Governor Rod Blagovjech's Chirstmas Story

This Holiday Season good spirits and and cheer are running wild. However, not for Governor Blagojevich of Illinois who was a arrested on Tuesday morning, Dec. 9th. on charges of corruption. While Barack Obama working diligently awaiting his innaugeration, his Senate seat remains with only a handful of suitors and a Governor accepting gifts and bribes before he names the replacement.

"I've got this thing and it's (expletive) golden," and I'm just not giving it up for (expletive) nothing. I'm not gonna do it." stated the disgraced Governor.

It is being reported there are five potential candidates with all but one being named in the media. The speculation is that the 5th candidate has already given $500,000 in hopes of landing the seat. The issue here is criminal behavior, though not mentioned is his complete disdain for the State's Constitution and the people of Illinois. Abusing his power as Governor to name a replacement to the vacant Senate seat for monies, and lucretive positions for himself and wife is thuggery at it's finest. While seeking numerous positions, such as head of Department of Health and Human Services, to be an Ambassador, or hoping for a cabinet position in the White House. I am sure he was not counting on Federal authorities wiretapping his both of his offices. If you wish to commit these crimes, be smart enough to not use your own phone when discussing it, and don't tie the new President-Elect to your idiocy.

It now appears that the disgraced Governor still possesses the power to name someone to the vacant according to the state law. Senator Dick Durbin is calling for a special election to now fill the seat, which I agree with. In Senator Durbin's words "No appointment by this governor, under these circumstances, could produce a credible replacement,"

Blagojevich has been investigated on corruption charges for some time now, and as of the October 31st the wiretapping began. I mention this because the right-wing is going wild with the accusations that President-Elect Obama has some deep ties to Blagojevich . Barack Obama stated Tuesday afternoon that he and the Governor had no contact with each other regarding the vacant seat. This may or may not be true, and if they did and Obama was dishonest, then that conversation would be on tape.

As "this is an ongoing investigation" we will have plenty to comment on at least until the years end. Check back for updates.
