| Kass: Blago jury in for a wild ride |
| 2010-06-15 |
| Rod Blagojevich's reality TV audience is a memory now, as are the women of "The View" who begged to touch his hair, and the listeners on his pro-Rod radio talk show. The former Democratic governor of Illinois now has only one audience to charm: his jurors. And they've had one heck of a week already, being dragged down the rabbit hole into the wonderland of Illinois politics. They watched Dead Meat perform from the defense table, sighing, shrugging and making faces at a former chief of staff testifying for the prosecution. Dead Meat was desperate to convince them he's just an honest man victimized by a pack of schemers. On just the second day of testimony, the jury was treated to a peek into the political shadows, with audio of Rod praising good buddy and state Sen. Jimmy DeLeo, D-How You Doin?, as the one guy he could trust to bring in the campaign cash. But what's in store for them, with weeks and weeks still to go? We contacted a member of another jury, one that convicted a governor of Illinois only a few years ago, a jury of regular folks drawn into the political-media frenzy that was the trial of a Republican former Gov. George Ryan. Rest at link; and you'll want to read what this lady has to say. |

| #1 Is this trial really going anywhere or is it a yawner where everyone will say this is just Chicago politics; same old same old. |
