Illinois Governor gets arrested & GOP ties Obama [Idiocy 101]


Just as I predicted, the GOP has its laser beam of blind rage pointed directly at Obama… for the dirty deeds of the Illinois governor?

Shortly after the news broke that Blagojevich was arrested for, among other things, seeking to profit for filling the Senate seat vacated by Obama, the RNC fired off an e-mail to reporters that included laudatory remarks the president-elect has made about the troubled governor in the past.

Included in the RNC e-mail was an Obama quote: “If the governor asks me to work on his behalf, I’ll be happy to do it.”

The e-mail also noted that when Obama endorsed Blagojevich for a second term, The Associated Press reported the president-elect said: “We’ve got a governor in Rod Blagojevich who has delivered consistently on behalf of the people of Illinois.”

The GOP’s not bitter.  Nah.

Never mind actually focusing on the issue at hand which is of an idiotic governor who wasn’t even TRYING to hide his corruption.   Is the GOP blatantly trying to miss the point?  Is this a Jedi mind trick?

IL Governor taken down; I predict that…


Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (pronounced blah-goy-ah-vich) has been arrested on Federal corruption charges.    He “allegedly conspired to sell U.S. Senate appointments, engaged in ‘pay-to-play’ schemes and threatened to withhold state assistance to Tribune Company for Wrigley Field to induce purge of newspaper editorial writers” [pdf]

I’m predicting that the big question rolling around the minds of wingbat conservatives is “How can we connect this to President elect (ex-Illinois Congressman) Barack Obama?”

More to surely follow.
