Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich charged with corruption
Dear Illinois Gov.:
Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich
What were you thinking? Duh? I mean really. You’re accused of going on a corruption spree that included attempts to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama.
OK, what exactly were you thinking? Did you think you were Boss Tweed of the days when Tammany Hall controlled New York City politics with an iron hand (and a lot of corruption)? Well, you missed that era by nearly 100 years.
I guess I understand greed, but I don’t understand why people who try to sell Senate seats think they won’t get caught. If you did this, I’m glad you were charged, and I hope you’re punished.
Rod – can I call you Rod? – do you see our nation is facing one of its largest challenges? The economy is in shambles. We are in the midst of a prolonged recession that’s likely to get worse before it improves, according to Obama.
And — if what you’re accused of is true — you were worried only about lining your own pockets? Shame on you. Really.

Blagojevich has been so successful at making himself and his office look ridiculous that about a million people are now able to remember and maybe even spell his crazy name — that’s sort of like an accomplishment, right?

Coffee fiend,
You’re right. I feel proud that I have learned to speel him name, and he has been successful at looking foolish.
Thanks for sharing.
