless than they've been the last few years under your 'leadership'.

This is a great Xmas present.

maybe he can tie it up until his term ends naturally. then he can retire with his dignity and his pension.

Unless the legal case continues, he's found guilty, and his pension is yanked as he spends time in prison.

I honestly do not think Nixon was crook, though he used tax money to meet demands from black-mailers.

Meh. This is America, he's entitled to the presumption of innocence, same as everyone else.

and if he's impeached and found innocent?

I totally agree. This nation has the bad habit of ruining lives with mere suspicion--of course, the odds of corruption in Illinois are pretty high, but I still support the "innocent, until proven guilty" approach.

"I am not a crook; I merely do thigns that are against the law." -- Blagojevich's view of reality.

Hi #7!

It is not for us to judge him. It is for a court of law to prove that he is a no-good guilty rat. :)
