    Illinois Governor Arrested

    Wow! He's accused of selling the Senate seat vacated by Obama, among many other things.

    Two Illinois Govs in a row afoul of the law.

    Unfortunately, I think along with Louisiana and New Jersey, we have the most corrupt state government in the union.

    This sort of thing happens way too often here.

    Yes it does...but nobody here knows of any other way to run a place...


    We're taking bets at the office on how long before Daly goes the same route.

    My money's on 'Never'. He learned from the legend.

    Yep. Blagojevich just got stupid, and forgot to consult with Chicago before going through with it. He got uppity and thought that HE ran the state. Ha.

    That's just stupid.

    How do you expect to NOT get caught doing that? Just think about it-all someone who wants the Senate seat has to do is keep any correspondence and turn it in to the authorities, then run on being the reformer who refused to play ball with the corrupt.

    Re: Illinois Governor Arrested

    At least give Louisiana a little credit. We (including "me" because I live in that district) threw William "Dollar Bill" Jefferson out of Congress!!!! He's the guy who had a freezer full of bribe money.
    Nobody really knows who this Vietnamese dude is that we elected, but Anh "Joseph" Cao (evidently pronounced "Gao") is not Bill Jefferson, and that's the main thing. Hey, it's a start!!

    Honestly, I was more happy about Cao upsetting Jefferson than I was about OU hitting Mizzou for 60.
    You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.

    So it says Blago is financially strapped. How bad is it and how is he in IL politics and isn't stinking rich???
