Illinois Govenor

I received a shock yesterday morning when looking at the news online, our esteemed governor had been arrested. I never have been real impressed with Blagojevich; it's hard to be impressed with a governor who refuses to spend time in the state capital and has horrible relationships with almost every other elected official and the state legislature.
The kicker is what made the US Attorney go ahead with the arrest before the indictment... WIRE TAPS of the governor's home show that he was trying to sell an appointment to the vacant Illinois senate seat. Blagojevich felt entitled to compensation for appointing someone to fill the President Elects former seat. It's completely unbelievable that someone would try to use an appointment to Congress to fill their own pockets.
