The day before he’s hauled off in cuffs, Governor Blago is asked about the “cloud hanging over” his administration. His answer - among other gems in this 2 1/2 laugh out loud clip - is “There’s no cloud over me. We’ve got nothing but sunshine.” Pretty soon, the janitor at the state capitol will be calling on Blago to resign. Why not? Everyone else has. Jesse Jackson Jr. is “Candidate No.5″ Or is it 4 or 6?
