No Bailout for Blagojevich

“I think there’s nothing but sunshine hanging over me,” said Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Now you and I read this and it would seem like things are going well for the governor....well…maybe if we were reading this on the 8th of December. Because you here Blagojevich say that and then say, “tape my conversations,” gives the impression that this guy has nothing to hide.

But, the governor did have something to hide, and I’m not talking about whatever lies beneath that rug on his head. No! Under that “innocence” laid a plan the FBI sums up best: two charges of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. Really rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Oh, and in case you thought Blagojevich was hiding a different kind of secret, I don’t blame you, you never know what politicians are doing behind closed doors.

So incase you don’t know who Blagojevich is or what he’s done I’ll tell you, actually, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald says it better. “Blagojevich put a for sale sign on the naming of a United States senator; involved himself personally in pay-to-play schemes with the urgency of a salesman meeting his annual sales target; and corruptly used his office in an effort to trample editorial voices of criticism.”

Trying to sell the empty senate seat left by our President-elect, how RIDICULOUS! To think he actually thought he was going to get away with it. It’s is somewhat humorous how there’s been a 3-year probe into the governor’s administration and the day after opens the invitations to record his conversations he’s arrested.

The future for Rod Blagojevich is uncertain but it doesn’t look good. No bailout for Blagojevich.
