SPRINGFIELD - Gov. Rod Blagojevich wants taxpayers to pay for the high-profile defense lawyer he hired to represent him in state lawmakers impeachment proceedings.

His lawyer, Edward Genson, filed that request with the impeachment panel investigating the governor and with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. The request is to have Madigan, the state's top lawyer, authorize his defense of the governor, which would mean taxpayers would foot the tab.

Currently the governor is on his own to pay his legal bills.

One big plus in having Blago around is that he knocked Sarah Palin of the pages of hu ff.

This guy is truly unbelievable. Those who "play" should pay. Here is my list of 2008 bad guys: Bush, Blago and Peterson. The arrogance of all three is disgusting,.

All 3 are bad, but are they worse than Cheney, whose company is responsible for the death by electrocution of soldiers, because Halliburton can't seem to do anything right but cash checks?

I'll donate but I expect a high paying state job in return.

Is there something wrong with that?
