He may have a big mouth, but he has done NOTHING any other politician hasn't done. It's a waste of taxpayers money to go after him this way. Kick him out of office, fine, but prosecute him, ridiculous! Go Blago!!

Big waste of taxpayers money to go after this big mouth. They need to focus on drug lords and violent criminals and terrorists. Chicago likes to waste money. Prosecutor needs to drop the charges on this guy..

This guy is such a creep. It's a shame they could only get him on 1 count. I bet he would be stupid enough to run for governor again
