A source said today that Gov. Rod Blagojevich was taken into federal custody at his North Side home this morning. The U.S. attorney's office would not confirm the information, and a spokesman for the governor did not immediately return a phone call for comment.

I'd say you're awful thin-skinned to be a shark...
You made your point about the deputy governors. Why not just bask in your brilliance?
I think today was an arraignment judge. The fed judges are on rotation if it’s like in Tampa, FL. Whoever comes up on rotation barring any conflicts of interest (what are the chances?) will be assigned the federal jury trial.
After letting you and Cletus bask in ignorance all afternoon long claiming the Deputy Governor was Quinn, I think I will.
Anybody ever think that maybe Blogo knew he was being taped and started saying stuff about Obama to exculpate Obama out of the picture? Maybe some of his tapes were bluffs.
“Obama, who is not close to Blagojevich, has said he intends to stay out of the discussion about a successor.”
BS!! They were spinning way back then because they knew it was going to hit the fan! GREAT CATCH maggie!! OBAMA and BLAG ‘not close’..but he just was an advisor to his run for Governor in 2002. Oh yeah!... (CUE GIANT EYE ROLL)
OBAMA is close to people until they get caught! Notice how that works?
That's what I was implying. A quid pro quo from Fitzgerald to Blago to keep her from prosecution if he names names. Blago himself could also propose the same. But before it happens there would have to be sufficient foundation for it to be accepted.
Good for you. After 15 minutes your fame will be used up.
New tag line rollout.
How was Twitch’s twitch today while trying to distance himself from the guy who was discussing a cabinet position with Governor Dead Meat in exchange for Twitch’s chosen replacement getting his abandoned senate seat with someone obviousy close to twitch?
I don’t remember that. Details please. Read maggie’s post 851. The media started spinning that ‘Obama was not close to Blago’ on November the 14...lol.
The American media is corrupt beyond redemption now.

As well you should.
I stand corrected and hereby publicly apologize to skyhawk.
And interesting development, though. One of those named as “deputy governor” recently is Tammy Duckworth.
We need to cue that pic of all the people under Obama’s bus...lol.
Will Axelrod be next? My bet is no...Axelrod knows where the bodies are buried.
This had to be very recent if she was in contention for the Senate seat. Any date on that?
“A quid pro quo from Fitzgerald to Blago to keep her from prosecution if he names names.”
That certainly fits Fitz’s MO. He did that another ILL pol recently, didn’t he. A certain felon’s girlfriend who was close to Ryan.
You bet they were spinning/going on record, using both the Chicago Trib and the WaPo.
Off to do a little more research ...
“Anybody ever think that maybe Blogo knew he was being taped and started saying stuff about Obama to exculpate Obama out of the picture? Maybe some of his tapes were bluffs.”
Yes! I wondered that this morning after reading about his insane comments yesterday and trying to understand how the man could have been so stupid and arrogant to do this ‘Senate Seat Sale’ while he was being investigated by the feds for corruption. It’s either that or he thinks he is immune with Obama’s win because he has the goods on the President elect.
