Blago's gall still delights ..

Don't you really just have to love the gall of Rod Blagojevich, "the hair"?

No doubt he had carefully thought through his last hurrah. As he stood down from testifying yesterday, he tried to shake hands with his nemesis, the prosecuting attorney who had been grilling him to a well-done condition.

"Put 'er there, pod-nur."

Yeah, sure... Have you ever, even once, seen a defendant leave the stand and then reach out to congratulate the prosecutor for just raking him over the coals? "Good job, sir."

Sorry, Rod, it didn't work.

The prosecutor was ready for him and turned away.

Do you think for a minute that Blago hadn't planned that out? You know - attempt to shake hands and then have the jury see you being snubbed by the refused handshake?

Judge Zagel was also ready for Blago and gave an appropriate direction to the jury about it.

Anybody out scouting for rope and the highest tree limb yet?
