Illinois governor taken into federal custody.

[1480]

At 0615hrs, the FBI took our illustrious gub'na and his chief of staff into custody on some rather, nasty allegations:

Blagojevich and Harris were accused of a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy that included Blagojevich conspiring to sell or trade the Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama in exchange for financial benefits for the governor and his wife. The governor was also accused of obtaining campaign contributions in exchange for other official actions.

I know, I will be nice and not mention where our president elect is from....:rotfl:

Or whose senate seat the good governor was trying to sell...

I heard about this and my first thought was ... "how on earth did he ever expect to get away with this". Then I realized what district it was and its history.

I wonder who gets to sell the Governor's position?:hmm:

Everything is for sale in Illinois. I believe the word in Algonquin means "lets make a deal." :rotfl:

I'll be live blogging tonight from Lake Geneva WI, doing a couple of days in god's country. Will be trying to teach my little one to ice skate. Any other news that I do not catch please post. Will be doing the RL thing and such. We will be going to the Jelly Belly factory in Pleasant Prairie WI so my tummy should be a mess by 1500hrs. If you hear that Jake Peavy is a cub, again post the good news.

Not sure as of yet, I still have to exhaust all the funny mushrooms I garned from bovine feces back in the 70's. I am toying with the possibility of branding a new magical mushroom pizza franchise, perhaps with Tommy Chong as a spokesperson for endorsement.
