Another Chicago politician arrested for corruption.
A source said today that Gov. Rod Blagojevich was taken into federal custody at his North Side home this morning…The stunning, early morning visit by authorities to the governor’s North Side home came amid revelations that federal investigators had recorded the governor with the cooperation of a longtime confidant and had begun to focus on the possibility that the process of choosing a Senate successor to President-elect Barack Obama could be tainted by pay-to-play politics.
Whoda thunk that a Chicago Democrat would be arrested for such a thng? So the Governor of Illinois wants people to pay him money to be considered for Mr. Obama’s Senate seat. Look’s like he’s stealing a page out of Mayor Daley’s playbook.

Should we wonder what Barry paid for his Senate seat?
