| #7 Only 14 years? More like 12 - the judge took into account all his work he did as governor "for the Children". |

| #6 When do the appeals start and end? Rod can't start serving his time until the Supreme Court reviews it after all, can he? |

| #4 Heard his sound bite on news at the beginning of (Our) Things Considered. Dramatic tone about this being a time to be strong for his kids. No, Mr. Blagojevic, it's a time to look in the mirror, say, "I committed a crime and now I do the time." |

| #3 Said he was "unbeilvaby sorry". I agree, I don't believe he was sorry for what he did, just for getting caught. |
