A disgusted US attorney just said he considers Illinois to be the most corrupt state in America.
US attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said the Governor is heard on federal wiretaps trying to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat like he was a “sports agent”!
Gov. Blagojevich was heard on tape saying, “we can’t just give [Obama]’s seat away.”
Fitzgerald said the scope and breadth of the political corruption was “Staggering”. Fitzgerald said Gov. Blagojevich threatened the Chicago Tribune for writing critical articles about the ongoing investigation.
The Tribune allegedly went to the US attorney to complain the paper was being extorted by the governor’s office! Gov. Blagojevich threatened to fire the paper’s editors!
i beg to differ on the headlines, i think its actually memphis
actually my money is on atlantic city…..
A hooker and a Baptist minister having sex in a seedy motel room, where a camera was hidden in a clock radio. A videotape delivered to a radio talk show host by someone wearing oversized glasses, a fake beard and surgical gloves. Even by the flamboyant corruption standards set by Atlantic City’s government over the decades, this was one for the books. Former City Council President Craig Callaway was sentenced Thursday to three years in prison for his role in setting up council rival Eugene Robinson with a prostitute in a motel room and secretly videotaping the encounter. “From the inception of Atlantic City, there has been a culture of corruption here that has never washed away with the tide,” said Virginia McCabe, an Atlantic City radio host who received the first copy of the sex tape. “It’s what Atlantic City grew up on and handed down from one generation to the next.”

I guess he had to say Illinois because Washington D.C is a province and not state, right? LOL
@Kym… GOTCHA
gotcha back
Hey has anyone hear anything about this.
*sigh*
Since when does someone’s opinion make it fact?
the FBI is declaring another entity as the most corrupt? Well, how about at?
I find it funny…
You usually wouldn’t give 2 shit about the state of Illinois.
The only reason you’re giving this time on your blog is to hate on Obama again.
Cuz thre was corruption in NY earlier this year.
Right….it’s corruption going on right now in Alabama…..with the mayor of Birmingham…..
This story has gone worldwide…..all b/c of Barack.
I agree that YT got his hand all in this….messing it up for Obama.
@Sandi
Are you going to report how Fitzgerald said that President Elect Obama is not implicated in the indictment and that when he is mentioned in recording it is about him not wanting to play ball in anyway other then giving the Gov. a pat on the back and saying good job also that was done by a third party. And also word around Washington is that Obama’s people may be the ones that tipped off the DOJ and gave the evidence that helped them get the wire taps.
