Illinois Governor arrested
Illinois Governor Rod Blagoevich, a Democrat, was arrested today. Among the charges were that he tried to sell the appointment to Obama’s former Senate seat.
While, in the short term, this is bad news for the Democrats, as was the loss of Democrat William Jefferson, Congressman from New Orleans, in the long term they’ll be better off without those crooks bringing down their name.
The long tradition of corruption in Chicago and Illinois in general continues. What an embarrassment to the city and state. Its pretty bad when 4 of the last 8 governors from Illinois are serving time in prison. Just hope that Obama can keep his nose clean through all of these associations. He has done it so far.
