“Blagojevich is expected today to respond to calls for him to quit. According to the Illinois attorney general, Lisa Madigan, he will either resign or agree temporarily to step aside in a deal that would allow him to keep drawing his salary.”

Not according to this other UK newspaper:

According to the Illinois attorney general, Lisa Madigan,

She should recuse herself. She is a candidate for the Senate position herself.

From Michael Sneed's column today in the Chicago Sun-Times:

The Blago beat . . .

Blagojevich, who spent eight hours Thursday and four hours Saturday meeting with attorney Ed Genson -- who may ramrod Blago's legal team -- is "not in a mind to resign" ... yet, a source said, despite an avalanche of requests to do so.

• • Although it looks like Blago is heading toward resignation, an abrupt move now is not imminent -- and he doesn't want a resignation seen as an indication of guilt. The gov is still weighing all his legal options. Stay tuned.


I've found her to be pretty spot on about a lot of things.

More likely:

"Blagojevich is expected today to respond to calls for him to keep quiet."

Madigan’s and the MSM’s wishful propaganda.
So isn’t Madigan akin to JJJr and Mary the Moon baby. They have inherited positions.
