How Do You Buy a Seat?

Scandal, pure scandal in the government! Well, that's nothing new but I can't believe this!
I'm sure y'all know about this Senate Seat business, right. Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested on today for possibly selling the U.S. Senate seat left open by Obama. It was like he was using ebay tactics to get the highest bidder for the "item".

Rod "Baloney sandwich" claimed he did nothing wrong, however he was also charged with illegally threatening to withhold state assistance to Tribune Co., the owner of the Chicago Tribune, in the sale of Wrigley Field. In return for state assistance, Blagojevich allegedly wanted members of the paper's editorial board who had been critical of him fired.

Here more about the charges:


After a few hours in custody, Blagojevich was released on $4,500 bail.

This is a mess and truly a story from a bad TV series. What is in the drag queen's wig was he thinking? The way folks are watching Obama and the Dems, did Baloney sandwich think it was a flash in the pan?

Goodness, just when I thought we had it made...Foolishness.
