Rod Blagojevich Admits He Was Guilty After All

Turns out that — despite many completely plausible and rambling protestations of his innocence — former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is, in fact, guilty of trying to sell a U.S. Senate seat…

Ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich told a federal judge at his sentencing hearing this morning that he accepts his guilt and is sorry…

Blagojevich's attorneys admitted for the first time Tuesday that he's guilty of corruption, but said the sentence of 15 to 20 years prosecutors want is too harsh.

And here I had taken him at his word this whole time. I feel like such a fool.

Today, I have lost a piece of my innocence.
