Chicago-style politics back in the news. What do you all make of it? Gov Blagojevich accused of trying to "sell" BO's vacated senate seat? And BO knows nuuuuthink? (sorry, we watched Hogan's Heroes replays last night. Always loved Sgt Shultz) BO said he never talked to Blog about it but Axlerod said a few weeks back that BO had talked to Blog about the seat, then Axle now says he mispoke. Hmmm. Makes you wonder. BO is such a smart guy but he never knew what Rezko did, never heard Rev Wright say anything bad in the 20 years he was a member of that congregation...Something funny is going on here. It will be real interesting if Bloggie squeals. Somehow I sniff an Emmanuel sending Blog more than a dead fish in the mail.
And Jesse Jackson, Jr had a 90-minute meeting with Blog about the seat but NO money was ever discussed. Uh huh.
This is all getting very tasty.

Here's a sidebar from the Onion:
Illinois Governor Arrested

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday on corruption charges stemming from an alleged conspiracy to sell or trade the Senate seat left vacant by Barack Obama. What do you think?
Ethan Strouth,
Mailroom Worker
"I was moved by the governor's heartfelt plea that he be given his fucking money back."

Denise Simmonds,
Dog Groomer
"I should have never had those 'Spitzer-Blagojevich 2012' lawn signs printed up back in February."


John Edwards,
Lawyer
"How much are Senate seats going for these days? I only paid $75,000 for mine back in ’98."

Read this for Jesse Jr's statements. He may be candidate 5 but he never offered to make a $500,000 contribution to Blogo nor did he send an emissary to do so.
