Blagojevich convicted

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has been FOUND GUILTY of 17 corruption charges.

He’s guilty as sin. The demands that he be paid off by whichever contender wanted Obama’s Senate seat was the initially most shocking and comical charge (he’s been found guilty of it, since the recordings of his conversations on the topic are pretty unambiguous). But the most despicable thing he did was probably the attempted shakedown of the children’s hospital.
