No More Felons
Of course, that doesn't mean that Blago is going to get rid of the one felon that he knows he has - that might irritate political sponsors:
- A spokeswoman says Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's staff doesn't contain any more convicted felons.
Last week the Chicago Sun-Times disclosed that a high-ranking Blagojevich aide named Steven Guerra spent 23 months in prison in the mid-1980s. Guerra had refused to testify before a grand jury about terrorist activities by the Puerto Rican independence movement known as FALN.
Blagojevich defends the decision to make Guerra his chief of staff for community services.
Remember, we lost a Superintendent because he was associating with a known felon. In the political realm, we guess it all just depends on who's doing the associating and whether of not the political sponsor of said felon is actually running the show.

Politicians decide who is a terrorist and who is a "freedom fighter." That's why the "war on terror" is such a joke.
many felons,cheats,liars,surround daley-blago-stroger and the crew of thieves. it is the dumbocrat way after all!
Most of our past Governors as well as City Aldermen ae NOW convicted felons. Seems like who else would know how government runs, cheats and steals better than a previously elected [rtdpm and convicted felon?
Not sticking up for Blago here, I think he is the worse but I think a Contempt of Court jailing is not a felony or misdermeanor. There is no trial or court hearing, a judge can hold you in contempt of court and jail you for as long as the either local or federal grand jury is in session if you fail to testify after being given imunity.
And what a lot of people didn't know back when this happen, I believe the law has now changed, when you were subpeona to a federal grand jury, yopu could not selective use the "refuse to testify under the 5th admendment. Once you anwsered the first question, usually that question being state your name, you couldn;t use the 5th. You had to answer every question with the 5th. Just like the old mobsters use to do. A lot of people got screwed by that.
Blago is just preparing for his own future. He will soon be a felon as well and will need a job when he gets out of Oxford country club,the prison for the connected.
Isn’t there a certain "aldercreature" who was associated with the aforementioned terrorist group as well?
The goal of those in power is to have as many citizens convicted felons as possible.
Convicted felons can't vote.
The politicians' dream s for everyone to be convicted of a felony, then, nobody would be able to vote and there would be no more pesky elections to deal with.
And, what the hell makes an act a felony, anyway?
I don't think contempt for refusing to testify before a grand jury is actually a felony.
I just think its contempt of court. The prosecutor doesn't charge you with a criminal offense, the judge just says you're screwing with the administration of justice, so I'm going to hold in prison until you comply.
Doesn't mean the guy isn't a slimeball, but everybody keeps hanging this tag of "felon" on him and I don't know that its accurate.
One parties' terrorism is another parties' freedom fight.
An Avowed FALN terrorist on the Governor's staff being paid $120,000 by the taxpayers.
What a slap to out soldiers who get about $17,000 for fighting terrorists.
Blago, I wont forget you on election day, that is, if you still are not in prison.
Hopefully sitting next to Daley and Co. in your cells.
BLAGO'SGONNA GET INDICTED SOON. SO IS HIS WIFE. BLAGO IS GOING TO USE HIS FELONY ASSISTANT TO GET HIM A GOOD KITCHEN JOB IN THE KLINK!
SCC: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN PRINT THIS, BUT I'LLL GIVE IT A TRY: IS IT TRUE DICK MELL GOT PISSED OFF A BLAGO BECAUSE BLAGO WAS CHEATING ON HIS WIFE(DICK MELL'S DAUGHTER)?
Blago is about as straight as Archer Avenue, Daley as straight as Milwaukee Ave.
most corrupt state in the U.S; and still the same old poiticians getting away with it.
Felons need love too...and jobs
What about the 019 dist copper wife who is on the westside all time buying dope, she has dropped his name all the time. What a POS!!! You marry a crackhead??? OK

you said it!!!! Crooked County and the City of Chicago make the Shield look like Sunday School
Just asking, but why isn’t former Gov. George “Liver Lips” Ryan in the shithouse. I actually don’t want to see Ryan in prison, I want to see him under the prison.When he commuted the death sentences of all those murders, he was just jury shopping. Well, it obviously didn’t work, at least in the jury phase. But, hope is not lost for Bro’ Geo. There is always the appellate process to keep his liver lip ass out of prison. If Bro’ Geo does catch a break from the appellate process, the announcement will probably come when the news media is distracted by a natural disaster of terrorist attack.I hope that Blago & Bro’ Geo end up in the same cell. I’ll even pay for the KY jellie.

One of the things I heard about HIM
is that he got one of ISP bodyguards
"bungup".And it took alot to coverup that one.........
Police consorting with known Felons
Recently in 002nd District a convicted felon, with an extensive sheet, gets arrested while driving someone else's car. As it turns out the car belongs to a female officer in 002. The watch commander takes the young officer aside, in a friendly nurturing manner [what we might expect of a good boss] and advises the young officer that it is against the Rules and Regs. of the Department to have such a close friendship with a known felon. Rather than take heed of this very good advice, the young officer has written an extensive T0-From to the Superintendent suggesting that the police department change this rule as it discriminates against black females on the Chicago Police Department because they have no one else to associate with. The young police officer is also attempting to bring an EEOC complaint against her Watch Commander.
This just ain't your father's police department anymore.
