SCANDAL THREATENS TO DOG OBAMA

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081210/ap_on_go_pr_wh/illinois_governor_analysis
The arrest of Ill governer Tod Blagojevich by the Feds on corruption charges. The Governor was arrested Tuesday morning for allegedelly trying to sell the Senate Seat vacated by President elect Barack Obama.
The FBI stated that the Governor wanted some favors from candidates in exchange for an appointment. Valarie Jerrett was named as candidate number one but she took herself out of the running. Jesse Jackson Jr. The son of the first sucessful African American man to run for President ending up coming in second. He reportly offered 200,000 for the appointment.
The Governor had some very harsh words for the President elect using a vulger term to refer to the President elect.
The President elect also said that he didn't have any contact with the Governor but in an interview a few weeks ago David Axlerod reported that the Governor and the President elect did in deed talk to the Governor about the appointment.
The Governor also made statements that Michelle Obama was given appointments to boards when she wasn't qualified. I guess this is the Chigaco way.

GOVERNOR OF ILLONOIS ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO SELL OBAMA'S SEAT. WHAT A SCUM BAG

http://kdka.com/national/illinois.governer.arrested.2.883157.html
Are there any honorable politicians in Illinois? The Governor of Illinois was arrested for trying to sell the Senate seat left vacated by President elect Barack Obama. It seems that the feds were wire tapping Governor Blagavich.
Over the summer the feds said they had enough evidence on Blagavich to indict him. This makes me wonder why did this man attempt to sell the seat that this blogger hopes will be filled by an African American. I have never in all my life heard of a Governor who tries to sell a Senate seat. I would hope that most Governors are honest and select people for reasons other then they are able to afford to buy one.
Where is the outrage like their was outrage when the RNC bought Sarah some clothes, which by the way was legal and there was nothing wrong with this. Where is the outrage over a Governor trying to sell a Senate seat? Where is the statement from the Obama team? I know that Obama isn't responsible for what this dirt bag tried to do but he should speak up against this.
