Rod Blagojevich, Obama, Bush, Frank, Pelosi, et al

And these are the public servants who want to tell us how to run the economy? And the world? For four years they've been investigating Illinois' governor, while he told the Illinois tax payers to tighten their belts, make grandma hostage at the nursing home with unpaid Medicaid bills, and close the local parks, even the ones that were self supporting. And Obama, the man with change and hope in his belly, heard and saw no evil, and spoke only beautiful rhetorical phrases. Meanwhile Blagojevich (is that hair real?) is negotiating a cushy job for himself and his wife with the Obama/Pelosi crowd. Will children's services remove the kids from an unfit home? This place sounds more corrupt than a few renegade Mormans. Who knew what when? Does it really matter? So, do you suppose this is what Biden tried to warn us about? Or was it some other disaster we're suppose to ignore and trust that our leaders know best?

This post has a record number of question marks, at least for me. This Blagojevich story has left me only with questions. My condolences to the citizens of Illinois. I think it's time to clean up Chicago.

And what about the investigation? What did it take to keep this under wraps until well after Nov.4.

Murray sez:
Gov. Blaojevich keeps the Illinois track record alive as he joins Otto Kerner, Dan Walker and George Ryan plus the old Daley machine. Illinois can be considered a training ground for political crooks. But then, the good old U.S.A. is abound with crooked politicians. Makes no difference however as we keep recyling them year after year. Plus there's alway Presidential pardons to help keep even the worst offenders in the loop.

"Writing for the BBC, Matt Frei asks: "When will the Illinois prison authorities finally grasp the nettle and open a governors' wing in Chicago's premier jail?" "
