BUSTED!

Heh. Brad_in_MA sends word that Corruptocrat former IL Gov Blagojevich has been convicted of trying to sell Øbama's senate seat to the highest bidder:

Jury convicts ex-Ill. Gov. Blagojevich at retrial


CHICAGO — A jury has convicted Rod Blagojevich of nearly all the corruption charges against him, including trying to sell or trade President Barack Obama's old Senate seat. Jurors delivered their verdicts Monday after deliberating nine days.

Blagojevich had faced 20 charges, including the Senate seat allegation and that he schemed to shake down executives for campaign donations. He was convicted on all charges regarding the Senate seat.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving fella. How's that reality TV gig looking now, ROD?

That is all.

That's got to be worth something.

@ chiefjaybob-If there were charges brought against a certain speaker here in IL we'd be leaps and bounds closer to having concealed carry.

I have some bad news about Santa for anyone who thinks this is the last Illinois politician who deserves some time in the pokey(getting poked).

@Hat Trick, you are so right about that. I think he's a little more crafty than Blago, though.

I very surprised.
I didn't think there were 12 people in Illinois who thought political corruption was a crime.
