Blago finally got what he said he would all along, “the truth will come out and I will be vindicated”. Jurors seemed to be deadlocked and announced a verdict after two long weeks. Guilty of only one count, of the 24 total charges against him! However, it would be the count about, well, he wasn’t telling the truth! It is funny that they did not use that reasoning when determining they could not reach an agreement, on all the other counts.

Chicago politicians have “allegedly” been involved in corruption for years, and what Blago did was no different than the others. His only problem was… he wasn’t too smart! But was he just smart enough to get off on pretty much all counts against him? It is no secret, many believe he is guilty of many things, but was the jury just thinking what we all do…they are all corrupt! Why charge him with a crime, when so many have gotten off?

Well, whether you like the outcome or not, he probably will go down as the most “honorable” guilty politician out there. He claimed his innocence all along, even with tapes of his “alleged” criminal activities, numerous witness accounts, and plain foolish decisions. But who really is the idiot here? He actually was sort of “vindicated”, many smarter politicians ended up doing time.
