Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has been found guilty of trying to sell Barack Hussein Obama’s Senate seat.

A federal jury today convicted former Gov. Rod Blagojevich on 17 of 20 counts, finding he brazenly abused the powers of his office in a series of attempted shakedowns captured on undercover government recordings.

Blagojevich showed no reaction as the jury announced their decisions. Once the verdicts were read, he sat back in his chair with his lips pursed, looked toward his wife Patti and whispered, “I love you.”

Expect a pardon when Obama leaves offuice! In the meantime, Blago who is an Elvis fan can do the jail house rock.
