Just when you Thought Political Corruption was at an Apex...

The Democratic Governor of Illinois was arrested today on several charges, all involving corruption and bribery.

3 of 11 Illinois governors in the last 35 years have been indicted on corruption charges. So Chicago's Political rep remains fast.

The question now: What have the liberals done, foisting Chicagoan Obama on the rest of us?

From 10connects.com in Tampa FL:

"[US Attorney Patrick] Fitzgerald said hardened agents who monitored wiretaps and bugs of Blagojevich's conversations were "thoroughly disgusted and revolted" by what they heard.

"Asked if Illinois was the most corrupt state in the country, Fitzgerald said he didn't know for sure but that It is "certainly one hell of a competitor."
