Blagojevich's real crime, I think, is is that haircut.

By: bootieslaya. on 13 Dec 08, 16:55:41
Blago was dealing with foul-mouthed Rahm. Rahm is notorious for speaking like that. I suspect that it is Rahm who cussed up a storm when Blago refused to be bribed by AIPAC money to pick Schakowsky for the seat.

By: FinsterFlummoxing. on 10 Dec 08, 14:34:39
I'm confused! So is my bid for this senate seat no good anymore? Who will be taking the new bids? I really want to buy this senate seat. I will throw in two weeks at my time share in Maui if that will get things moving in the way I would like.

By: joness105639. on 10 Dec 08, 14:17:08
Peter Fitzgerald can only do so much. I love my state and my city. Moving out wont fix it. Nothing short of armed revolt will change things and we don't really trust that even then the guys who end up in power won't be corrupt too. If we revolted, then we'd REALLY be just like an african country wouldn't we? You also have to understand, that there is blue chicago and the rest of the state is red. Th ered part resents chicago. Maybe chicago should become the 51rst state?

Come on!! too ...
By: larchmont08. on 10 Dec 08, 13:54:29
Come on!! too cynical. Your fellow Illini need to wake up. No lobbyists? Full IRS disclosure on campaign finance. Investigate the Investigators? Audit the Audtiors and in a expeditious manner. Needs to happen all over the Northeast. I can't wait to move out of NY. Take my money and move out; three more years. Patterson and Bloomberg both Stink.

By: joness105639. on 10 Dec 08, 13:50:21
As for me, I love chicago, hate the way things are run, but its part of our tradition our heritage. We get riled up about it, but in general accept it as a fact of life. With blagojevitch's approval ratings at 13% as of october, were all dancing in the streets over here. The only way you can live here is if you have a good sense of humor, and a decent bottle of champaign at the ready for when corrupt officals get nabbed.

By: joness105639. on 10 Dec 08, 13:46:06
"Mainly electing quality people" Actually, we've tried that, but dirty money is like engine oil in the political machine. If you dont throw any around, you may look squeekey clean, but the machine cezes up. basically we just vote against whoever is in office and replace them with someone equally corrupt. party nominations probibly involve bribes. Blagojevitch has talked about spending lots of money so that he'll win a third term despite a 13% approval rating (sounds to me like he'll rig it).

That's unfortunate. ...
By: larchmont08. on 10 Dec 08, 13:36:46
That's unfortunate. It's too bad, is was just there on a three day business trip; seemed like a nice city (Chicago) I guess the rest of the state is like New England. People in general really need to wake up and become more active in civic matters. Mainly electing quality people. That's a start. It seems accountability in the U.S. is a scarce commodity. I just can't manage my life like that?

By: DavidvonWurzburg. on 10 Dec 08, 09:04:02
Jay Leno said years ago when asked about his party affiliation, "Neither one..everytime I start feeling like a Republican, they do something greedy, and everytime I start feeling like a Democrat, they do something stupid." Well, Blagojevich the Democrat did many things both greedy and incredibly stupid. Hopefully he will join his Republican predecessor in prison on similar charges. Mark Twain said that in America, we have the finest government money can buy. No changes since the gilded era.

By: joness105639. on 10 Dec 08, 05:11:46
Don't know about new england, but here in the land of corrupt politicians, everyone has to work with what we call "the machine". Yep, of all the United States, ours is the one with a political system that most resembles a third world dictatorship. Doesn't matter if you are democrat, republican, green party or whatever. My Girlfriend is from Taxachusetts, she might know more about that.

By: larchmont08. on 10 Dec 08, 02:32:10
Illinois what a joke!!! Just like Ct,Ma,Vt,NH,RI and of course corrupt NY. Try to educate yourself on scandals over the past 20 plus years and take a good HARD Look at the party involved in these states? A statistical improb? I think not. Republicans have been involved in scandals; YES!! But not in these states. If your going to respond show me a Repub, date and the scandal. Good luck liars!!!
