Oh calm down on this post already. review his conference and give the guy a chance. He has more senority then other candidates anyway. Hold the special election, put the scum bag Gov in jail and move on with it. My 401K is hurting and we don''t have time for this ***.

Like father like son. Shakedown artists. The latest is Gov Rod %u201Cwhat can I shake from you%u201D Blagovich. Remember Tim Mahoney the cheater and liar supposedly running on higher ethics and morals%u2026lol More join the ranks of corrupt Democrats everyday. Here''s a partial list %u2013 John Edwards %u2013 cheater and trial lawyer - Jim McGreevey - Former NJ GOV, Elliott Spitzer - former NY Gov, Acevado - Puerto Rico Gov, Kwame Kilpatrick - Detroit Mayor, Jefferson - LA congressman, Chris Dodd %u2013 CT Sen %u2013 (favorable loan from Wells Fargo) %u2013 Laura Richardson (CA-D) %u2013 defaulted on at least 3 CA homes and got Wash Mutual to reverse the sale after the fact. Sheila Dixon (D) %u2013 Scandalous Baltimore Mayor and the list goes on and on%u2026 Mass State Senator Dianne Wilkerson (D) arrested for taking bribes %u2013 caught on video stuffing cash into her bra. Obama should be proud. Where''s all the media reports claiming a Culture of Corruption in Democratic Party? Hmmm? Seems like we had endless stories in 2006 when it was GOP turn. The media is truly disgraceful. I urge everyone to sell their Media Stocks and Short NY Times (NYSE: NYT) and Washington Post (NYSE: WPO) make money off their bad decisions.

I hope that if Jackson did anything wrong, they rake his nasty, corrupt, whining, hypocritical behind over the coals. He, along with Sharpton are the most two faced idiots on earth. Karma!

I don''t know about everyone else but I really am disappointed in the character, morality and integrity of politicians in this country. They need to keep their zippers up, skirts down and stick to the 10 commandments. If you run in the political circles of Chicago whether you are involved or not you know who''s crooked and who''s doing what and that includes Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson, Jr. It should have been in the public space long ago. We need to start stepping up to the plate and really slamming these crooked people and going after organized crime in this country. Law enforcement can''t do it alone either.

I am responding to Mrmeatspin,
Would love to meet you just to see if you can use the language in your post to my face or any African Americans face. Some of you are funny, you do not hesitate to use racist language in these posts but I would like to see how many of you have the guts to say it. No, you and those like you hide behind computers, hoods, whatever you want to call it. Hey you all got OJ so be happy about that . besides, Obama won fair which is more than I can say for Bush

Mrmeatspin along with a few others on here suffer from the little man symdrome. They''re either small in stature, not really a mans man or they feel like a failure. Therefore, to boost their ego, they sit safefly behind their computers and spew venom all day.

I seriously doubt he would have the nerve to say anything to your face.

I see we''re GUILTY til proven innocent in this country. I''ll wait til I here the facts of the investigation as this story continues to develop, but until then I can only go off of what is said in the article, "There is no independent evidence that Jackson or an emissary approached the governor about an improper deal, according to officials."

I am not saying Obama is corrupt. however I just discovered that Obama was a campaign strategist for Blagojevich in his 2002 gubernatorial campaign. Also, Obama endorsed Blagojevich during both campaigns. Both Obama and Blagojevich have a common compat, Tony Ruzko. Obama lunched with Ruzko (since 1990) and dealt with Ruzko during both his Senatorial campaign and Blagojevich''s gubernatorial campaign. (New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, New Yorker, ABC News)

I see in the indictment there is a Deputy Governor A listed.

Spokeswoman Kelley Quinn on Wednesday said Deputy Gov. Bob Greenlee resigned. (Chicago Sun-Times 12/10/08.)

I am calling it in the air: Greenlee is Deputy Gov. A

Well, not quite! Rahm got wind of their being watched and the exchange of money never happened... Fitzpatrick had to go with conspiracy...but don''''t worry the laundry list of ***** is unraveling...more to come.

The Bush administration had scandals galore so where are those wiretaps, bugging and investigations, it seems like Scooter took the fall for all of it and we all know it wasn''t just Scooter, Scooter didn''t out any CIA agents! lol

[spinproof]

The problem I have with this Illinois scandal is the timing of it, the timing and motive looks more political than legal. US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald''s argument that he acted now before any deals went down because Pres.-elect Obama''s Senate replacement was about to be announced is weak since the Senate can easily reject Ill. Gov. Blagojevich''s nomination. Ill. Gov. Blagojevich was bugged, wiretapped and under investigation for 3 years but US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald decided to act now even though the FBI admits it could have indicted Gov. Blagojevich over a year ago! It looks like a backdoor attempt to derail Pres.-elect Obama from being sworn in. The lost of power finally starts to hit home for sore loser Republicans!
