Stop Press: Illinois Governor and Associate Arrested.

Governor Rod Blagojevich and his Chief of Staff, John Harris, were arrested earlier today by the FBI on federal corruption charges.

Patrick J Fitzgerald, United States Attorney for the Northern District 2 of Illinois, stated:

The breadth of corruption laid out in these charges is staggering. They allege that Blagojevich put a ‘for sale’ sign on the naming of a United States Senator; involved himself personally in pay-to-play schemes with the urgency of a salesman meeting his annual sales target; and corruptly used his office in an effort to trample editorial voices of criticism. The citizens of Illinois deserve public officials who act solely in the public’s interest, without putting a price tag on government appointments, contracts and decisions.”

Are we, the residents of Illinois, surprised by this occurrence?

Not at all. The corruption of Illinois officialdom is rife.

  1. WWW – I note Obama was painfully quick to distance himself from the matter. In fact, in my opinion, given that he was an Illinois senator and must have had dealing with Blagojevich, he appeared to place almost too much distance between himself and the Illinois governor. I guess time will tell.
