"I will fight. I will fight. I will fight until I take my last breath. And I'm not going to quit a job that people hired me to do because of false accusations and a political lynch mob."
Blagojevich went on to emphatically declare his innocence, while never actually addressing the charges against him. He also slammed "Meet the Press," quoted extensively from Rudyard Kipling's poem "If," and wished everyone a Merry Christmas. You can read the full transcript here.
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is in deep denial.

"I will fight. I will fight. I will fight until I take my last breath."
I have a feeling there are some government officials out there thinking... "Well, that can be arranged!"

'I...am not a crook.'
'I did not have...sexual relations with that woman.'
'I am not guilty. I am not guilty. I am not guilty.'
So, what's not to believe?

In a hearing for fitness or an administrative civil hearing of this type . the exclusionary rule doesn't apply. Blago is going sooner than later. Besides, the constitutional rights of the voters outweighs of this wrongdoer.

Ahem... A clip from the film based on Kipling's "The Man Who Would Be King" starring Michael Kaine and Sean Connery...
YOU GOTTA LAUGH... RAHM EMMANUEL HAS BEEN PULLED FROM PUBLIC EYE after his involvement in the Blago Corruption and the only "CHANGE" the 'CHANGE CANDIDATE" has indicated so far is a CHANGE BACK to the scandal ridden Clinton era, Clintons and all.
NOW THAT'S FUNNY! The Dem messiah isn't walking on water - he's walking on a sewer of Chicago corruption he brings with him to Washington. OUCH!

REZCO AND BLAGO BETTER BE CAREFUL - THEY COULD WIND UP DEAD JUST TO SHUT THEM UP. CHICAGO IS A CESSPULL BUT SO ARE MOST CITIES - OUR ENTIRE GOV. IS CORRUPT. IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR MONEY, BUT IT DOESN'T GO TO YOU. LOOK AT ALL THE WIFES AND RELATIVES THAT ARE IN GOV - GOV IS A WAY FOR THEM TO GET RICHER WHILE SCREWING THE PUBLIC.

I think our government's elected officials, whether it's our President or any other elected official, should watch "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington". It’s a movie depicting a morally honest state senator, and his approach in fighting corruption in government. I admit at times the movie seems quite corny. But if you try to see his honesty, and his true love of government, how much better government would be by adapting to his morals and his attitude. The starring role is played by James Stuart, ‘1939.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - The top U.S. military officer says that up to 30,000 new American troops could be sent to Afghanistan next year.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen said on a visit to Kabul that between 20,000 and 30,000 additional U.S. troops could be sent to Afghanistan by summer.
U.S. commanders have long requested an additional 20,000 troops to bolster the 31,000 U.S. forces already in the country. But the high end of Mullen's range - 30,000 additional forces - is the largest number any top U.S. military official has said publicly.
