Illinois Governor Arrested

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday on corruption charges stemming from an alleged conspiracy to sell or trade the Senate seat left vacant by Barack Obama. What do you think?


“I was moved by the governor’s heartfelt plea that he be given his fucking money back.”

Ethan Strouth • Mailroom Worker

“I should have never had those ’Spitzer-Blagojevich 2012’ lawn signs printed up back in February.”

Denise Simmonds • Dog Groomer

“How much are Senate seats going for these days? I only paid $75,000 for mine back in ’98.”
