Illinois Governor, Chicago Mobster, Rod Blagojevich
Illinois Governor, Chicago Gangster, Rod Blagojevich; was released today after cutting a Deal with the judge to go easy on him. That is, that Governor Rod Blagojevich would go easy on the judge. Which, when dealing with Chicago politics, who knows if the judge is straight, or just as corrupt as the rest of that Filthy City Of Dirty Rats?
And in deed the judge (obviously in on the take), released Governor Rod Blagojevich on his own recognizance after his best friend Barack Obama posted bail.
The Illinois Governor, Gangsta, Mobster, Con-man, Psychopath, Abuser of the public trust, and all around "typical" Illinois resident; was taken from his bed and arrested Tuesday after prosecutors alleged he was caught on wiretaps audaciously scheming to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat for Cash, or at least a job for himself in the new administration.
According NewsOK, The charges do not identify by name any of the political figures under consideration for the Senate seat, referring to them only as "Candidate 1," ''Candidate 2," and so on. However, those being considered for the post include: Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett, Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr., Danny Davis, Jan Schakowsky and Luis Gutierrez; Illinois Senate President Emil Jones; and Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.
Tammy Duckworth. What an interestingly odd name.
So I Googled her, and this is what I found.
* Wikipedia- director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Iraq War veteran whose severe combat wounds cost her both of her legs and damaged her right arm. She continues to serve as a Major in the Illinois Army National Guard and is married to Major Bryan W. Bowlsbey who is also an Iraq War Veteran and serves in the Illinois Army National Guard..
WOW!!! Impressive. And obviously not one to be involved in any kind of political scandal. But then I found this...
Now I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence. Seeing as how they both live in the same state and all. But one thing is for sure, until all the facts come out, EVERYBODY is under suspicion.

what's all this talk about calling for Blagojevich to "resign?" ... "throw him in prison" sounds a lot more fitting
it gives me chills to see how calm and collected he continues to act
