25 Comments - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 11:48 am: He has circled twice … ABC7 is so frustrated that Rod won’t go in …Paul Meinke said its like “Where’s Waldo?” - 47th Ward - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 11:59 am: Somehow a white Bronco seems more appropriate. And like NASCAR, I’m only watching to see a wreck. What happens if he’s late? A night in the box? - Irish - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 11:59 am: Wasn’t the Ex-Gov always late for his appointments? Maybe he doesn’t understand he should not be late for this one. - The Captain - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:00 pm: For all the people who bemoan the circus just remember this is a thing that exists right now. Pathetic. - wordslinger - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:00 pm: Maybe Al Cowling is driving. Or, I imagine they might be giving Blago some time to compose himself. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:01 pm: Looks like he is getting lunch … - Publius - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:04 pm: Wasn’t he supposed to report at noon Chicago time? He’s late again and the Feds prob won’t give him any special favors for being late - Anon - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:11 pm: 14 yrs !!! I wouldnt want to go in either. - 47th Ward - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:13 pm: OK, make mine two double chili burgers with extra onions, cheese fries and a large chocolate shake. Sheldon, what do you want? Is that for here or to go? - Shore - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:15 pm: he was supposed to report at noon denver time which is in 45 minutes. If I was going to do 14 years I would do the same thing. I don’t think Newt’s town hall today is going to get much chicago coverage tonight. - Publius - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:20 pm: Time to face reality for Blago - Aldyth - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:22 pm: I hope he enjoys his last fast food meal for a while. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:23 pm: “Here is our ‘Burger Card’, evey time you get a burger, we punch it, and when you get to 10 burgers, you get your 11th free …would you like one?” - soccermom - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:23 pm: Soccerchild was rooting for him to attempt a daring escape. She will be disappointed. - amalia - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:44 pm: would love to see a story done with this much vigor, but on Mark Kirk’s recovery. - Anonymous - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:47 pm: Car radio cranking “Never can say Goodbye”? Rod is trying to make his exit look like one of James Brown’s stage exits. I’m just glad to feel some closure now that we’ve removed a tumor from the Body Politic. - Regular Reader - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:49 pm: The reporting is beyond stupid… “He’s gotten out of the car… appears to be walkig with attorneys… looking up at the helicopter… and what’s so interesting is his backpack!” - fIre & Ice - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:52 pm: Finally ! Good Riddens. - Wensicia - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:54 pm: ==and what’s so interesting is his backpack!== HIs hair brush is inside. - Boone Logan Square - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 12:57 pm: Hang on, he showed up TEN MINUTES EARLY? Maybe he is turning over a new leaf after all! - Huh? - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 1:03 pm: Is this blago’s first ever on-time appointment? - Pot calling kettle - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 2:21 pm: ==Car radio cranking “Never can say Goodbye”?== More likely “Jailhouse Rock.” What was the coverage like when George Ryan went to prison? - Blue State Cowboys - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 2:24 pm: “Do you think they’ll let me play all the tapes in prison?” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy5V6co3KSA - Steve Downstate - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 3:59 pm: I’ve got to learn to be more charitable. I just found myself hoping that he gets latrine duty instead of landscaping. - Retired Non-Union Guy - Thursday, Mar 15, 12 @ 4:47 pm: If anyone cares, news story about the Chicago to Denver flight http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_20181915/rod-blagojevich-plane-from-chicago-denver-mdash-and# Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
