Like I said already I haven't really paid attention to our Ousted governor's retrial since it commenced. I just got to say this part of the trial which was before federal prosecutors
cross-examined Blago was just bizzarre:
Defense lawyers are trying to thread a needle in their questioning of
Rod Blagojevich, portraying him as at times extremely shrewd and at
other times a loose cannon when plotting strategy to appoint a successor
to Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate.
“Did you discuss the idea
of appointing yourself (to the Senate) and going to Afghanistan to hunt
down Osama Bin Laden?” Blagojevich was asked by his attorney, Aaron
Goldstein.
Blagojevich managed to answer yes before prosecutors
could object and U.S. District Judge James Zagel sustained the
objection. But the point was made for jurors: Blagojevich often rambled
about ridiculous things when discussing the Senate vacancy.
Well that's what I wanted to get at in this post. As far as reading what happened at Federal Court in downtown Chicago, I need some time to digest this looooong report from the Tribune!
