The strongman governor of Ill-noise has been arrested and taken into custody:
llinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich and his Chief of Staff, John Harris, were arrested today by FBI agents on federal corruption charges alleging that they and others are engaging in ongoing criminal activity: conspiring to obtain personal financial benefits for Blagojevich by leveraging his sole authority to appoint a United States Senator; threatening to withhold substantial state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of Wrigley Field to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members sharply critical of Blagojevich; and to obtain campaign contributions in exchange for official actions – both historically and now in a push before a new state ethics law takes effect January 1, 2009.
Or, as they call it in Shit-caca, “business as usual”.
And you damnfools just elected one of The Machine’s™ own.  Nice.
Demoscummic dumb-asses.

This just in……seems he wanted to give Warren Buffet the smackdown too.
Politico article is here.
And I’ve seen reports stating that Chief of Staff-elect Rahm Emanuel was the one who blew the whistle on “Blago” as the MSM is now calling him. I shudder to do this (sorry Darth), but that article is here from the HuffPo.
Ewwwwww, I need to bleach my fingers now…..excuse me while I get them de-slimed.
Chicago politics always brings this song to mind.
Closing tag typo fixed.
[No worries.  I got it.  -DV]
Blago’s trying to get away! Calling all cars! Stop him!
