JFK supposedly won the 1960 presidential election thanks to Mayor Daley stealing a hundred thousand ballots for the Nixon ticket. Illinois electoral votes pushed the Massachusetts senator over the top. A Herald-Tribune reporter later wrote that he found names of the dead who had voted in Chicago, along with 56 people from one house. With this in mind the arrest of the Illinois governor on charges of corruption comes as no surprise, especially after Rod Blagojevic was taped saying about the appointment of President-elect Obama's vacant Senate seat, "This is a fucking valuable thing, you just don't give it away for nothing."
Someone suggested this arrest by the FBI is part of a witch hunt, except the federal prosecutor handling the case in Patrick Fitzgerald, widely respected for having gone after Scooter Libby.
Maybe GW Bush will pardon Rod Blagojevic before he passes onto to history as the worst president in American history.
