At Protein Wisdom, excerpts from the indictment of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. A inside look at how politics gets done....only this time the U.S. Attorney had an informant in Blagojevich's inner circle, and a tape recorder on the Governor's phone calls.
Here's the Chicago Tribune story on the indictment and arrest of the Governor, which includes a report that Blagojevich tried to force the owners of the Tribune Company to fire Tribune editorial writers who had been critical of him.
Good linkage and comment at Hot Air.
Something tells me that this is not the Rod Blagojevich that Barack Obama knew.
It's interesting too that most of the major media organs have so far been unable to determine which political party Blagojevich belongs to.
