How long did he think he was going to last?

[Mr70]

Boy is this a long time coming.
They're gonna have to build a Governors wing at Joliet correctional.
First Gov.Powell,then Gov.Kerner,then Gov.Walker,then Gov.Ryan,now Blogo busts out and makes them all look like first year cubscouts..He's the first Il. Gov. to be taken away in handcuffs while still in office.
The decisions,actions,allegations of corruptness and just plain bold stupid statements of our Governor have been mind boggling to all of us for some time.
Today the FBI is assembling a list of people who were to afraid or to ignorant to come forward that have evidence of corruptness and encounters first hand w/Blogo that were previously ignored up until today.
The big question everyones asking is,How widespread is this?
The FBI's motto during all of this is,"Get on the Bus,or get thrown under it".

If there's any consolation in all this,it's that Illinois government can only go up from here.

Knock on wood..

I just do not believe we have crooked politicians in this country. Not possible. These people love us and only care about our well being. Money means nothing to them. It's all about serving the people. What's next? No Santa?

Let's see....

Governor Blagojevich is involved in bribery and corruption. Blagojevich will be going to jail.

Blagojevich was elected to office because of the massive corruption charges of our previous Governor, George Ryan.

George Ryan was convicted as sentenced to 6-1/2 years in prison because of massive corruption charges. Before he left office (in 2003), as a last gasp attempt to have the courts shorten his sentence, George Ryan commuted the death sentences on every prisoner (167 in all). Didn't work, he's still in jail.

Illinois Attorney General William Scott was convicted in 1991 on income tax charges involving misuse of campaign funds.

U.S. Rep. Daniel Rostenkowski was convicted in 1994, when he was indicted on corruption charges for his key role in the House post office scandal. He was forced to step down from all Congressional leadership positions. In elections later that year, Rostenkowski lost his seat and retired from political life. Bill Clinton pardoned him in 2000.

Operation Silver Shovel, a federal probe into Chicago city government, ended in 1996 with 18 convictions and guilty pleas from public employees and six aldermen.

Operation Greylord, a federal probe into the Chicago court system, was completed in 1988 with convictions and guilty pleas from 87 court personnel and attorneys, including 13 judges, who all went to jail.

And we sent Illinois Senator Obama to Washington D.C. to "clean things up". Makes you wonder how Obama obtained $750 million in campaign funds, huh?

The biggest crooks in the country are politicians.... This guy just seemed to think he was John Gotti and made of teflon. Talk about being cavalier .... he must have thought he was invisable.

Believe you me, I warned as many people as I could about Barack Hussein Obama. But the media, naive young people, and those that wanted to "make history" in electing an African-American President, out voted me.
