[Rhodes22-list] Illinois Governor Arrested for Corruption

[Brad Haslett]

Bill,

No real surprise there, huh?  Remember, young Barry didn't rise in
Chicago politics bucking the system and exposing the bad guys, ala
Sarah Palin style, he was one of them.  Wonder how long it takes for
Fitzgerald to get around to dealing with Barry accepting nine grand A
MONTH in legal fees, month after month, from the ping-pong company he
won a quarter million grant for?  Rezko and the Obama land deal isn't
over with either.  Welcome to hopenchange America, you asked for it!
