Obligatory Blago Bloggo 3

I have it on good authority from within the center of an Illinois state government office yesterday that there was non-partisan rejoicing on the part of state workers and professional staff.

The exact sentence was, “. . . you’d think it was Bastille Day.”

Apparently, Blago was an equal-opportunity alienator.

    Just another crooked democrat politician from Chicago. Is that supposed to be news?

    Nah. They bat at least 500 in the Illinois governors mansion.

    But the reaction of the state employees is something. Even Vince Fumo was able to inspire loyalty and get an approval rating above 4%.

    Then, again, Fumo is smart. Crooked, but smart. Blago seems to have set a record for stupid.

    He’s innocent. You can believe it because he said so.
