Faux News? Who believes them?

:lol:

I looked at the source and hesitated for just this reason!

If it's true dude and his wife need to go away for a very long time. I'll be the first to admit that when Obama is done their terms will probably be done also.

illinois had issues with him prior to the last election, but the GOP is even worse and put forth their usual weak canidate....if they had a even half way viable canidate, he would not have been re-elected

Illinois has issues with this historically. Kind of like the mayor of chicago situation, no one can get rid of Daley. And as he ages, he's getting his son all ready for the role.

It suffices to say every time GWB is in town Mayor Daley is out in all feathers waiting to take him out to dinner. I kid you not.

Wishing you ten-fold that which you wish upon all others.

He's gonna have to... ironically he didn't do a whole lot during the campaign cycle beyond voicing support for the hometown kid. Read a few articles about that somewhere. But the record is pretty clear... Mayor Daley is part of a political machine that Obama has had very little to do with, contrary to the frivolous accusations we heard during the campaign period and surely will continue hearing from the nutjob squad.

Good ol' old time Chicago style corruption.

Bahaha!

Between that, Daley's shenanigans to get the Olympics here, and the Chicago Tribune and the LA Times filing Chapter Eleven...it has been interesting to say the least.

:devil:

HAL 9000 disagrees. On both counts.

Ovomit is in on it, guarantee it, they were going to split the money among one another. This is going to come out soon. :devil:

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been taken into federal custody at his home, the Chicago Tribune reported on Tuesday citing unnamed sources.

The newspaper said on its website that the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago would not confirm the information.

Blagojevich was the subject of a federal corruption probe.

What, Blagojevich should resign to save getting impeached? Heard that on the news this morning, love it with these guys, they get away with murder. Was shocked to see the police handcuff a kid for stealing a candy bar in a store, while these guys steal millions if not billions and get off Scot free. Ain't fair.

Many are calling for his resignation. A crime's a crime though... he'll likely have to do some time.

What is a lowly governor supposed to do? I mean he has gots to eat man! Besides it is business as usual in the great state of Illinois that has spawned this next president of the USA. You think the last 8 years were crooked and corrupt, just wait, for you have not seen nothing yet, until The MEssiah gets done in the next 4 years of corruption!

:innocent:

Wingnut squad of the schizophrenic variety now wants to connect the Blago with Obama. It was only a matter of time. But bravo, wingnut squad, bravo indeed. :lol::wacko::devil:

With so much attention and potential backlash, I highly doubt it. Besides- you should have heard all the evidence supposedly quoted by US Attorney Fitzgerald. Pretty hot stuff.
