Blagojevich: the walls are closing in and the air is getting thin

From the Sun Times,

Gov. Blagojevich appeared ready to throw a punch and “blew up like a 10-year-old” when a Democratic state senator rejected the governor’s personal plea to back his floundering health care plan, the stunned lawmaker said Friday.

A former Golden Gloves boxer, Blagojevich also allegedly threatened to unseat the lawmaker — Sen. Mike Jacobs (D-East Moline) — and yank millions of dollars in funding for a university in Jacobs’ northwestern Illinois district as retribution.

The dramatic blowup in Blagojevich’s Statehouse office capped a disastrous week for the governor, who appeared politically emasculated for failing to unite Democratic-led majorities in the House and Senate behind his springtime agenda.
Emasculated a tough choice of words for a guy who prided himself on Testicular Virility.

Ryan was a corrupt Gov.

The Democrats have given us a Gov who sure looks corrupt and immature on top it.

Illinoisans used to graft and sadly sometimes appreciate it when it supposedly makes things work. A lack of savvy though is unforgivable.

Wow. Rod makes threats of violence against Jacobs in the security of his office surrounded by his security detail. He sure is a stand up guy.

Although I have never met Sen. Jacobs, he does seem to be a rather large fellow. So I guess Rod hiding behind his security detail was probably the smartest thing he may have ever done.

We need to drug test all Illinois Politicians. When your testicles are enlarged, it might be from drug use.

Add racketeering to the already growing indictment list. Is there ANY part of this administration that hasn't received subpoeneas?

When Milarod hears "bully pulpit" he thinks is means get the boxing gloves.

Is he a Bush cousin???

Research suggests that "testicular virility" is inversely related to the amount of hair on your head, i.e., the less hair the higher average testostone level. Maybe the gov should get a crew cut.
