The IL Governor is a dirty crook, there is no conspiracy.

Not from BoA, not from the Bush administration.

He is a corrupt asshole who is getting his just desserts.

Don't reflexively try to make excuses for him because he's a Democrat.

Thank God for Patrick Fitzgerald is all I have say.

1. I agree.

2. the investigation and arrest seem justified from what we read today.

the timing of the arrest . . . ?

I'm not so sure.

4. He made his own timing.

I suspect the indictment would have come down today regardless of his BoA antics.

That stunt was just his last gasp at gaining public sympathy.

7. I don't live in Illinois, but it's where my dad's family and my ex-wfe's family are all from

I know Blagojevich is a crook. I hate to think that the BoA episode was just a "stunt."

But even if it was, I still applaud it. The "democrats" in Congress did nothing to ensure that banks would use our hundreds of billions to loosen credit markets. Standing for a union and against a corporate banking monster is a laudable act for any politician, regardless of motive.

8. Blago did nothing to help the cause, and you shouldn't applaud

Pulling that stunt knowing he was about to be arrested hurt the cause.

9. I don't agree.

6. Highly recommend.All this conspiracy talk is burning my butt. Blago is an opportunist corrupt crook.

Blago did his populist stunt hoping to stop or stunt his arrest, not the other way around.
