IDIOT

This guy Rod Blagojevich, the Illinois Governor (who had a very low approval rating before this) has been on the wire for months.

Now he got nabbed with an audacious attempt to extort money for Obama's senatorial replacement.

Here is Kevin Drum's great summary:

Blago Update

The former Illinois guv, a Republican, is currently in stir for the same kind of thing.

What is the deal here?

I don't know if Obama gets tainted or not. We will see. Rod was heard saying that Obama's preference wouldn't work because all they would give him was their appreciation.

Still. Good it didn't happen before the election. I will have to score a couple points for the prosecutor for political sensitivity.

It is the suave Patrick Fitzgerald, incidentally. I wouldn't want him on my ass.

Blagohevich even looks like a moroon. And the rug!!

Look at this presser from yesterday before the indictments were handed down.
