Rod Blagojevich Jokes

Wednesday December 10, 2008
Blagojevich Plea Bargain "Rod Blagojevich was arrested for trying to sell a seat in the Senate to the highest bidder. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. And folks, if convicted, he could wind up in prison, where his seat will be sold to the highest bidder." --Conan O'Brien

"Spitzer was a lot more fun and a lot easier to say, too. Yeah, when former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer heard about Governor Blagojevich, he said, 'Hey, you call that a scandal? No, I don't think so. At least when a New York governor goes down, he has some fun on the way. '" --David Letterman

"They say he conspired to sell the U.S. Senate seat held by Barack Obama. Remember he left it vacant? He was trying to sell it to the highest bidder. Yeah, now, I don't want to say he was brazen about it, but he did it on eBay." --Jay Leno

"It was a very stupid thing to do. Especially since the last governor of Illinois is currently in prison for exactly the same kind of thing. And not only that, think of it, you're in Chicago, you have Barack Obama's seat for sale, don't you go directly to Oprah? Who would pay more for Barack Obama's seat than her?" --Jimmy Kimmel

Blagojevich Bail Bonds "I'm just not giving it up for f***in' nothing. I'm not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it. I can parachute me there." --Blago, talking about Obama's Senate seat in a wiretapped phone conversation

"Give this motherf****r Obama his senator? F**k him. For nothing. F**k him.'"

"I should say if anybody wants to tape my conversations, go right ahead, feel free to do it…I can tell you that whatever I say is always lawful." --Blago, the day before he was arrested

Blago needs to know that the people spying on him will cause a dropped call or lost Internet connection if the conversation does not fit their end goal. They don’t keep a transcript of dropped calls etc.
Mob mentality takes over and Blago’s out and on his way to jail.
I’m sure America will sleep much sounder tonight knowing that the government is wasting valuable manpower and money looking for snipes.
What happened to the Constitution?
