Blago Gets No Love From The Sun Times

Filed Under Rod Blagojevich 

The Sun-Times says Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s impeachment trial seems fair to them so far.

Gov. Blagojevich on Friday called upon the editorial board of the Chicago Sun-Times and other newspapers to come to his defense and ensure that he gets a fair impeachment trial this week.

But after studying the merits of the governor’s specific complaints, here’s our response: So far, so fair.

Here’s what the Sun-Times says in a Tweet about Blago’s plea for help from Chicago newspapers:

When #Blagojevich asked for help from our editorial board, they decided to call bull on this cowpoke.

    We can only hope and pray that Blago gets to call witnesses. I can’t wait to see him call Raum Emanuel or other Obama administration officials.

    Hi Steve,

    Blago wants to call a bunch of Obama’s people to testify — it would make for interesting testimony. I’m sure he’d also call some of Daley’s people as well.

    I read that Blago has hire Drew Peterson’s PR firm — it should be an interesting upcoming week. Blago has already been on WLS AM and is planning to be on the morning television programs.
