'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!': The Patti report

| | Comments (3) | TrackBacks (0)

In week three of "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!," Patti Blagojevich continued to present her case to America. Her defense? She seems to be saying that she and the former governor are being framed, and furthermore they should not go to jail because they are parents. Which would be excellent news for currently incarcerated criminals who have procreated.

"In politics you develop enemies, and they're out to hurt you and hurt your reputation," she explained.

For the first time on the show, it was mentioned that Rod Blagojevich could be getting 20 years in prison, and Patti herself could still end up serving 7-10 years. She said it was difficult deciding whether going to Costa Rica would provoke Patrick Fitzgerald.

"Are you aggravating the U.S. attorney, and then they indict me too?" Patti lamented. "You know it's coming in about a year... 'We're going to indict your wife unless you come plead guilty.' It's like, yeah, well go ahead and do it then. You gonna make our kids orphans?"

There is no justice, she said. "They squeeze people to say things that aren't true," said Patti. "It's a terrible thing. They get people that have done things wrong and they tell them, 'Would you be comfortable saying this?'"

Her phone call back home reminded Patti of reality. "We gotta get past the trial," Patti told her jungle BFF, John Salley.

Then she cried. In a river.

This show is all scripted. Do not believe Baldwin was the lowest public call in to get eliminated. Dickinson should have gone long ago. Blagos deserve everything for payback for all of the hardships they have caused others in the past years. No sympathy here for any of the Blagos. I am getting tired watching this phony show and probably watched my last episode last night. Bbbbbboooooorrrrriiiinnnngggg!

Mrs. B. was raised in the system. The conduct of politicians should have been no surprise to her. She had every opportunity to try to stop the activities that led to their current situation but apparently thought they were above scrutiny. Given that Mr. Fitzgerald's modus operandi is common knowledge, why would they think they could get away with it all? Sorry, no tears here.

Should I be hearing the Diana Krall version or the Julie London (tough choice, but I'm leaning to the latter 51%-40)
