Illinois Governor Arrested For Selling Obama's Senate Seat?




The Really: The Governor of Illinois Busted for selling Obama's seat? For extorting the Chicago Tribune? For dealings with Obama's friend Rezco? Blog*Goy*A*Vich Pronounciation Key

Arrested this morning along with his chief of staff, the long tradition of Illinois governors going to the slammer will be upheld once again. Obama's seat in the Senate may have been up for sale? The Chicago Tribune is involved?! Rezco? (perhaps the most damaging "association" of President-elect Obama?)

Is this Chicago politics at its worst? Or best? What other Illinois Governor's have gone to jail (recently)? Ryan supporters were trying to get Bush to commute the sentence of the last Illinois Governor still in the hoosecow, George Ryan: Ryan becomes the third Illinois governor in recent history to be convicted of white-collar crimes, following Dan Walker and Otto Kerner. Ryan becomes the second Illinois Secretary of State with evidence of an affinity for cash, following Paul Powell who upon his death was found to have $800,000 in shoe boxes in his hotel room.
