This is an AP video of the governor’s children leaving their home yesterday morning.

Listen to the media just as the back gate opens. Then look at the children's faces.

Doesn’t it tear at your heart a bit? ...

And ABC is now reporting that Rahm Emanuel is getting death threats over the Blagojevich case.

excerpt:

Emanuel:"I'm getting regular death threats. You've put my home address on national television. I'm pissed at the networks. You've intruded too much, " Emanuel said, according to the cameraman.

Emanuel has refused to comment as to whether he is the un-named Presidential advisor cited in the FBI affidavit filed in the Blagojevich case. "You're wasting your time," Emanuel told a Chicago Sun-Times reporter yesterday. "I'm not going to say a word to you. I'm going to do this with my children. Don't do that. I'm a father. I have two kids. I'm not going to do it."



Here is the link to the ABC story that Sabra has posted:

1. No.
If you fuck up like he did, you should expect no mercy. If he had any decency he'd have already had his kids shipped off to a friend's or relative's.

I'll be the first to apologize to him if he's innocent, but if he's guilty of even half of what they say he should go to jail for life. Fuck him.

2. While media may be making it seem bigger they are also forcing
blago to face what he has done. They are at this point part of the oversite apparatus. Once the thing is done if they keep at it then they will be making more trouble.
