ILL-IN-OIS! ILL-IN-OIS!

Governor Rod Blagojevich arrested for corruption. U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said secret tape recordings showed Blagojevich was attempting "to sell the U.S. Senate seat" that President-elect Barack Obama recently vacated, among other stupidity.

Just yesterday, Blagojevich said at a press conference (YouTube link): "if anybody wants to tape my conversations, go ahead and do it", among other things about taping him and feeling free to send in undercover people with wires. He even mentions Watergate. Too bad he forgot how that one went down.

Illinois makes its own fun. Seriously, this is two in a row--George Ryan (R), and now G-Rod (D). At least we're bi-partisan about our corruption. We reach across the aisle WITH HANDCUFFS.

And honestly, most of us are just laughing uproariously. At least it's something we're good at!
