还有人历数伊州革命家史,前任州长正在服刑,还有几位也是进过局子的。让我想起看过的那部著名的Untouchables,可不也是芝加哥的故事

Well, it's probably no coincidence that A LOT of people have stopped speaking to him for a while. His father-in-law who sent him to Springfield in the first place, for example. And the IL Lt Governor (who got elected separately, not as a partner to Blagojevich) Pat Quinn also said he had not talked to the governer (his boss!) in any depth for more than a year. Nobody can stand this guy since he was re-elected in 2006.Like every other politician in Illinois, Gov. Rod Blagojevich waited for Barack Obama's call this summer. He told colleagues that he expected a speaking role at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, a nice bit of payback for being the first governor to endorse the senator from Illinois in his campaign for president. By showing off a connection to Obama in Denver, Blagojevich hoped to repair his own diminished reputation.
Obama's campaign made speaking offers to the Illinois treasurer, the comptroller, the attorney general and a Chicago city clerk. Sen. Richard J. Durbin (Ill.) was asked to introduce Obama on the convention's final night; Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. (Ill.) was told he would speak on television during prime time. Finally, fed up and embarrassed that he still had heard nothing, Blagojevich joked to a crowd at the Illinois State Fair that, yes, he also had been asked to speak -- at 4 a.m., in a Denver area men's bathroom.
Long before federal prosecutors charged Blagojevich with bribery this week, Obama had worked to distance himself from his home-state governor. The two men have not talked for more than a year, colleagues said, save for a requisite handshake at a funeral or public event.

oh i did not think of that. Jessie Jackson Jr came out against his dad about the cutting comments, that doesn't even earn him a senator seat? poor boy.nother funny thing about this news is, if Rahm gave some names to Blago, and Blago later said Candidate 5 (Jesse Jackson Jr.) offered to pay him for the appointment, then it might imply that JJ was NOT on the Obama's list. It is interesting to a political junkie like me because JJ was an enthusiastic supporter of Obama during the campaign.

显然 Blagojevich 并没有直接跟 Rahm Emanuel 伸手要这要那的,那他为什么在电话里口气那么大呢?也许 Pat Fitzgerald 应该给他弄个 psychiatric evaluation。"Mr. Emanuel and the Governor did not discuss a cabinet position, 501c(4), a private sector position for the Governor or any other personal benefit for the Governor," Craig writes in the report.
逃到非洲了?各家报纸肯定后悔过去为了省钱把驻非洲新闻司撤了。Emanuel has not commented about his contacts with Blagojevich. He left Tuesday on what his staff described as a long-planned family vacation to Africa.
