[Rhodes22-list] Illinois Governor Arrested for Corruption

[Brad Haslett]

Slim,

Fitz is known for not "pulling the trigger" until he has a clean kill.
 I didn't read the 76 page indictment but here's a prediction: the
Illinois Treasurer Alex Giannoulias will go down next (strong
financial ties to The One). Guv Blago and Rezko are singing a duet
now.  Blago and Rezko were joined at the hip, Rezko and The One at the
property line?  Axlerod is already looking for space under the bus.
Obama said today that he hadn't spoken with Blago about his vacant
seat - out comes the NOV 23rd tape of Axlerod saying O had spoken with
Blago.  Under the bus you go!  Barry can still walk on water with some
folks but his water-walking shoes are starting to leak.  It will take
two years for all this to play out - just in time for the 2010
elections.
