Remember Jefferson?

He was the democrat who was caught with bundles of cash hidden in his freezer. No trial. No impeachment.

He was tossed out by voters early this year in January.

If you compare the case of Rod Blagojevich to William Jefferson there is one clear difference; Blago was not kissing Bank of Americas ass.

That's the thing about the tinfoil hat club; it's so easy to dismiss a lot of their blatherings, as long as you don't look to closely at the facts.

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's decision to suspend all state business with Bank of America (BAC) on Monday was disturbing enough for those who believe that political appointees have no business micro-managing lending at the street level. But President-elect Barack Obama’s endorsement of the labor sit-in at Republic Windows and Doors may well qualify as a sharp, early warning to managements of banks who are part of the $8 trillion government aid package: you must lend tax-payer dollars to protect jobs.
We all know politicians are whores.
I for one, would rather have the crooked whore who is against the international cartel of Vampires ( aka the central banks ), than one ( like Bush ) who sucks the shit out of their asses.


I beg you Obama, break this cycle; our relationship with the federal reserve must end now.

As much as I dislike the Fed Reserve and banks, you're being taken for a ride by conspiracy nuts.

Blago is being impeached right now because he was trying to fill a Senate seat via bribery.  That's a lot more serious than anything Jefferson did.

If you don't believe me, look up Patrick Fitzgerald.  He's someone you can actually trust, because he's not partisan.  He was appointed by Republicans and then proceeded to prosecute Scooter Libby and Governor George Ryan.  He spent the last year or two observing Rod to find the right time to act against him, and when Obama's seat became vacant, that was the time to act.

Unfortunately, Fitzgerald was unable to keep Burris from entering his seat (thanks in part to race-baiting by the usual suspects -- Bobby Rush, etc.), but thankfully, Rod still got busted, and hopefully, he can share a cell with George Ryan.

To attribute this to banks is just as ridiculous as looking for political insight from a random blonde with a webcam.

the real reason is that Jefferson is a corrupt African American... and Blago is a corrupt white guy...
Not sure which is worse what either of them did criminally speaking
but there is a political dance when a person of color is involved...  not my opinion and i think it's bullshit but it's true
I think all criminals should be treated the same... very harshly...lol

Here's the deal with Blagojevich:

The entire state of Illinois is fucking corrupt, from the highest office to the guy who fills the soap dispensers.  Blagojevich was dumb enough to get caught, and his co-workers crucified him to make it look like they're doing something good for a change.

And as catbox said, Jesse Jackson didn't run to help blago...

I think...that maybe the reason...Rob Blagojevich was taken down worse then...the Jefferson guy was because...of the different economic climates in the country...at the time. People were...not hurting as much...back in 2006...like they are hurting now...and really didn't...care if someone else...made some money...on the side...because things were going...all right back then...

I still don't understand how the fact that Rod tried to fill a Senate seat via bribery has somehow become a side issue to this discussion.  Does that not strike anyone else as especially corrupt?
