Who knew there was corruption in Illinois politics?
Of course I'm referring to the arrest of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich this morning on the allegation that he was trying to "sell" President-elect Barack Obama's soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat.
All over Chicago politicians were asking themselves: "That's illegal?"
Can you imagine Blagojevich's sales pitch?
"Pssst, let me tell you what happened to the last guy that had this Senate seat." That should drive the price up.
Apparently the good governor also tried to leverage his hatred for certain Chicago Tribune editorial writers into a deal where the State would help with remodeling Wrigley Field (owned by the Tribune Co.) in exchange for a quick exit of the editorial writers Blagojevich hated.
Another one bites the dust.

I suppose that's another way to become "freefromeditors."
