Blago calls out Fitzgerald

Them's fightin' words, Blago.

Yesterday Blago called out federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, describing the federal prosecutors as "cowards and liars." Blago reportedly said, "I'll be in court tomorrow, and I hope you are man enough to be there, too."

I've heard it said that the best defense is a good offense. If that's the best that Blago can do, it won't be much of a show in June. No doubt that most of what Blago does is carefully scripted and approved by his legal eagles, but there is always that part of what he does that is "pure Rod."

Blago, the feds don't have to prove you are innocent. That's your job. Their job is to prove you are guilty! Didn't you go to law school?

While they are downtown, will Blago show up on the federal Square, ready to take on Fitzgerald at high noon?

Weapons of choice? How about swords at 20 paces?

You know the old story about choosing whether to be the bug or the windshield? Blago is about to be the bug. (No offense to VW Beetles intended.)
