Thanks -- and Bill O'Reilly reporting this evening from Washington and in the Miller time segment.
Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich since the fourteen.
Years in prison today by judge James -- in Chicago.
The 54 year old Blagojevich convicted of trying to sell Barack Obama's vacant senate seat among other things will Begin serving his sentence in a few weeks.
-- -- -- loss analysts analyze the siege of Southern California Dennis Miller.
Are you got you -- waters comment before we get the blog all right.
What -- what was what Lincoln Chafee the guy had more nervous -- that -- Baghdad parking ballet for God's sakes you know.
He is such a piece seeing -- is just.
No -- once Christmas trees to be called Lincoln logs Lincoln Chafee is just the small man.
Making grandiose pronouncement about minor issues in an effort to look larger than life that's all that he has.
All right now Blagojevich.
Getting hammered even know we asked the court for mercy.
Fourteen years and -- And a federal time you got 285%.
Of it so he's 54 will see him when he's seventy years old.
And what do you think.
Fourteen years for what I'm sure I'm sure blogger goes back -- the right -- and -- -- fourteen years in the big house.
First essentially many of the same things that Barack Obama probably got out for years in the White House -- This is the coin of the realm in Chicago I can't believe still wasn't I watching you the other night you had a story on Megan's law not being passed in five states one of them which is Illinois.
-- try to get a ten year minimum for child molesters and Illinois.
-- -- blog does a bit of a political scumbag but I think most of -- political scum bag they can't believe he's getting fourteen years.
Up forever for what they won't give -- out super rich comfortable less.
Rely on it -- but look let me make the point here that -- Chicago and -- in no way is it political -- -- epidemic it's epidemic are right so when they catching convict.
As they did would Blagojevich and cost the federal government millions of dollar of the case together and get it -- it -- monetary.
Trying to get something for -- appointment to Barack Obama's senate seat when when the.
When he left to run for the presidency you gotta send the message Miller you got to send a message and he'll be out -- 68 not seventy but.
I can I don't think -- let this stuff go because these guys.
-- give in that the face of the people are given the power and that they abuse the power you've got to send a mop.
Well we just disagree on the length -- I -- I I bring to let Rod Blagojevich does probably happens every day in Chicago Illinois.
And I think it's like holding in the NFL I think they could -- on every play if they wanted to.
I think they cherry pick listen I'm no big fan but by the way there is a silver lining because I hear -- hairdo copped a separate plea and is walking away today on its own recognizance.
But he's gonna go up river it just seems fourteen years seems a little crazy to -- because I think they all do -- out that way I think -- They don't wanna stop -- Indy is today being the federal government dozens of federal -- by the way not a state -- I think the feds want to stop it in the way to stop it is say if we do catch you.
You're gonna get hurt.
And we're not gonna look away I think that is a worthy message well assumed that that -- there in Chicago now that probably not.
Look we know that Illinois -- is problematic.
But I am I'm an optimistic guy about America we want a clean it up and these guys these gangsters and I -- given him.
I probably have a lot and LA I would implement what a lot -- And what about the point -- brought up early do you speak for just the second that Megan's law thing that's amazing to me that holiday let's -- -- -- you can't speak to it because the six states YE Idaho.
Colorado Illinois -- Vermont and New Jersey.
That will not protect their children.
There's just no excuse for you can already see -- all day long but there's.
Oh excuse for you should know that if you wanna go to hell of Lyon -- senators -- to somebody in a payola system you can see fourteen.
Child molestation.
They'd they'd have much more wider parameters yeah crazy of Maine let that it is like you said -- -- federal thing as opposed to a state.
Okay.
Re branding Newt Gingrich and you were talking about this I think on your radio program.
What what it was -- me.
Well listen.
I think that if the Gingrich has had an epiphany in life.
And he has had some road to Damascus moment where between the lovable good woman and two grandchildren and returned to -- -- catholicism.
He's seen the light in some way I think it's tough to go after the guy on that point they're gonna say.
A lot -- -- him but I'm hoping that.
He's -- he's either have an epiphany or is Smart enough to know he's had an epiphany I can't figure out what it is yet.
But there's one easy bumper sticker for this all just put Newt Gingrich get rid of the T.
Newt Gingrich that's what I put on every card that just they have seen -- light.
And hope -- -- -- hard drive when it gets ugly and it is gonna get ugly with Barack Obama -- still got a little ugly left in the in the hard drive to combat.
These people way.
Paula welcome back but -- he'd be Smart don't you think not to come back on a personal basis.
I think I think you're right I do think he's he's pitching is look I converted to catholicism.
I don't like done wrong in my past but we're all sinners I believe in redemption.
Don't.
Please don't judge me.
And I can help the nation he keeps it there as you say to me -- hard to attack and they still will.
But I don't think he should get in the gutter with President Obama I think he should just do it on policy.
Just -- old -- is a good policy guy.
Just go after on policy.
You -- I'm I'm I'm up Maria Isabel I don't think they think Barack Obama can.
I know they're gonna say is the smartest guy who ever lived that are really I think there's some back room conversations and -- in this guy hold up against Newt Gingrich in a debate.
Forget -- can -- like your job it's not an idea I debated and twice interviewed him twice which were really debates the way we do it.
He's fast he can do it.
Barack Obama.
And I don't think Obama's gonna attack first yeah but you know Newt Gingrich is gonna go after -- hard about Reverend Wright he got a pass on that last time being able deadliest day.
Now because after -- Reverend -- if your if your correct and Gingrich goes after him on Reverend Wright the man loves them -- absolutely.
Now I -- -- I think is gonna say something what was it.
Less in the material girl get the big stage yet the Indianapolis super -- or whatever they call it Minneapolis.
For the Super Bowl halftime -- you say.
Well.
They have to hold off on making the complete offer for a while they wanted to see -- SeaWorld would let going gullible and they'll go for the day but they wouldn't so we have Madonna.
And she's got some history there she was at the first super ball which was the lions vs the Christians if I'm not mistaken.
I'm hoping that everybody makes a statement about the vacuous nature of our culture and right before halftime.
Everybody leaves just a few broken light sticks and some noise makers on the ground she comes up to perform and -- -- -- Nobody there all -- get not -- in you know the way hey Roger in the Packers reply in a game might be over by halftime you never.
Yeah I think it's -- be the patriots and the Packers that the game but you know people are gonna watch Madonna they're gonna -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- where there -- -- know people love train -- especially when -- empty -- I don't like the British accent -- that's would tees me off she's products -- right.
Get rid of the accident while Kathleen -- -- Henry Higgins and her -- is that do little about it the British acts here right.
Terrific Dennis -- everybody did you see that on.
