Here's a Bright Idea
Scott Fawell, the former chief of staff of a different convicted governor, George Ryan, is offering a tip on how Rod Blagojevich can cut his lengthy 14-year sentence.
The former governor may be able to make a request with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to take part in a substance abuse program.
Fawell said that’s what he did before going into prison.
“What you do is say that in between the time you’re sentenced and the time you report, you just couldn’t stop drinking,” Fawell said.
This is Fawell brilliant advice for Blago? Fake a drinking problem? What could possibly go wrong?
The head of the Bureau of Prisons kind of shoots it down though:
- But a U.S. Bureau of Prisons spokesman, Ed Ross, said there has to be a documented history of abuse for an inmate to qualify for the program and that an inmate has to be evaluated before being accepted into the program.

VOTE EVERY INCUMBENT OUT OF OFFICE! Thank you.
It's called RDAP and ironically enough, it is the only way to lessen your time. Go into prison clean, you cannot shorten your stay. Go in as an addict, you can earn an extra year.
Alice in fucking wonderland...
Flip on Madigan.
What was that?
Obama's Dept of Justice isn't interested in Madigan? Nor Rich or Patrick Daley, Burke or Vanecko?
Well then... Never mind.
I have a documented history of abuse.
I keep coming back to work every day, don't I? If that ain't abuse, I don't know what is!
He should start drinking pain medication, 'cause his ass is gonna really fuckin' hurt for the next 14 years.
HEY BLAGO !
I'll keep the bus warmed up!
You can bet Blago knows where plenty of skeletons are hiding. Wanna bet Jesse Jackson Jr. starts singing when he thinks he might do some prison time.
Fawell needs to return to prison for stupidity just for making this statement.
--No Cop Here
It is now time for Rezco and Blago to start talking about corruption in city and state government. They both know plenty, and even if no indictments come of their talking, what they would say would bring down some people. The prison sentences were too short in the past to get these bastards to talk. And, the corrupt judges and politicians all know that if they kept their mouth shut, a good job awaited them, probably at McCormick Place or navy Pier.
I cannot understand why the Media goes to these convicted criminals for their opinion. Who cares what Farwell or Laski or Rostenkowski have to say.
They are convicted criminals and people should spit when they see them. You want forgiveness and a second chance? Spend ten years in a soup kitchen feeding the poor. Work at the Salvation Army.
Here's a good one: pay back not only the money you stole, but the money we spent prosecuting and housing your criminal ass. Until then, you are just something gross on the bottom of my shoe.
They all seem to come back living the high life. That is why Blago gets no sympathy here.
SCC...totally unrelated but check this out.... even New York In trouble with the # of po's and the overtime they are having to pay out..

One down.... hundreds to go... Still think DNR should just sell tags for corrupt politicians... at least make some money on it.
I drink now, and that means?? Will I get maybe a longer furlough?
Hope I don't get into shit even though I was caught on in car camera.

rod give up jesse
other pols have used this tactic and it worked,can he tell them he is addicted to kool-aid
The Same Scam Was Used By the Brigport Ct Mayor when He Got Busted On Federal corruption Charges Awhile Ago.
He did NOT Have A Previous Documented Substance abuse Problem Before He Got sent Up
He Just Got Out this yr, Should Have Been In The Joint Much Longer, Used The substance abuse Angle, Prosecuters Objected & He Somehow Got away with it!
Connecticut is Just as Corrupt as Chicago It seems
Dear Rod,
Fuck those asshats, you know you're just the minnow in the pond of sharks. At least make sure a few spend some time with you.
If he starts "singing" he'll have an accident.
Here's a good idea...don't be a criminal!
flip on O
why drink beer now when you can have champagne later?
He's got the tapes!
Fawell had it good his entire life. Mommy & Daddy were very clouted, he reaped the benefits all of his life. Always on the hustle for himself and the politicians that he was a pimp for. Couldn't keep his hands off of the married help who would also do anything to advance themselves.
When he finally has to pay the price he husttles his way out of a year in the joint with lies and bull shit.
We as citizens never seem to learn. We really need a house cleaning. Any one in office reguardless of party has to go. Even if they are not crooks they have all been blind to what has been going on for so long and thats enough to replace these parasites.
Just think if we finnaly smarten up and vote them all out then maybe we will have qualified supervisors, honest promotional exams and promotions. Maybe it won't cost an arm and a leg to live here. Maybe we can keep some of our hard earned money to advance our families needs.
Naw, you people are never going to wise up as long as you keep playing the game to.
That's what that other guy did who went to jail. Can't remember his name right now, but he wrote a book. Damn Alzheimer's! He was a top Daley aide I believe. I think he has a radio show now.
Yeah it IS a bright idea I guess.
After all he is only trying to emulate the so-called best and brightest people in politics and in the corporate boardrooms across the country.
I mean at the elite million dollar level of society like your mayors, governors, city council members, lawmakers, presidents etc.. these are not really laws to be followed to the black letter of the law.
They are merely suggestions.
Why waste time on this penny-anti krap when the CEO's are pulling off trillion dollar frauds affecting tens of millions of people and the justice department doesn't care about that?
Fast and Furious does a gun running scam south of the border in attempt to win the hearts and minds of the people, trying to gain sympathy for tighter gun laws by arming the drug cartels against our own people. Anyone really care about that?
Oh we'll see some dog and pony show from a few congressmen so that they get face time with a news camera for their political campaign however chances are nothing serious is gonna happen in holding people accountable.
The Soylandra example, The MF Global example..it's just keeps rolling and getting bigger and there is no will to stop it.
If you stop it the politicians will lose their campaign contributions and with no campaign contributions there will be no TV advertising pumping that money back into the corporations in one huge circle-jerk.
Rod don't even know what he is in for until he gets that "Booty Call" from Bubba. In a few weeks he will forget all about Patti.
14 years in the joint shoud slow up hia drinking problem
WHY would Fox news even pay to interview one convicted felon BUM to discuss tips he'd given to
a recently convicted BUM? I didn't like it when Fox
gave the same props to Rostenkowski. Saw him driving a Lexus sedan downtown the next day. Rosty didn't appear any the worse for wear for his time spent locked down when he got out, and I suspect Blago will receive cases of "just for men" hair color wherever he winds up.
That's what that other guy did who went to jail. Can't remember his name right now, but he wrote a book. Damn Alzheimer's! He was a top Daley aide I believe. I think he has a radio show now.
Laski.... he HAD a radio show... in in it he was always talking about how unethical other politicians were
the only problem rod has is his big mouth--- he should declare himself a pathological liar and seek psychiatric care....
Faywell is still a conniving lying piece of shit it seems. So much for "corrections". Lisa Madigan will hire him as an adviser.
"Here's some better advice - flip on anyone you can."
Blago will flip on no one.
He'll spend a couple years in the joint, to teach him a lesson, then BHO will pardon him for his good behavior.
