Gov. Rod Blagojevich knew for months he was under investigation, so why was he caught on tape making so many incriminating statements? Some are wondering if there’s something wrong with his mental acuity.
As CBS 2’s Jim Williams reports, right after the feds announced the charges against Blagojevich, there were angry shouts across the country. “disgusting” and “arrogant” is what many called him.
However, after some reflection, there is the serious question people like Marian Cassler of Chicago are asking: “When you know you’re being watched, why would you do something like that? You have to have something wrong.”
“Well, we think he’s nuts, that he has some kind mental problem that he would have the audacity to do such a thing,” said Chicago resident Meg Olsen.
Well, this is to be expected. These people can’t admit what is obvious - that Blago is just one more typical product of Democrat machine corruption in Illinois, drenched in the arrogance typical of such crooks - and instead must be “insane.”
Nice try, but sorry. It won’t wash.
UPDATE: Wired-in legendary SF meisterpol Willie Brown was interviewed on local Fox today, and was asked about Blagojevichy. Willie parroted the new party line: “He’s obviously got mental problems.”

WBBM-TV and Willie Brown could be admitting the average Dem is nuts by using the usual Soviet tradition of damning the most-egregious example without damning the underlying fault.
