: Dispatches from the Culture WarsIllinois Gov. Arrested for Selling Obama's Seat
By Ed Brayton
This is one of the craziest stories I've ever seen. The governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, has been arrested for the FBI for allegedly trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat. Now that Obama has been elected president, Blagojevich gets to name his successor.
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff John Harris were arrested Tuesday morning in Chicago on two counts each of federal corruption charges stemming from allegations Blagojevich was trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat to the highest bidder.Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...The arrest is part of a three-year probe of "pay-to-play politics" in the governor's administration. The criminal complaint by the FBI says each man was arrested on two charges of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery.
