Rod Blagojevich Tweets his innocence

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich had just started a Twitter account to chart his progress through his trial on federal corruption charges, when the judge shut him down.

USA Today:
As opening arguments began today in the corruption trial of Rod Blagojevich, the judge in the case had a stern warning for the former Illinois governor: No tweeting.


This has done little to stem the tide of Twitter comments made about Blagojevich and his corruption case as evidenced by the following:
