The Showtime series Trial By Media did a great episode on Blago. If he was corrurpt, he didn't get any money from it. His coffers were empty, he lived in a normal sized Chicago house (I mean, a bit big for Chicago, but not really) .. with the Obama seat he wasn't even asking for favors for himself. He was asking for State money for his pet projects .. for the people of his state! He went up against his wife's family .. and Bank of America, which got him in trouble.
Yea he might have deserved 6 ~ 12 weeks at the most. Certainly not 14 years (oh which he served 8 I think?)
