Re: Illinois Governor Blagojevich in federal custody

not only is the guy a total asshole, he's also a fucking idiot. Who talks openly on an telephone line about how he wants cash for a Senate seat? what a dumb piece of shit...

oh, and as if that wasn't enough this dumbfuck also likes to shake down children's hospitals for cash.

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/09/blagojevich.affidavit/?iref=mpstoryview

On October 8, Blagojevich told a person described only as "Individual A" that he was willing to make $8 million available for Children's Memorial Hospital, but "I want to get [Hospital Executive 1] for 50."

Individual A felt that Blagojevich was talking about a $50,000 campaign contribution from the hospital's chief executive officer and that the $8 million referred to a recent commitment by Blagojevich to secure state funds via "some type of pediatric care reimbursement."

"Intercepted phone conversations between Rod Blagojevich and others indicate that Rod Blagojevich is contemplating rescinding his commitment of state funds to benefit Children's Memorial Hospital because Hospital Executive 1 has not made a recent campaign contribution," the affidavit says.

can we just give him the death penalty? please?

Sounds like he's not going to resign and fight to keep his job. God, I hope so and it gets to be an even bigger mess in Illinois. I hope he starts naming other corrupt politicians too.
