Oh and by the way under no circumstances do I want the former f'n Gov Ryan, who happens to be a Republican, to be pardoned. Let him think about the Willis family from behind bars.
Geesh, I miss my home state ... One of the comedy shows said that one has better odds of going to jail if you are an Illinois governor, than if you commit murder.

I'm worried about what all the lawyers coming out of the woodwork on the news shows are saying ... that Blago may be an unethical scumbag, but he hasn't yet done anything technically illegal (that we've heard).

The "no concern to Obama" comment was in the first press conference by the State's attorney.

Emanual is a tough SOB you don't want to mess with, but the rep people always talked about (during the Clinton years, and in Chicago) is that he's a honest tough SOB (he's loath to do anything illegal).
