NBR: He tried to bribe Obama

racegirl723

Our Governor was arrested this morning and I couldn't be more excited!!  His approval rating was at 13% and most Illinoisians have know that there was shady business going on.  After reading the unsealed criminal complaint, the breadth and depth of his corruption is just astounding!!  I hope this guy gets what he deserves!!

The final nail in his coffin was that he attempted to bribe President-elect Obama by appointing Obama's preferred candidate to the now vacant Senate seat in exchange for various things such as a cabinet appointment or ambassadorship, etc.  When Obama wouldn't play, the Governor actually said "Eff them."  Guess he will be SOL for a pardon.

If you want to read the full complaint, which seriously, is a good read, here's the link.
