The Buzz Log What’s hot on Yahoo! Buzz™ (and why)...

Its about time. Has anyone checked Ebay to see if the senate seat is available?

Not surprising. Illinois' politicians have been corrupt for years.

Perfect example is the Chicago sales tax. It is the highest in the nation and yet still, there is a budget deficit. But Mr. Stroger wants to give pay raises to friends and family in office while the rest of us struggle to make ends meat.

Hopefully, the Feds will dig deeper and get rid of all of them. It's time to start fresh with honest people who are for the people.

It is about time. I now hope that they move the polititions back to the capital, which is Springfield, not Chicago where the corruption is!

i find it odd that he was arrested less than 24 hours after he made the comments about the state of illinois not doing business with the bank of america. he was with the factory workers who were trying to get thier back pay. look on the huffington post and watch what he said yesterday and judge for yourself. do your homework people. Im not saying the guy isnt a crook, a lot of politicians are crooks. I belive you dont get to a high office like that without some corruption or without oweing someone something. the feds went to his house and aressted him. They always let white collar criminals turn themselves in. A legal analyst on the news said this is highly unusual. I just urge everyone to look at the story beneath the story.

I am a Democrat in Orange County, California and and today I am sad to be both! I watch the bail outs, upon bail outs that my Dems have backed and yet not take any responsible for at all in the past years and it is time they do so and stet down. Especially the Banking oversite Democrats. Before you throw your blows at corporate take a good long look at yourself first. Starting with Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac. Please no excuses from anyone either. The Gov. caused his own problems and i bet you more names are to come that are not mentioned in that paper. Watch out America.

If anyone out there truly believed this is an isolated incident in our "political" system, I can arrange financing on the sale of the Golden Gate Bridge. Why do you think people spend millions of dollars to get a job that pays $100,000.00??????? POWER & INFLUENCE folks. These types of activities are prevalent in our gu'ment. Most just don't get caught, or tell it like it is, up front, as Huey Long did for so many years. We're doomed if we think it will ever "change".

Illinois has a long, well establilshed, honorable history of corruption. The Richard Daily machine, our good friend "Rosty Rostenkowski, the jailbird ex-gov Ryan - all well connected crooks. So now we have the latest generation moving into the shallows and vaccums left behind by the "big fish" in political waters who've just been caught and released. The next question is - who is Pat Quinn and who his nominee for the open senate seat in Illinois.

Long over due.... Its about freakin Time!

They are going to have to build a special ex-governor's wing at the Illinois State Prison. They will call it the Walker-Thompson-Ryan-Blago Center. Seriously, it's hard to believe anybody can be this open and brazen about his crookedness without being a little mentally deranged

Lived in Chicago the past 60 years and nothing ever changed. Who of you is really surprised? This guy has been crooked from the day he was born and his wife, Mel's daughter is just as bad! Merry Christmas Illinois.

We now know why our state is almost bankrupt, our Governor and our Senator have never communicated with each other. Our school district was promised a new school during his first term. We are still waiting for the money!

Didn't he win the governor's race all those years ago on a platform about reforming the government from the massive corruption of the Ryan Administration?

I believe they finally get a good one, send them all to jail. He get a nice pay check while everyone else are out of a job and he is acting this way. burn them all and them give me their job.

"Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are" Barrack Milhouse Hussien Obama knew what was going on and thats why "Candidate #1" for the Senate seat buy off was Obama's choice. I want to know the names of all 5 candidates.

This Dude is really a piece of CRAP work!!
How can somebody like this mound of escrement have such a prominent position?
He should be sent, not to a regular jail, but to the deepest pit of hell!
This man is a disgrace for the Democrat party and should be erase from the Party immediately.

And yet people voted for obama as president. He is just as bad as the governor. All i can say is don't blame me when the cournty goes to hell in a handbasket, I voted for huckabee.

How about Blago?
Illinois is batting over .700! 4 of the last 7 IL (putting the "ill" in Illinois) governors have been arrested! wow. But I think we need an easier to prounounce name if he is going to go down with former corrupters like Ryan and Daly and (let's not forget Capone who helped put it all in motion). How about Blago?

If they don't go in crooks they leave as crooks!

It is about time! Does this mean that we can stop the I-Pass crap, free helath care and schooling for the illegals etc...? We are corrupt and broke state thanks to this moron. Don't let him resign, IMPEACH him. Don't let him leave with one shred of dignity. I just hope they do not find our Soon-to-be President involved in any of this. Let's hope we can be on an up-swing now that he is gone (soon).

I'm not an Obama supporter, but it sucks the man has to start his term with this mess.

and seriously, what about that hair?

thats so typical!!!we need to FINALLY purge this country of all these scumbags!!!long live obama!!
who do these people think they are?????really!!they should be flailed

Anyone who wears a hairpiece this bad should resign!

Chicago has always been mob run--Kennedy was sleeping with Sam G's girlfriend; Kennedy got into office by R.Daly's voters from the grave; the mob has gotten protection money; jobs were handed out by the mob; judges were always bought so the mob could be found not guilty; the mob was connected to Los Vegas. The mob was probably tied up with JFK's assination; on and on.

I can't believe the people of Illinois would even vote for someone with hair like that. Looks shouldn't count, but get real people.

I heard he's gone crazy and Rom Emmanual blew the whistle.

Pres. Obama has the best of intention to really bring the needed change in USA. Unfortunately, some opportunists find this chance to make use of the old adage "to the victors belong the spoils". His worst enemies are not the Republicans but guys in his own party to are out to make the most of their being in power. In the past, someone said, "what are we in power poor for". Good LUCK President-elect Obama and people of America. You certainly need tons of it. Of course, you need GOD's guidance and blessings.

The good Gov would be hero among Mexican politicians, too bad they took his passport, he'd be a celebrity there by now. But if he is really that stupid to be so blatantly open about his illegal activities, he doesn't even deserve to be a Chicago politician. It seems the only thing he didn't do was post it in his blog.

To Hell with the story; check out the wifey’s potty mouth!

It sure sounds like Patti Blagojevich might occasionally wear the pants in that family.

Note how her flowery and colorful language was quoted before Roddy’s was.

How sad for them that somebody was listening in.

After all Roddy must surely have had an idea that this could happen right?

Or maybe he wasn’t as smart as everybody who voted for this Howdy Doody look alike Butt Boy believes he was.

Finally - its about time the Feds and the State of Illinois caught up with Gov. Bag. He's such a fine asset to the Democratic Party ;) The Chicago Machine really picked a good one to front this time. Pat Quinn? - he goes back to Walker Days - should be interesting which way he goes.
