Blagojevich's The Governor hits bookstands, should provide comic relief

On Tuesday, deposed Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich, will release his memoirs "The Governor". The book is being billed as not only providing the impeached Governor's account of the political dealings that led to his arrest, but also an insider's perspective into the political landscape of Illinois, or more specifically, Chicago.

In recent months, Blagojevich has become the symbol of the corruption and pay-to-play politics that embody the Chicago political machine. But don't necessarily count on The Governor to provide...

Blago has his own Sunday afternoon talk radio show where he urges the people to stand up to corruption. He kisses up to Obama, but bashes other Chicago Democrats who vote for his removal. Blago claims he was removed because he stood up for the civil rights of union workers, seniors, and minorities.

I wish he’d turn state’s evidence and blow Chicago politics wide open.

Yeah, because I know as a down-state Illinoisan just how hard the f-er worked for me...oh wait...thats right he raised my professional licensing fees to 5x the original rate...oops!

I was at B&N yesterday and saw the book. I didn't pay much attention to it, but thought "who would want that book?"

He was a loser, nobody govenor, until he got booted from office. And he's still a loser. And he's desperately trying not to slip back into nobodyness.

Whats your sales tax down there?

Up here NW of Ch!tcago its 12%.

A $1 Coke from McD's cost $1.12 Of course when I drive into Lake county it drops to $1.06.

All because of the Dems who run Ch!tcago and Cook County.
