Default IL. Gov Nixed Job For Jesse Jr's. Wife

Quote:
CHICAGO "“ Shortly after his 2002 election, Gov. Rod Blagojevich told Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. he didn't appoint the congressman's wife as lottery director because he had refused him a $25,000 campaign donation, a person familiar with the conversation told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "Blagojevich went out of his way to say, 'You know I was considering your wife for the lottery job and the $25,000 you didn't give me? That's why she's not getting the job,'" the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing federal investigation.

Blago is an arrogant tool. He disses republicans and democrats alike in order to get his way. Its said that he and Lt. Gov. Quinn haven't talked in almost 2 years. He and Michael Madigan haven't got along for a few years. Blago will not compromise on anything. It would not surprise me if Blago is deemed mentally incompetent...........thats the talk of local folks here in Illinois.

This is all lies. Only the Republicans are crooks. Pelosi is cleaning the swamp. We have been in the years of ethics. Or at least for the last two years as stated by the Democrats.

Blago needs to be booted out of office then booted into jail. It looks like he spent too much time watching the Sopranos.

Anyone else appreciate the irony of J.J. Jr. being the victim of a shake-down?
