Blagojevich: “No good deed…..”

(I let this post sit around for awhile trying to get more unity to it but all I come up with were additional sentences and sound bites so I’m going to let it fly as-is. In music circles it would be called a “Caprice” and in the Blogosphere it is call a “Rant”.)
The entire statement is “No good deed goes unpunished”. And in the case of Gov. Blagojevich and the proud moments he has enjoyed in his career, I will concede his destiny to that of Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.

Personally, my most disturbing issues is the fact many people, including some television personalities, would kill Gov. Blagojevich themselves for no other reason than not liking him. We have witnessed on the Gaza strip whole families of people murdered and Americans dare not utter a peep for fears of being labeled anti-Semitic; we have witnessed the shameless thief of our government's treasury and nobody says or does anything of significance and *one additional concern. We have witnessed all of us enjoying full American citizenship that in eight short years that citizenship has suddenly made us suspected criminals so who would give a shit about the murder of a little Jewish governor from Illinois? Unquestionably what has disturbed me most regarding the Blagojevich saga is the shameless hatred! I know Mr. Mandela is not dead, murdered, but a dollar to donuts there are still some people in quarters of South Africa……

Listening to Gov. Blagojevich this afternoon (Thursday) addressing the Illinois Senate, I thought, “How many people sitting in jail cells now wish they had not kept quiet as instructed by their lawyers? How many wish they did not have to be a ‘Johnny Come Lately’ by having to write a book after the court case or sitting in jail crying their hearts out to Nancy Grace on her show? How many people who are in the position will now go public as soon as they can before their court case comes up?” Hello? Yes? Is that you Karl? Fancy meeting you here. Hurry along now, you doesn’t want to keep Mr. Conyers waiting now, do you? (Smile)
As always,
BB
P.S. I tip my hat once again to Gov. Blagojevich and wish him God’s grace, blessings and speed. In my opinion, he truly fought a gallant battle!
