Governor Blagojevich Is A Dickhead
I really have no better way of saying that.
Governor Rod Blagojevich [D-IL] was arrested under federal corruption charges on Dec. 9th, 2008, for allegedly trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s senate seat to the highest bidder. This was a huge news story.
While it is the Governors’ duty to appoint a new Senator until a special election is held in 2010 [I believe], the Senate Democrats and even Governor Blagojevich’s lieutenant governor made it apparent that they would not seat Governor Blagojevich’s choice for the replacement senator.
Even Barack Obama voiced against Governor Blagojevich, stating he agreed with the Senate Democrats.
Well, being the asshole that he is, Blagojevich went ahead and did it anyways.
And things have gone according to plan. The Senate Democrats are doing their best to try and void the Senate appointment of Roland Burris, Blagojevich’s appointee. They have been very firm in taking down Burris, the replacement, who is a fellow Democrat. Burris has stated he would not run for re-election and would simply be a temporary replacement.
Although, it is probably impossible for the Senate Democrats, and/or the Lieutenant Governor of Illinois to block Burris’ appointment, they’re still trying.
Even though Governor Blagojevich is a selfish, annoying weird corrupt asshole, I have to name him the most ballsy guy in 2008. Seriously, this guy is denying the whole “federal corruption charges” by simply saying “Nope, I didn’t do it.” Basically. A lot of evidence is against him but instead of flat out going, “alright, ya got me.” It’s just, “Nope, I didn’t do it, fuck you, that guy on that film, that aint me, nope, that’s my old neighbor John, he don’t like me, does a good impersonation.” Ahh, if only that really happened, but, seriously, how can he even deny it?
Well, we had a great year 2008. I campaigned for Barack Obama, saw the first African-American man elected, some guy tried to sell a senate seat, our entire economy imploded, some guy threw some shoes at President Bush, and uh, yeah, that’s all thats on the top of my head. Anyways, I hope you all have a great New Year here from Chronicblog!
