Thursday Update, More Blagojevich Edition
What else is he hiding under all that hair?
- Well, it’s just another day at the Governor’s office, working on the budget, helping Illinois families, dodging questions about his indictment. You know, the usual. (ABC News)
- Howard Dean says Blago has committed a “disgraceful abuse of the public trust” and should resign in order to save the legislature the trouble of impeaching him. Howard Dean is going to go to Illinois to root out corruption. And then he’s going to go to New Hampshire! And South Carolina! And New Mexico! Yaaaaahhhh!! (TPM Election Central)
- Also jumping on the “Blago should resign” bandwagon: all fifty Democratic U.S. Senators. Thanks, Rod, for helping create this impressive display of Democratic unity. (Politico)
- Hilariously, the state with the most corruption per capita is… North Dakota! Yes, tiny North Dakota has a whopping 8.3 corruption convictions per 100,000 residents, compared to Illinois 3.9. Of course, this just means that North Dakota is better a prosecuting corruption, which doesn’t bode well for the morals of Illinois juries. (USA Today)
