One Blagojevich trial juror from southwest Tinley Park expressed what most Illinoisans were feeling Monday afternoon in the Tinley Park Patch:
Asked if she's angry about Blagojevich's actions, [Karen] Wojcieszak sighed and shook her head in dismay.
"It just makes me wonder, are we the laughing stock of the U.S.?" she said. "He's like so many other Illinois politicians who took an oath to serve the people … He didn't come through. We have so many corrupt politicians here. Now, we officially have one more."
It's shame that Blagojevich had to join the state's line of crooked elected officials, she said, adding that he was just as charismatic as any politician she's seen speak.
