Like crack cocaine to a two-bit whore
To anyone tired of seeing Democrat politicians getting away with the amount of corruption that seems to run rampant in in their party this will be good news:
Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s office has received subpoenas from a grand jury investigating allegations that his chief fundraiser traded jobs for campaign contributions, a source close to the investigation said Monday.
The governor refused to say if he had been subpoenaed, insisting it would be illegal to discuss the matter while it is before a grand jury.
But, the sources of the story are “source ... speaking on the condition of anonymity”, and “Another source close to the governor’s office”. This is a grand jury investigation so, by law, the investigation is supposed to be secret. I feel no joy in reading this story. I’m really getting tired of hot scoops based on the whispered conversations of these 2 guys.
If you read to the end of the article you will find that the original fraud accusations came from Blagojevich’s father-in-law, Chicago Alderman Richard Mell. Mell was upset that Blagojevich had shutdown an illegal landfill operation that Mell was connected to. In other words, this could all be just a case of political payback. I don’t know. I do know that if the grand jury doesn’t indict Blagojevich you won’t read about it on page 1 of the Chicago Tribune.
I am tired of the press chickening out with anonymous sources. The press is quickly becoming nothing more than pawns in political battles. I wish they would stop it. They aren’t helping anything.
In other news tonight, I hope crack whores give up life on the streets and find something meaningful to do with their lives.
