Lots of people probably saw this one coming eventually, considering how huge of a scumbag Blago is. But it’s still a surprise to wake up to the news on the radio.
A piece of information that might become suddenly relevant: the Lieutenant Governor of Illinois is named Pat Quinn. And no, it’s not time for androgyny—he is known to be male.
Update: You know when I said everyone saw this coming? One thing to add: a Rasmussen poll from October 13 puts Blago’s approval rating at somewhere around 4. Not a typo: four percent. That’s even worse than my former home state governor, Bob Taft, who bottomed out somewhere around twelve.
Dear other blogs,
Stop posting pictures of Blago in your articles. We know what he looks like by now. Comparisons with drowned rats would be highly insulting to rats. How does a guy who looks that skeezy even get *elected*?
