We think: Politics sinks even lower amid governor's scandal in ...

What do you expect? Crooked Dems have run Shitcago for years.

What freaks me out is this guy knew he was being bugged while soliciting bribes, and yet he lives in complete denial.

Patrick Fitzgerald is my hero. Gambino, Scooter Libby, Rahman, Ryan, and now Blagojevich. I hope he runs for office someday.

Typical product of the Chicago crime machine.
Waht does this say about Obama? If he knew, he's too crooked to be president. If he didn't know, he's not smart enough to be president...

Don't know 'bout the others, but Scooter was jailed in an investigation in which Fitz knew the leaker (Armitage) and got Scooter because he lied to investigators about who told him Plame was CIA. He WASN'T the leaker. It would like arresting Blago's assistant because he said he never spoke to Rahm Emmanuel. Not exactly criminal activity. Against the law? Yes. But not leaking Plame's name.

OK, strike Scooter's name of the list and promote him.

Jeb Bush, when he was Governor, knew that the OCSO were responsible for the armed robbery and cover-up of me when I was working at Riu Hotel and he did nothing. Why is that not worse than what the Illinois Governor did?

There is more intelligence in Obama's fingernail than in Duhbya's atrophied skull. You imply that Obama should have known that Blagojevich was selling a Senate seat. Got facts? Ready to put up, or shut up?

Well, my goodness. The Sentinel finally weighs is on corruption in Illinois, but the head of their team, BHO, remains totally innocent. Obviously, this was not the Gov. Barry knew. Barry is just so naive and such a very bad judge of character. Does he have any friends or mentors he has not had to throw under the bus? No reason to think Barry had the least thing to do with the corrupt and bare knuckles scheme to choose his successor. But, but, why is Barry's "transparency in Goverment" website removing all questions about his dealings with the Gov. of Illinois?? Ironic? No, no. Not at all. Oh well. Nothing to see here. Just move along.

Why is it sooooooo hard for the Fascist media to identify him as the DEMOCRAT GOV. OF ILL.??

And another thing, Sentinel Editorial Board: you sound outraged. Why is your leader not outraged? BHO is merely "saddened". Hmmm. Why would he not express AT LEAST the same level of outrage you claim to have? Maybe because it's just business as usual in his political realm.

I expect someone will clue him in today that he might want to feign some outrage.

I think this Crist travel thing was an attempt by the left to draw attention away from Chicago.

I'm more interested in what Obama will do about the illegal immigrant workers now that we "real americans" are in an offical recession. I was watching an "all mexican" crew doing landscaping around the Granada bridge in Ormond yesterday. I'm sure there are plenty of americans willing to do the work now!!!

Tim Tebow for President!

Hey! His wife brokered all the land and home deals for Obama and Tony Resko (sic). Her panzy husband will squeal likt a little pig before he goes to prison for 20-30 years. He may well spill the beans on the king pin, Lord Obuma himself. This is rich. Stay tuned.

Lets review the bidding.....Blagos wife arranged the sale of that house to Obama in a sweet deal. The owner of the house was Rezko...Rezko was Blagos main money source in his runs for governor. If Obama didnt know something fishy was going on, then he is the dumbest person on the South Side of Chicago. Obama must be infected with sleaze because all those he has contacts with wind up indicted and he goes merrily along his way.

Hey, Barak's in the clear. Blago was just another guy in the neighborhood.

The King of Chicago, B. H. Obama, got elected.

He is not eligible, as he was born overseas. Wait, that might now be allowed.

Barry's transition office is 2 short blocks away from Blago's palatial offices.... but of course there was no contact. I believe it. Barry said so, and it was only his very own senate seat that was up for grabs....nah, he had nothing whatever to do with it.

There sure are some very chummy photos of Barry and Blago... wonder if the Sentinel has any plans to put some in the paper???

So who left the body out to be found so that the heat will be off both G-Rod and Crist? Dems? GOP? Ind.?Nothing but Caylee, Casey, Cindy and that Clan. Everything else in the world is put on hold so people can give their opinions on this. So much for innocent until proven guilty for all of them. The American way is to crucify people in the court of public opinion.

Can't we wait and find out the facts before we jump in with our opinions?

Let's face it, someone needs to push the handle and flush Chicago down the nearest toilet. I don't care who you are or what your party is, this kind of crap is disgusting. I'm a Republican and, yes, I felt that Stevens needed to go, even if it would put a Democrat in his seat. Maybe if more of these crooks go to jail the idea that they can't be doing this stuff may sink in. Nah, never happen.
