Like many other citizens of the great state of Illinois I was only moderately shocked that our governor was awoken by the Feds and hauled over to the FBI office on Roosevelt. I expected that he would be indicted for something to do with Rezko or some other shady deals at some point. I was shocked at the extent of the corruption.
Where does Rod get off thinking that this was ok? So, let's say that the snippets from the wiretaps were taken out of context. I could buy that for one of the allegations. But, really. How could that be true for the Tribune extortion, the shakedown of Children's Memorial, AND filling Obama's Senate vacancy? There is just too much here for Rod to be innocent.
So, here's the question..what's wrong with Illinois? How can our former gov be in prison for selling driver's licenses for campaign cash and now Rod??? Is Rod just stupid or is it arrogance? How could this happen? I guess everyone needs to have a moral compass to guide them. What happens to some of these folks when they get into office? What about Illinois sends the signal to some of our elected officials that this is ok?
I hope this is a wake up call to Stroger and his cronies at Cook County to clean up. I can only imagine the corruption there.
Illinois is a great state and Chicago is even better. We deserve better than this. I hope that Springfield calls a special election to remove any taint from Obama's replacement. I hope Lisa Madigan gets Rod thrown out if he's stupid enough to not resign. I hope that Obama's ppl are clean in on all of this. Hey, they probably helped turn Rod in.
I hope so.
