Judges to hear arguments in Blagojevich appeal

4. I blame more of it on Madigan than Judy.

Blago crossed one of the most powerful Democrats in the state, and the country. I don't think most people realize how powerful Madigan is. His name is not a household word, like Rove's. I believe Rove lost a lot of punch when everyone started to know who he was. I am not referring to political junkies, like us, but to ordinary people who pay little attention to politics.

The whole state of Illinois is run by powerful political families, both Democratic and republican. Some of them are talented people. Some simply have the right last name.

Ryan is not in jail any more. And, unlike George, no one died when Blago lied. It is time to release Blago.
