Hail Governor Messuck!
UPDATE 10:55 AM: In the spirit of Time Magazine naming a bad guy, Vladimir Putin, for "Person of the Year," the Chicago Sun-Times has made their choice, Rod Blagojevich.
As runaway recipient of Moocher of the Year, the governor elevated the art of accepting favors and freebies to new heights -- without showing a wink of shame or self-consciousness.
Blagojevich freely used the state plane, at taxpayers' expense, to fly around friends and fund-raisers. For $5,800 of our money, he had himself flown from Springfield to Chicago and back for a recent Blackhawks game -- the one he was at the night legislators struggled to avert a CTA meltdown at a meeting he called.
More recently, Blagojevich unapologetically accepted free tickets to the sold-out Hannah Montana concert -- a controversial show because tickets were so scarce that parents shelled out hundreds of dollars to brokers -- so he could take his daughters. "Being a good dad is a heck of a lot more important to me than being a good politician," he said.
And Dan Curry of Reverse Spin is calling for Blagojevich's resignation. From his blog:
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald’s track record on corruption prosecutions in Illinois is nearly spotless. This document, if read carefully, leads to the inescapable conclusion that Blagojevich, Kelly and a handful of other Illinois insiders will ultimately be indicted. It also portends, in the short-term, the indictment of Blagojevich’s campaign fund, which has been receptacle of much of the corruption.
It was already quite clear that Blagojevich’s "Barry Bonds-like" fundraising prowess was fueled by cheating. His pay-to-play on steroids scheme is being dismantled, piece by piece. It’s only a matter of time now.
