Rod Blagojevich Found GUILTY On 17 Charges!

Rod Guilty

Honestly, we saw this from a mile away.

Rod Blagojevich was found guilty by jurors on 17 of 20 charges today.

The charges included attempting to sell Barack Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat, which was a main focus of prosecutors banking on the fact that he was actually "serious" when he made the comments over the phone.

The former governor and his wife were "shocked" (really?) at the verdict and he had this to say:

"I frankly am stunned. There's not much left to say other than we want to get home to our little girls and talk to them and explain things to them and then try to sort things out."

More like get home and enjoy the smell of sweet, free, air as much as possible before you get put in the clink!

Ha!

But really, it's good to see a dirty politician get taken down. He and John Edwards could request to be bunkmates, maybe!

We'll keep U updated on the sentencing!

One down. We caught this one and so now we should be on the prowl for numerous other politicians that represent us that are breaking how many different laws. Let's make it a mid year resolution that we break down all the slime that is in office. Get rid of them all. Oh wait, there won't be anyone left in office.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Had 'Extremely Tense' Argument Over Bringing Their Kids To Syria For Charity Work -- Did Her UN Ambitions Cause Split?!

And now, more news about this divorce is coming to light from both camps.

According to reports out Sunday morning, Angelina Jolie's political ambitions with the United Nations may have caused a rift between her and Brad Pitt, at least based on a source "close to the couple."

TMZ is reporting that Jolie's dream had been to become a top official with the UN -- which makes sense, considering all the charity work and traveling to developing nations that she does -- but that didn't fly at home with Brad.

Brad, apparently, was especially upset about
