Rod Blagojevic
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 by AriI know that everyone deserves a fair trial and the right to defend themselves, and Rod Blagojevic is no exception. That being said, if even half of what is in the indictment is true (and there are recordings so it looks like it is), then he has done more to directly harm the country for his personal benefit than any American that I can recall since the various Russian spy cases during the cold war. There should even be a special category for this type of crime – abuse of power and conspiracy to harm the people who elected you. Maybe his punishment should be that he has to spend the next 10-20 as Ted Stevens’ roommate. They can even have the cell next to William Jefferson and Duke Cunningham at the “abuse of power” prison.
