Culture of Corruption Watch: Blago-gate rolls on
Three items for you:
* John Ruberry tracks the latest Blago-gate revelations concerning a Burris-Blago brother wiretap first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times. More from WaPo and NYTimes.
* The Associated Press reports that Rahm-bo and Blago traded phone calls over a $2 million state school grant. No word on the F-bomb count.
Birds of a feather…
Oh, and in case you missed it, Mrs. Patty F’n Blago is going to be a reality TV star. Just a hard-working Everywoman trying to make an f’n living:
NBC couldn’t get scandal-scared Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to be on “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here,” so it’s settling for second best – his wife Patti.
Patti Blagojevich, who has been labeled as her husband’s foul-mouthed sidekick, said she was in it for the money.
“I don’t feel I’m a celebrity. NBC wanted my husband on the show, and when he was unable to go, they expressed interest in me,” she said Thursday on NBC’s “Today” show. “In this terrible economic time, I feel it’s necessary to go to work to support my family.”

Michelle, Your on a roll today.
Helmet head the gift that keeps on giving.
What, you didn’t have enough foresight to save a little graft for a rainy day?
How ’bout you just get an F’n real job Patty. Maybe have your husband do the same and leave the rest of us alone.
She’s going to work to support her family. What’s a family to do when you can’t extort money from business associates, family and friends. I got it – get yourself a job on a reality show..slaps head. Silly me!
Haven’t watched NBC in YEARS. Won’t start now.
What trash.
You call that “work”??? Get a life first.
Won’t Rod be on the reality show also? Don’t they live together? Will the show create legal problems for him if he blurts out something stupid which he is prone to do?
Fixed it for you
Chicago politics – the gift which keeps on giving.
How the nation ever got involved in Chicago style politics is pathetic. From Al Capone to Mayor Daly to Jesse Jackson to Barack Obama, these guys are crooks. They have taken crookdom to an art form and we are all paying the price.
I’d love to see her get into a cat-fight with the “Real (cough-gag) Housewives of Orange County”!!
Those women are mean, backstabbing, shallow, vindictive individuals. Patti would fit in with them like a f’n glove!
Personally, when I see a clip of that show, I can really understand why their husbands spend long hours at work and sleep with their secretaries!
From yuck-fest, to yack-fest…the saga of the “Poor Me’s” goes on and on. Hey, Patti! You wanna make a quick buck? Make a deal with the AG and drop-a-dime on your “effing” deadbeat husband…on second thought, fagitaboutit!
Just like herpes.
Rahm-bo: “I want that effing $2 and I want it now!”
Blago: “What’s my effing cut?”
Rahm-bo: “Oh I’ll effing cut you all right – I effing have a history with stilettos.”
Blago: “Oh, you’re effing gonna hit me with your effing shoes?”
Is it true that the Chicago mob name for Emmanuel was “Da Ballerina?” Or was it “Da Effing Ballerina?”
Re: Patty—Circus sends in the clowns. Thanks to the geniuses for giving the people what they want. Feelin’ more stupider already. I should get plenty of reading done this summer.
Re: Rod—I should get plenty of book-reading done this summer. Preferable to reading the latest execratory details about the former governor.
Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya? Patty? Tonya?
decisions… decisions… decisions…
Don’t forget Loreena Bobbit and Amy Fisher. Cole Slaw Wrestling Tag teams!
Then get a job at a bakery.
I’m with ya on this one ccs! I’m an NFL JUNKIE! but I won’t even watch NFL on NBC! “Ef” Blago and his “ef”in’ wife too, and “ef” NBC even more!
The saddest part of this whole sordid tale is that 50% of the voters in Illinois would probably still vote for him. As an Illinois voter myself, I humbly ask that you please pray for me. I’m surrounded by fools.
BlagoHairOvich never gets it, does he? I’m thinking that Blago is simply hoping that if he bribes the right official, he’ll get off scot-free.
daveglo, you are absolutely right. it seems northern illinoisian take a perverse delight in trying to out sleeze new jersey for the most corrupt state in the country. it’s almost as if chicagoland/springfield thinks it is a banana republic where the powers that be can do anything except play the game honestly.
