Had Fitzgerald really wanted to nail all the actors in a pay to play scheme involving Obama's former Senate seat, he would've waited until an actual transaction took place and the deal was done.

The Dems favorite federal prosecutor didn't wait long enough, and as a result we'll never just how far Obama and his people would've been willing to go.

That’s a great point. On the other hand, as they were saying at The Corner earlier today, this arrest will make it less likely that Obama will be able to fire Fitzgerald, and he will be able to pursue ties to Obama (if he feels like doing so) even after January 20.

Call me cynical, but I only live 75 miles from that cesspool in Cook Co. If Blago’s out, it because the dems want him out. Look, they’ve even got people feeling sorry for the Chicago Tribune for being supposedly shaken down by a democrat govenor. And what about the poor, poor Children’s Memorial Hospital? If they don’t throw Blago out for trying to sell the chosen one’s senate seat, then they HAVE to do it for the children. Sounds so liberal to me. And the media just seems to be having too much fun with this over a democrat getting caught. What also sounded weird to me is, that earlier this month Durbin wanted Bush to commute Geo. Ryan’s prison sentence. Why? IL is so corrupt.

The dems will throw Blago out and come out smelling like roses, and the media, which has lost a lot of credibility, will try to salvage some of it back.
