Mexico Under Siege The drug war at our doorstep.

6285 deaths since January 2007 - that is more than the U.S. fatalities in the Iraq war.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Illinois Gov. Blagojevich, chief of staff, arrested

Quote:

UPDATE: Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were arrested by FBI agents on federal corruption charges Tuesday morning.

Blagojevich and Harris were arrested simultaneously at their homes at about 6:15 a.m., according to Frank Bochte of the FBI. Both were transported to FBI headquarters in Chicago.

In one charge related to the appointment of a senator to replace Barack Obama, prosecutors allege that Blagojevich sought appointment for himself as secretary of Health and Human Services in the new Obama administration, or a lucrative job with a union, in exchange for appointing a union-preferred candidate.

Another charge alleges Blagojevich and Harris conspired to demand the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members responsible for editorials critical of him in exchange for state help with the sale of Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs baseball stadium owned by Tribune Co.

It gets worse, much worse. Read on.

I'm hoping that someday Illinois can have a governor who is not both stupid and criminal.

Hey! you are there - Give us the inside scoop!

dar512 · 12-09-2008, 03:24 PM

No inside scoop here. Rod B. does not call me to cry on my shoulder.

He's been under investigation for some time. I guess they finally got the goods on him. Previous governor Ryan was also a crook.

Then you'll just have smart criminals who don't get caught, like the rest of the states.

Hearing rumors that Rahm Emanuel may have been the one to pull the plug on Blagojevich.

Shawnee123 · 12-10-2008, 09:45 AM

The goings-on of Governor Blagojevich begs the question:

Why do all corrupt politicians have such bad hair? I mean it probably wouldn't be bad hair but they make it bad with large chunks hairsprayed into an unnatural state of surrender.

We could use this criteria in making voting decisions: guys got bad hair, he's going to be corrupt. However, because all politicians with bad hair are corrupt it does not necessarily follow that all bad politicians will have bad hair: Bush's hair wasn't bad at all. However, bad hair = no vote.

I mean, who do guys like this think they're fooling with the bouffant combover?

Really Pie? I hadn't heard that one and looking a bit this am I didn't see anything on that either.

huffington post - well that explains why I didn't find it.

What? A news source that isn't worthy of a classic cut-n-paste? I thought nothing of the kind existed.

Pssst. Google.

I did call it a rumor.
