Just finished watching Anderson Cooper interview Rod Blagojevich on CNN. Anderson was not having any of RBs nonsense and actually said (paraphrasing), Im happy for your family that you are out of prison, but Im not buying your bullshit.
My laughing at the exchange startled the wife and the pets, so I had to post. If you didnt see it, Im sure there will be links at some point.

(21,856 posts)the bullshit word was mentioned a couple of times.
I like that anderson asked him why he didn't look at clemency for thousands when he was government and it's the same old "Well When It Happened to MEEEEEEEEEEEE" then he got it. and now he's talking about "fake" this and that. A true trumper now.
Thanks, Icy! Thats what I saw. And, when you watched ACs facial expressions throughout the interview, you knew hed done his homework. He seemed irritated to call RB out so often and thoroughly, I surmise, because he couldnt believe Blago was reaching and failing so hard!

Kathy is amazing and did nothing wrong. I bet if she did that photoshoot today no one would even notice. It was all about timing. She is still blacklisted from all network tv stations.

(11,728 posts)I am not naive about problems within the justice system. You need look no further than Don Siegelman in Alabama. Blogojevich is no Siegelman. He tried to sell a damn Senate seat and shook down a bunch of people for campaign contributions. In Siegelman's case, both Democrats AND Republicans had serious problems with the prosecution. In Blagojevich's case both Republicans AND Democrats knew the bastard was dirty.

(537 posts)Having been born in Chicago, he really didn't do anything so shocking. It's standard procedure. Everyone knows it. Some speculate Blago had a little tiff at a family gathering and pissed off the father in law. The timing was impeccable
