Source: Feds take [Illinois] Gov. Blagojevich into custody

Chicago Tribune ^ | 12/09/08

[KeyLargo]

A source said today that Gov. Rod Blagojevich was taken into federal custody at his North Side home this morning. The U.S. attorney's office would not confirm the information, and a spokesman for the governor did not immediately return a phone call for comment.

I understand when “Politician is arrested” is announced everyone assumes it’s a Democrat.

When you hear the word, “terrorist” you assume they are Muslims.

“Not all corrupt politicians are Democrats, but most Democrat politicians are corrupt.”

Hot cup of coffee and news like this ... it’s fixing to be a good morning.

LOL. Popcorn’s a sore subject with me at the moment. Mr. Mew dropped his big bag of faux-buttered popcorn all over me when we were at the movies a couple of weeks ago. I’m still finding bits in my purse.

Correction - Downstate Illinois voters tend to vote fairly conservative, the tipping scale is the Socialist Republic of Chicago

[Finalapproach29er]

God is shattering the Chicago Democrat machine; they will start turning on each other and blabing secrets.

BHO’s dirty laundry may come out. Stay tuned!

[retrokitten]

They aren’t gone. I’ve got a couple of stories. LOLOLOL

10 to 15 million dollars! Poor Don Wade, he was out of his league going for that Senate seat!

[mewzilla]

......also positions in the new cabinet FOR SALE...

Holy moly.

Jeez louise, I hope the Feds are serious about cleaning this up.

Note to the Feds: Can you pencil in NYS while you're at it? Thanx.

[maggief]

What are you listening to?

[penelopesire]

“A cabinet post or ambassadorship for himself.”

NEWSFLASH...WHICH MEANS HE WAS DEALING WITH OBAMA TOO? Only Obama can give the idiot an AMBASSADORSHIP OR CABINET POST!!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Conjecture, sure, but not beyond the realm. Opossum has a lot favors to take care of...

[lainie]

No joke!

Who knew the IL senators were so in-the-pocket.

HMMM

Feds take (DEMOCRAT) Gov. Blagojevich into custody

..."you better take another trip to Hawaii to visit your other grandmother"

[Cheerio]

This scumbag has a 4% approval rating in Illinois and yet the state gave Hussein 70% of the vote.Are the voters of IL schizophrenic or something?

There does seem to be a problem with some of the population back there around IL, WI, and MN. As I have stated before my MN brother just completed a visit and we were talking about his state truly deserved a tax cheating pornographer for Senator and he says members of our own family state openly they would vote for a monkey before ever pulling a lever for a Republican, That is how bad they hate Republicans. They cannot be reasoned with, it is something in their DNA. Once a RAT, it seems it sticks forever no matter who the candidate is. Once a RAT has gotten a handout from their RAT masters, they will never be turned - this is what foretells of disaster with the pending conversion of 30 million illegal aliens into voters. Non of them will be pulling the GOP lever, if given their freedom by the RATS, coupled with lots of public treasury goodies.

It was nice being a GOP while it lasted.

I just pray the cards continue to fall in Chicago. Take ‘em all down.

[penelopesire]

LOL. Maybe morning margaritas?

[arkady_renko]

BHO’s dirty laundry may come out. Stay tuned!

No. It won't come out from Blago. Hopefully, this will involve Mayor Daley though.

[Raster Man]

This is the political world that Obama thrived in. Blago is spineless and will sing like a canary once the Feds squeeze him. Maybe Durbin will write a letter to Bush asking the Pesident to pardon this governor, too.
