So, there's been a bit of controversy in Illinois recently. Governor Blagojevich was arrested earlier this week on corruption charges, ranging from trying to sell off Obama's soon-to-be-vacated Senate seat to trying to shake down a children's hospital. This is an obviously cruel and greedy man, quite willing to sell his integrity for fuel money.
Curiously, rumor has it that
Rahm Emmanuel (who was involved with him politically in the past) was partially involved in his capture and may have even been the one whose staff tipped off the police. These rumors are unsubstantiated and most likely aren't true but
in light of other discussions it does make one think. There have been no reports of Blagojevich being seen in the company of Palin's ghost, but the way politics have been going these days I honestly would not be surprised. My country has found a whole new vein of weird to tap.
