The Lovely State I Live In

Well, isn't Illinois the famous state these days. Not only do we have this 'wonderful' President Elect, but we also have a 'deeply respected' governor (that is sarcasm you hear).

If you live in Illinois you have always been well aware of how corrupt the system has been. Those who live south of I-80 have always known our votes were wasted when we went to the voting poll, simply because the 'Chicago machine' would always out weigh our votes.

While the rest of the Country and the world are 'shocked' by the allegations against Blago, I personally am just excited that he is finally going down. I am a bit cracked up by the out right arrogance of him in the fact that he continued to 'pay to play' even after he knew the Feds were investigating him. Even more by the fact that he shows no signs of resigning. What balls!

Quite honestly I think the rest of anyone near him should go down too. That includes his Lieut Governor Quinn and then Lisa Madigan. The scariest senario I have heard yet is that once Blago is impeached and Quinn takes over as Governor then he (Quinn) will nominate himself to the Senate seat and that would automatically make Lisa Madigan governor. All of these people KNEW that Blago was like he is and they KNEW he was pulling these stunts. They may not have directly been involved, but they knew and did NOTHING about it. That makes them as guilty as he is in my book. If Quinn truly had the people's best interest at heart he would push the idea of a special election for the Senate seat.

For those of you who are Obama fans.....if you think he was clueless you are smoking something. Again maybe he wasn't directly involved, but he knew....all politicians in Illinois know/knew what goes on.

Wake up everyone....
