About time

Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been taken into federal custody

And we need carpool lanes on the tollways

Ditto on Rod anyway...

IL, where the rich get powerful and the powerful get corrupt.

Or the other saying,

Absolute power corrupts absolutly.

Carpool lanes are a toss up for me, though it could get some multi-occupant vehicles out of normal lanes.

Rod is corrupt now to just get the other leaders in Cook,Chicago and IL then we might be going somewhere

I'm voting for Pinocchio for the next Governor.
At least you can tell when he lying before he gets elected!

They are saying this could get even bigger! Il is the most corrupt of the country....man WTH!? They say his Father in Law hasn't spoke to him in months, he's not to keen on him to begin with. I cannot imagine what his family is having to go through. What a disgrace.

I truly believe this may just be the beginning. That guy is such a weasle I can almost guarantee he's going to flip on everybody. Anybody see Daley yesterday? He was as white as a ghost!

As far as the fact that all the state democrats have distanced themselves from Blow-job-ovich (or as Roe Kahn called him Blow-J!) for the past few years, my guess is he crossed the graft line and got too greedy even for them!

It would be nice if they have enough on Blago to make it a no brainer to have him roll on everyone, but then what kind of deal would he get in return???

Unfortunately, I think this runs so deep and those involved so far entrenched that it will end up costing the State, and us tax-payers, millions just to get the outer couple layers.

Don't forget how easy it had to have been for those businesses to Pay-to-Play for who knows how many years. Unless the person getting "paid" come forward with the "players". I doubt all of the "players" will come forward willingly.
