Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested this morning at his Chicago home. He has been under a cloud of corruption for quite a while now. So you think he would keep a low profile and dial it back a little.
In spite of that fact, the feds contend that he was trying to sell Obama's now vacant (not that Obama actually sat in it much) Senate seat. This in addition to all the other things that the feds had been looking at already. Obama seems to have nothing to do with this new scandal. But it shows wheres he is from.
So was Blagojevich stupid or so arrogate he thought he could get away with it? I sure don't know. It would seem to lean to stupid with the other part of scandal involving trying to shake down the Chicago Tribune for state aid. You wonder if yesterdays bankruptcy has something to do with it.
More as this develops.
