If only the people of Illinois would have looked for substance rather than appearence think how much better off this State would be at this time. I too ran into Blago years before his rise when he was still pressing the flesh for his father-in-law. I’ll give him this, he could turn it on as fast as he needed in order to get people to like him. He was everything for everyone until the bill was placed on the table.

I wonder how long it will be before a book he writes will be at the publisher.

Chicago is the biggest small town in the world. So for Dan, the author of this article, to have had pre-fame Blogo sightings is not that odd. I had a friend from the Southside that had an Irish immigrant Grandmother whom he quoted…….it was only one quote and it went like this. “Always remember your roots”.

What significence would this quote have in relation to this article?
Guys like Blogo make the old country look pretty good. For example, Potatos were great when you had them.

This is the finest and most insightful column I have read about Blagojevich. This Manufactured Nobody truly was an Empty Suit, even if he was a $4,000 Empty Suit. It’s too bad the voters didn’t have this true insight into Blago from the beginning, and it’s too bad the press doesn’t do a better job of giving these candidates a thorough examination before it’s too late.

I fear we’ve not seen the last of Blogo. He may even continue to reach out and touch us from prison. When he gets out, he will find work. This new job I predict will be in one of many industries that have been incorporated into a quote most often attributed to Hunter S. Thompson.

The…..”Place industry here”…. business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.”
