I just saw the following article on Yahoo's website. OH MY GOSH! Granted we did not like Governor Blagojevich....but GOOD GRIEF! It's bad enough that I'm mad at Hawaii's Governor Lingle, But this THIS is outside of ENOUGH! Arrrrghhhhh!
CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested today on charges that accuse him of trying to benefit from his ability to appoint President-elect Barack Obama's replacement in the U.S. Senate.
The U.S. Attorney in Chicago says federal investigators bugged Blagojevich's campaign offices and placed a tap on his home phone. At a news conference on Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said the corruption charges represent "a truly new low."
An FBI affidavit says the 51-year-old Democrat was intercepted on wiretaps conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife.
I move to a state with a childish governor and find that the state I left has an even worse one. Sheesh! My day is not off to a promising start.
I should also mention that our previous Illinois Governor (Ryan)is presently asking for a presidential pardon from President Bush. He's in jail right now on corruption charges. Arrrrghhhhhhhhhh........
We do have some prize winning governors, don't we? And it never seems to stop, pretty discouraging! I know just how you feel!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what worries me more, his corruption, or the fact that he's so stupid he learned NOTHING from Sarah Palin's leaks earlier this year. Does he really think a governor's phone and other correspondence isn't tapped into in some way? Good grief.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on leaving him behind!
It that something..how could a person be so dishonest.....I am also sorry about yout blinds. I have shade anxiety as they have to be measured correctly and something always goes wrong. Again, why can't people do their job the way it is supposed to be done...Love your Santa below, you just need some snow..Sorry for combining my comments as I have trouble with this type of comment for some reason..
ReplyDeleteit's a strange world we live in. hopefully our new president will set a higher standard and hold others to it.
ReplyDeleteI continue to be amazed that people like this get elected! Like our current president! You really never know for sure what you're getting when you vote, but in this day and age the vetting should be more thorough. This guy seems like a nut case.
