OT: Former Gov. Blagojevich - maniac on the loose
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2009 5:50 am... again.
Former Gov. Rod has pled not guilty to 16 counts of various wrongdoings.
He's been told that what with being indicted, he cannot leave the country.
But Blago is looking for court approval to leave anyway (because he's above the law, you know, so of course he feels like he should get permission)... what I seriously could not believe was the reason he's looking to leave...

Pending court approval, ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich will join the cast of "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" when it bows in June on NBC, the network announced Tuesday. The show, which is based on the U.K. format of the same name and previously ran for one season on ABC in 2003, drops 10 celebrities into a Costa Rican jungle to face challenges. NBC has not announced the rest of the cast. "I'm a Celebrity" will run nightly for four weeks in June.
Blagojevich, who was taped allegedly trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat, recently pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy, extortion conspiracy, attempted extortion, making false statements, and wire fraud. If convicted, Blagojevich faces up to 30 years in prison.
I cannot see the court approving this and if they do...
then all I'd have to say is hang it up, America, we're done.
