Embattled Illinois Gov. Blagojevich offered a radio show - if he resigns

It’s definitely not an easy time in the Blagojevich household. Rod Blagojevich has been impeached by the Illinois state House and faces an impeachment trial in the Senate. He faces Federal charges of trying to sell President Obama’s former US Senate seat, among other legal and ethical issues. Even Illinois First Lady Patricia Blagojevich was recently fired from her $100,000-a-year job as a fundraiser for a Chicago homeless agency. But “Blago” may have options. Citadel-owned talk station WLS-AM (890) in Chicago has offered Blagojevich his own Sunday talk show, but with one string attached – he must resign as Governor. The Associated Press quotes WLS PD Bob Stomper as saying the offer is on the table to “spare the state the embarrassment and expense of forcibly removing him from office.”

Making the job offer is pretty safe. He is going to jail so the whole thing is *moot*. I suppose there is an outside chance he would fall for this. :-)

I am sad to report that Robert Feder accepted a buyout offer extended to Sun-Times employees with more than 20 years in. He left late last year. Feder saw where Chicago newspapers were headed and got out while the getting was good. One of Feder’s last columns was the one announcing Ahern’s long overdue departure from the floundering Channel 2.

Lewis Lazare is now handling media reporting for the Sun-Times.

I didn’t know whether Roe was conservative until two days ago. I heard him say, “I disagree with Obama on about 80% of the issues.”

Is there ANYTHING in this guy's life that doesn't involve bribes?

I’m sure he’ll enjoy getting together with Tommy Finneran and Buddy Cianci at the next talk radio convention.

Blago might be all that bad! He sure poked his finger in some eyes in D.C.

And besides, he's be on 2 hours a week, and on sunday to boot.

So if he does suck, Who cares??

I consider Roe a free-market libertarian.

Jay Marvin (remember him?) was a socialist libertarian

well, well, well. Now we know where all the talk came from about Mrs. Obama needing a salary...there is something fundamentally wrong with the first ladies of governors or presidents or congressmen, accepting salaries for their social networking 'volunteering'. I thought this was all about 'public service'. Silly me.
