The governor of Illinois was arrested by the FBI this morning on a variety of political corruption charges including trying to sell the former senate seat of President-elect Barack Obama. He is also accused of threatening to withhold state assistance to the Tribune Company related to Wrigley Field and the Cubs because he didn’t like editorial writers at the Chicago Tribune.
Wow.
Here’s a link to the U.S. Attorney’s press release (I’m guessing Senate candidate 5 wore a wire), No doubt the gov’s offices were bugged too.
Hey, there’s a shocker: political corruption and public offices for sale in Mayor Dailey’s Home State, Illinois.
I guess Pete Townshend was right when he wrote, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss”. Huh?
Beyond shameful!, and we send our young troops around the world to die bringing the America way of life to countries that hate us.
Innocent or guilty, the stench is still there, this should be considered TREASON.
God help the USA
