Blagojevich, a.k.a. (Former?) Governor of IL, or just insert the name of your favorite martyr

Even if IL governor Blagojevich is completely innocent and everything he's saying is true and he is a huge victim, he still has no choice at this point. the rest of the IL government has pretty clearly shown that they don't want to work with him anymore and they're spending a lot of energy and (again, in the event he is telling the truth) they're fabricating a whole lot of crap (which would be a major risk, yet not out of line for IL government) to dispose of Blago. However, even if the majority of the IL government is making all this up just to get him out I can't really complain. It would probably be the best the IL government has worked together in a long while and that's the showings of a healthy administration (for IL that is).

Blago just needs to walk away with whatever dignity he has left and stop wasting IL's money. He goes on and on about how much he's helped everything and now he's come up with this conspiracy theory that they just want him out so they can raise taxes, yeah, irony is once he is out, with all he made everyone go through, IL will have to raise taxes to make up for the deficit he's going to leave. Or maybe not, perhaps IL works this stuff into the budget given its track record.
