CHICAGO - Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich embarked on a "corruption crime spree" and tried to benefit from his ability to appoint President-elect Barack Obama's replacement in the U.S. Senate, federal officials said Tuesday.

 

At a news conference in Chicago on Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald called it a sad day for the citizens of Illinois and alleged that the governor tried to "auction off" the Senate seat "to the highest bidder."

 

He said the alleged behavior "would make (Abe) Lincoln roll over in his grave."

 

All I can say is wow... how stupid was this guy.

Most people were just predicting he'd hand it over to Jackson Jr. Oh well, those midwestern politicians are pretty stupid. After all, until McCain left Michigan, one of the top reasons it was a swing state was because of another corruption scandal. They just don't learn. :o

No, 5-3=2. 2 out, 3 in.

 

However, the numbers are wrong in the first place, it seems: to get that result, you'd have to count both Blago (4) and the last guy listed at that link (5), and change the phrasing somewhat - they haven't "been to prison" necessarily, just gotten in trouble with the law.
