More on the horse racing angle...Damn law survives two appeals to the IL Supreme Court, finally ready to get some purse increases to the tracks and now this:

Also, Fitzgerald said, it was expected that Blagojevich would soon sign into law a bill that would direct a percentage of casino revenue to the horse racing industry -- a bill supported by someone who contributed $100,000.

"To let that bill be signed, to me, would be very, very troubling," Fitzgerald said.

Here's a fairly concise article on the situation(from the liberal Huffington Post).
The article says in the affadavitt Blago calls Obama a "motherf cker"
Says Rahm Emannuel blew the whistle on Blago

I have not heard that locally.

IMO This all stems from the Stuart Levine and Rezko trial. Someone from that trial is talking, a Grand Jury was called and wire taps approved on the Gov. He then buried himself in 30 days. Rahm is much more likely to be Ind C than the whistle blower but I can see why Huffington et al hopes it is.

I cant believe the party of the people has such corrupt people in it.

I don't know Steve...I think you are reaching trying to connect the two as the reason this went down. They have been after Blago for a long time

I don't know how Rezko can be dirty, Hot Rod be dirty and Obama accepting money from Rezko not be.

like Hillary, McCain is a dem.(that actually supports the US)


o-well Obama was smart enough not to offer fn Blogo anything in a straight forward fn way

banner day for Illinois! working hard to earn that title of most corrupt state.
how many states can say their govenor went on a crime spree?

gotta wonder how much dirt Blago might have on others. ya gotta believe he'll be doing whatever he can to minimize the damage.

take a look at the indictment, holy cow! what a moron this guy is.

They didn't even bother/need a Grand Jury indictment...just proceeded straight to the criminal charges. That shows how solid a case they think they have. And you know Fitzgerald hasn't played all his cards yet.

It is mind boggling how stupid he is though

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

hes gonna roll and give up alot of stuff..many a bone in the closets of high ranking people are going to come out..

right. but i don't think obama could ask for anything more exculpatory than being cursed out by a corrupt politician because nothing is being offered to fill the seat with the candidate obama wants.

and you're wildly off base with the idea emmanual could be involved as anything but a whistleblower. he's not a former member of the house. he's a current member.

i think people wanting to see something bad in this for obama are going to see as much success as they got with socialist and palling around with terrorists. it's just not there.

[dellinger63]

The terrorist would kick Blago out after a week
