Illinois Governor Tried to Sell Obama's Senate Seat.

Gotta love that Chicago party of "change."

How about we not jump to the conclusion that Blago's actions are associated with our President-elect? There are millions of voters in Illinois who have hated Blago (and his corruption) for years now. Legislators who have introduced legislation just so we can kick him out.

Blago is not the posterboy for all of Illinois. It's sad that not only do we have to deal with Chicago being seen as nothing but a machine politics city, but now we have this to deal with.

When I first saw the headline, I thought it must be fake a la Onion. Too over-the-top . . . is that hair really his?

Apparently everything the man does is a little too over the top. There's been rumors floating around that he was thinking of appointing himself to Obama's senate seat since September.

This household voted yes on the legislation to remove political figures. I can't speak for myself (since I'm new here) but my boyfriend, his family, all his friends - each one has a different reason to hate the guy. 90% of which are longtime democrat supporters.

I don't know if that's some type of toupe, but I think his hair is a riot.

I agree. Bman does not represent all of Illinois. There are other Illinois politicians who have done good things for the state.
