"SNIP.....

Chicago Tribune: “In his winding ‘homecoming’ speech and various media interviews since having his sentence commuted Tuesday by President Donald Trump, Blagojevich has woven a web of half-truths and, to critics, hypocrisies around his newly found freedom. He has promoted unfounded conspiracy theories, attacked his former prosecutors and downplayed his own criminal behavior.”

“And as he has been since the moment of his arrest, Blagojevich remains unrepentant. If anything, a lengthy incarceration has only strengthened his belief that he is the victim of political corruption and not the perpetrator.”

“He also seems emboldened by Trump’s bombastic style, which drastically changed the political and cultural landscape while Blagojevich was behind bars. That new reality allows for hurling allegations regardless of their veracity, excoriating perceived opponents in the media and often shouting down the truth.”

1. The media needs to ignore him, though I know they won't because...money.

He is a failed, crooked former politician. Nothing else. He should be left alone and be consigned to the dust bin of history.

2. Well, he does owe the PissWig some sycophantic pleasure smooches now.

I can see a White House job in his future.

8. That was my thought as well,

with a security clearance personally approved by the Dick Tater, in a job in which he can steal.

Ignore it and it will go away.

4. Anderson Cooper put him in his place

a couple days ago.

5. Actually he is a good teaching aid as to con-men. Show him and show him

to be a convincing fraud so people learn.

6. Hurling allegations regardless of their veracity WORKS

Because our current media have become nothing more than stenographers.

7. There is also so much news happening. It is 'the runs' of horrid GOP

policy changes under Trump.
