I thought it was amusing that they said he was engaging in "pay to play" tactics, in other words, bribe him, and he'll make you a Senator. Blagojevich never wanted to govern, he just wanted money. He was your typical corrupt Illinois politican. Our last Governor is still in jail, now it looks like this one will be going to the slammer too.
Blagojevich's first move as Governor was to double the toll fees on our highways, something no other Governor had the guts to do. And 3 months ago, long before this latest scandal, he had an 11% approval rating. We have lousy roads, crappy public schools, high taxes, our state is nearly bankrupt, and Chicago is the murder capital of America (thanks to Mayor Daly for that honor). These Democrats have done a fine job in this state.
So what can we do about our corrupt Illinois politicians?
We sent one of our Senators (Obama) to Washington D.C. to become President, so he can spread this love to the rest of the country.
