Hopefully the take away here for the other crooks is 'I had better not do that or I might go to jail'.

I am afraid what they will think is 'Blago was dumb. I am too smart to get caught'.

Ben Franklin once said, "A public office is a public trust". I wonder if he was the last one to think that way.

Look at Vegas. You and I both know that the odds of you winning consistently are astronomical yet someone always says "I know the odds are bad but I just developed a new system that will......". Think the buildings out there were built on winners?

If he had pissed off Dick Cheney he may have gotten away with a few pellets of birdshot in the face.

This is how many criminals get busted. They piss off another criminal who calls the police. Or, criminal A gets busted and the police threaten to give him the max so he tells all on criminal B who is unliked. B gets time. This is one of the reasons that politics is a natural for criminal activity, must be well liked to be successful in both. It's all just a big playground for sociopaths.

Vote, then you can pretend you did your best.
You would think they could have reduced his sentence in exchange for evidence of other crooks and crookery?
