My favorite part of the press conference was when Fitz said it was important to move on Blago now before he named the new Democrat Senator who would then be "tainted".

Does this mean before someone like Jesse Jackson Jr. paid for the seat and would have had to be arrested too? Gotta keep Illinois blue no matter what.

That's BS and Fitz knows it. If some clown is paying for the seat, you wait till he's announced and then bust them both.

Just because a Governor appoints someone, he ain't a Senator until the Senate meets and says he's a Senator.
