Blagojevich: An American Folk Hero (Update)

Just like John Henry, Paul Bunyon and Abraham Lincoln, in my opinion, Milorad “Rod” Blagojevich, will grace history books as the “bigger than life” man who coming out of the state of Illinois testing our Constitution in relation to Black citizenry to its very limits. A man who squeezed our Constitution so tightly it cried for mercy. A man who with just a stroke of his pen sent Constitutional figureheads running for cover being exposed as the hack many of the are. Pompous asses! Mr. Blogojevich is a man who single handedly put the Democratic Party in the worst peril of its existence and all of this with a stroke of his pen. And, alas, a man who really knows the Constitution.

There are some who would call our new “folk hero” a crook though a mild mannered man. A mis-guided man. A person who would sell anything within his power to advance the stabilities of his family structure. A Chicago Mafia Man. This may be said and indeed it maybe true but there is one thing I know and know very well: There is nobody who knows the law better than a crook. And if it is true Illinois is a crooked state run by crooks and has been for decades, then Mr. Blagojevich has to be the best of the crooks. He is Governor of the state. When you are the best of anything, it speaks for itself: You are the best! Head Honcho! De man!

I note it was during the night after Mr. Blagojevich said he was going to ask the state of Illinois to stop dealing with "Bank of America" until it fulfills some of its financial obligations to its customers, he was arrested. I thought that odd. I still think there was a relationship between what he said and the acceleration (?) of his arrest. And even more so that the charges against Mr. Blagojevich were not formal nor criminal. And now with this ninety day delay and all, it sounds fishy to me. I repeat: If Mr. Blagojevich is a crook, he sure does know the laws of his state and of the U.S. Constitution and for that, I salute him.

P.S. In relationship to Mr. Blagojevich, the saying goes, “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.” Also Kudos to Michelle Bernard and Pat Buchanan.

Excerpt:
“It is not complex. Blagojevich has a criminal complaint against him. He has not been formally charged with a particular crime or crimes. No jury has been seated. No trial has taken place. No jury has convicted him and no judge has sentenced him. Until a jury decides differently, Blagojevich enjoys the presumption of innocence.
Being charged, arrested, having a bond hearing, going to trial and being freed or convicted is due process.The presumption of innocence and due process are basic human and civil rights. Those rights should be protected for everybody.
Blagojevich resigning or not carrying out the duties of his job could ring as an admission of guilt of sorts and thus violating of his 5th Amendment rights.”
And Give Blago His Rights
Give Burris His Seat
