Shuddup? For realz? How embarrassing for the Gov. This is like a farcical SNL skit!

[Divine Discontent]

Selling the senate seat? Calling Obama a 'm(****f****r' who just wants to give "appreciation" for picking who Obama hopes he'll pick? Oh-Em-Gee! BiZaRrO wOrLd!

Obviously, this pig should step aside.

Is anyone else in utter shock like me - I couldn't believe the breaking headline title when I saw it - this really happened - is he truly that DUMB to think such a high profile decision wasn't going to be scrutinized heavily, especially after his already questionable ethics being challenged and watched?

wow... and here I thought Senator Craig was going to be the top story today, losing his appeal for his foot tapping!

and on a side note - I wonder how much THIS lady knew of her husband's deal to sell the Senate seat?

1. Jimmie Walker probably called FDR a M**********r also.

Your enemies do you credit.

11. is that the "Dy-no-mite" guy?

13. If only! America's 2nd most corrupt mayor at the time. 2nd only to Frank Hague of Jersey City.

2. He will almost certainly

have to resign. I think that he will find that he has zero support.

[Critters2]

5. Actually, there are people in the Illinois forum supporting him.

Some people are just used to politics being done this way.

[H2O Man]

9. I would

suspect that any support on the "Illinois forum" is a part of the "zero." There were some republicans who supported Nixon to the end. But he didn't have the support that mattered. His chances of survival were zero.

In this case, for the governor to survive, he needs the support of those who matter -- and no one of consequence is going to defend him.

12. Those people are just like Bush's 20%ers, isn't Blagojevich's approval rating in the teens? n/t

[Divine Discontent]

8. good, hearing you say that makes me believe he will have to then

I cannot believe in any way this guy can remain as gov of the state after this - he'll be literally hounded 24/7 if he doesn't, and even then for some time if he does!

[H2O Man]

10. It's only a matter of time.

He can't survive.

[Divine Discontent]

14. a state senator (I think) just said on CNN that impeachment proceedings will happen if he doesn't

resign soon, of course, I'd hope to prevent him from appointing someone to the Senate....

amazing people like him can get elected... such a creep! When B*sh got in I said, anyone can get elected to ANYTHING...

[awoke_in_2003]

16. "amazing people like him can get elected"

What type of person do you think actually make up our governments? And yes, it is sad.

[Critters2]

3. I take it you're not from Illinois.

And that "lady" was involved in her husband's deal to sell the Senate seat. I figure her indictment is coming down the pike, too.

[Divine Discontent]

6. correct, I'm not. so it's that obvious with the Gov. and his wife? amazing they lasted this long!

[firedupdem]

4. She knew...as a matter of fact I think he bribed somebody to get

her a job. I'll find the link.

[Divine Discontent]

7. thank you! eom

[Renew Deal]

15. Where did she get the Thriller jacket?

:shrug:

17. Michael has to raise money

somehow.
