It’s Chi-town politcs, get used to it because Obama’s bring it into the White House:
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich wanted President-elect Barack Obama “to put something together…something big” in exchange for going along with Obama’s choice to fill his vacant U.S. Senate seat, according to a FBI affidavit unsealed following the governor’s stunning arrest.
“I’ve got this thing and it’s f***ing golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for f***in’ nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And I can always use it. I can parachute me there,” Blagojevich said in a phone call secretly recorded by the FBI on Nov. 5, the day after the election, according to the affidavit.
“It is conduct that would make Lincoln roll over in his grave,” said U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in announcing the charges today in Chicago.
He said the governor’s efforts to “sell” the Senate seat was the “most sinister and appalling” of a range of alleged corrupt acts detailed in today’s case.
ABC has the affidavit. Michelle Malkin is dishing the dirt on Governor Bloggojevich’s lovely wife, who was knee deep in this scandal, and the ultra corrupt S.E.I.U who are aways involved in Democrat corruption.
Via Drudge, Obama says he had no contact with Blagojevich, yet David Axelrod has made statements to the contrary. Hmmm.
It looks like Obama’s got his own problems on the horizon however.
