Oh God, I Can See Forever
Every time I see some passage like this one, I scream inside.
Every time I see some passage like this one, I scream inside.
For years, Rod Blagojevich has projected two images that define his tenure as Illinois' governor.Anyone who's been paying attention has been able to figure out the score from the very beginning. To act as though any of this is some kind of shocking revelation is self-delusion as performance art. Zorn was probably right.
Now, under the lights of a federal investigation, the distinctions are blurring, and the crony image is threatening to wash out the populist one.
For the first time, federal prosecutors have put the Illinois governor inside their widespread investigation of corruption in his administration. Blagojevich told one convicted federal informant, "You stick with us and you will do very well for yourself," according to a court document prosecutors filed.
The Governor's Office denied that he is "Public Official A," described in the document as offering state business to convicted political insiders.
While he has tried to put the blame on lawmakers, his credibility in Springfield already was damaged from a legislative stalemate that has left key aspects of the people's business unresolved: The Chicago Transit Authority is in near meltdown; education reform is in limbo, and the state's deteriorating roads and bridges aren't being repaired for lack of a way to pay for it.

As I like to state over and over, my opinion is Blago is NEXT to go to prison and it is my opinion he will make an EXCELLENT "cellie" for Former Gov Ryan. It will take the next 2 or 3 Illinois Governors going to prison before we finally start seeing some political light here in Illinois. In this case, "Bless the Fed" and TURN ON THE LIGHT! OH SEND THE LIGHT............!!!!! Again, I say, just ask ANY fed agent you may happen to know or run into, and they will tell you, "BLAGO IS NEXT!" I have that straight from the horse's mouth...(many more people share my opinion than we can possibly imagine)
