So in a new dramatic and most idiotic move made yet by a Governor of Illinois (don't forget that the last one is currently in jail):
"CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday on charges he brazenly conspired to sell or trade President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder as part of what federal prosecutors called a "political corruption crime spree." "
Awesome!
I mean seriously this guy must have big brass ones to think that he could literally auction off a senate seat to the highest bidder; oh and by the way somehow not get caught? Bill Gates could have totally gone for a power grab and outbid everyone. Heck I would have submitted a bid if I had enough money. I mean why bother with the whole political process when you can just pay for it? And a senate seat is 1/100. Its good to know the citizens of Illinois have such good choices of character. Poor Barack, you're going to have to answer for this even if you had nothing to do with it. However, you two did share a relationship with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, another solid citizen who is awaiting sentencing for charges of using Blagojevich's administration to help his $7 million dollar kickback scheme.
Awesome!
So for the record not only was he trying to auction the senate seat, he was getting kickbacks for state sponsored jobs for 'friends' (allegedly he was pissed that 2.5mil he expected for kickbacks to the campaign was late) now THAT is a solid citizen. Have fun in jail asshole. Say hi to the last Governor for me.
