BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

Even the Narcissist - Blago - had to admit he was shooting off his mouth too much. (In a feeble attempt to rewrite history!) Rod Blagojevich was convicted on one count of making false statements to federal authorities Tuesday, but the jury could not reach a verdict on the 23 other counts facing the former Illinois governor, forcing the judge to declare a mistrial. U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said prosecutors will retry Blagojevich on at least some of the 23 other counts, including extortion, bribery and conspiracy on allegations that he converted his office into what prosecutors called a “corrupt ring” that included an attempt to trade President Barack Obama's old Senate seat in exchange for jobs and money.   Jurors twice told a federal judge over 14 days of deliberation that they were unable to come to a unanimous agreement on the vast majority of the charges against Blagojevich after a two-month trial.   As it stands, the verdict appears to be a big victo...

What goes around comes around, sometimes sooner than later. Wonder how this will affect his book deal? Maybe O.J. Simpson can help. Blagojevich indicted on federal corruption charges by Mike Robinson Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's plan to auction off President Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat marked the culmination of years of scheming for personal gain that included trying to extort a congressman and pressuring businesses to hire his wife, prosecutors alleged Thursday. A sweeping 19-count federal indictment alleges that Blagojevich discussed with aides the possibility of getting a Cabinet post in the new president's administration, substantial fundraising assistance or a high-paying job in exchange for the Senate seat. Obama's deputy press secretary, Josh Earnest, said the White House would not comment on the indictment, which does not allege any wrongdoing by Obama or his top aides. Prosecutors also accused Blagojevich and members of his inner circle of...

Of COURSE he's writing a book. Don't they all try to paint themselves as victims by rewriting history ? And Blago can cash in too!! What's he going to call it? "IF I DID IT"?? Stop me from laughing until I pass out! How long before Oprah has him on? A publicist for Rod Blagojevich says the former Illinois governor plans to write a book "exposing the dark side of politics." Glenn Selig says Blagojevich signed a six-figure deal Monday. Selig says the book also will detail how Blagojevich selected President Barack Obama's successor in the U.S. Senate. Blagojevich was impeached and removed from office following his arrest on federal charges that include allegations included he tried to sell the Senate seat. He denies wrongdoing. Selig says Blagojevich's book will tell the truth and will reveal information "that will at times be embarrassing to himself as well as to others." Selig says Blagojevich's book will be published by Phoen...

Deja Vu... Even the media-whore they chose was the same! If you are on an aggregator - please click here to view this video and... If you are on an aggregator - please click here to view this video only the reasons for the SAME BLAME-SHIFTING LIES was different. Can you say PSYCHOPATH ?

OMG! I am speechless. This is so blatantly pathological... the audacity! Soooooo... who's lying here? One guess! Blagojevich: I'm the victim of plot to raise taxes Launching an all-out media blitz as his impeachment trial draws near, Gov. Rod Blagojevich compared himself Friday to an honest, hardworking cowboy about to be lynched by a band of black-hatted political insiders eager to raise taxes. fter keeping mostly out of the public eye since his arrest on federal corruption charges, Blagojevich is reversing course with a series of interviews and public statements portraying himself as the victim of vengeful lawmakers eager to toss him out of office. Narcissists are the most horrific liars and they are outstanding at it. They can come up with the most elaborate stories at the drop of a hat and they are extremely convincing. They can also take the smallest scrap of information or the most insignificant incident and masterfully weave it into a major event. The wierdest thing is ...

Major Hat Tip: MacRanger: Rahm Emanuel - Count Down To Under the Bus***UPDATE: Emanuel Spoke to Blago “Several Times”***Video Report Added Possibly within the next week? “President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, refused to take questions from reporters this morning about whether he was the Obama “advisor” named in the criminal complaint against Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The complaint states Blagojevich wanted a promise of a high-level appointment or some other reward for Blagojevich in exchange for Blagojevich naming Obama’s friend Valerie Jarrett to replace him in the U.S. Senate. Emanuel was uncharacteristically absent from Obama’s news conference this morning. He was spotted two hours later in the lobby of Chicago’s City Hall. He was there to listen to his two children performing in a concert with their school, Anshe Emet. A Sun-Times reporter pressed him to comment about whether he was the emissary named in the criminal complaint. “You’re wasting your time,” Ema...

The inscrutable Uppity Woman pointed her readers towards this thread. Great find and excellent enough for a cross post: From Deadenders : The news story below no longer exists. It has been Obamatized, that means it is something that happened, was reported on, is damaging to barry and he denied that it happened there for it must disappear. The OMG is working their collective butts off trying to protect their chosen one. From FOX to CNN they are in full denial mode, nothing may damage barry. By Carol Sowers Wednesday, November 05, 2008 at 10:39 a.m. CHICAGO, ILL. — Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled. That’s one of Obama’s first priorities today. He’s meeting with Governor Rod Blagojevich this afternoon in Chicago to discuss it. Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement. There’s already been speculation about his selection… from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. of ...

Gov. Blagojevich is not just one bad apple, the whole orchard is toxic By Lora Chamberlain The culture of corruption in Illinois is so rampant that the indictment today of Gov Blagojevich is just the tip of the iceberg!!! Please do not be fooled by the media coverage of this event! It is important for you to understand the culture in which Obama was weened and schooled; the big money, wheeling dealing, hard knock school of Illinois politics! Gov. Blagojevich is just particularly open and crass in his selling of favors and gov. jobs for campaign donations but it is and has been going on at all levels of our government; city, county and state, here in Illinois since Abe Lincoln walked the land! Why is Illinois so dang corrupt? There are several reasons, one is that there has been a dynastic maintenance of power and control in the political institutions for decades which has not allowed for reform at any level; the Daleys and Madigans out there, very similar to the situation in Alaska...
