Culture: Trial of the century: Is Rod Blagojevich’s lawyer making fun of him?
- You have to be comatose not to figure out how to get a dollar out of $52 billion. But who didn’t? Him!
- Rod Blagojevich’s lawyer, Sam Adam Jr. • Making a comment that seems to suggest that Blago was too stupid to figure out how to defraud the state. The ex-Illinois governor’s former confidante, however, Antoin “Tony” Rezko, did, Adam argues. Adam’s opening statement lasted an hour and 45 minutes and opened up a trial destined to rank with the OJ Simpson trial for its sheer goofiness. Or at least we hope it does. source
