Blagojevich Appears At Chicago Comic Con

Posted by samzenpus on from the bottom-of-the-barrel-villian dept.

theodp writes "Earlier this week, a federal jury convicted Former Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich of lying to the FBI and deadlocked on 23 other charges. Still, that didn't stop Blago from connecting with his 'loyal supporters' Saturday at the Chicago Comic Con, where the ex-Gov charged $80 for each photo taken with him and $50 for autographs. He even hob-knobbed with celebrities like Adam West and Richard Roundtree. 'I met Batman. I met Shaft, and I know something about getting the shaft,' Blagojevich said."

    It appears based on the jury results that there is at least one other person in the country who wasn't convinced

    Or perhaps was "convinced" to not be convinced...

    The man was obviously corrupt as shit out of a whore's ass. How much would you like to bet that there was jury tampering involved here?
