Got To Love Our Governor!!

As you all know, Rod Blagojevich has been arrested on charges of conspiring to sell Barack Obama’s open Senate seat. I just find it sad that Illinois seems to be developing a terrible track record in Springfield in regards to corruption/scandals. I am sure this thread will get big with opinions, keep em coming.

Must have been hurting for money to risk it with all the other things that are going on around him.

I am really not surprised about this, it's a shame that our previous governor is still serving his sentence while another one joins him.

Corruption and greed is a horrible thing...

Not surprised but still hard to believe. Doesn't anyone have a sense of ethics anymore? Here's the gov's Christmas card.

Sad thing is I really don't think he is doing anything different from the rest of them, People are now starting to get caught....Ryan is a good example. US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is a real bad ***!

This makes for our 3rd governor of Illinois to get sent to prison for corruption. Funny thing, despite hard evidence against Blagojevich, he claims he did nothing wrong. So I guess it is ok for any of us to basically bid out a seat on the senate for self interest? Let me not forget to add the countless bribes and bids that are on tape as well.
