Hi, Fitz!
Blago just got himself indicted, along with his brudda, Bill Cellini (Republican heavyweight / lobbyist for Big Asphalt), and others.
Late word: he’s booked on all the late night talkshows for next week.
[But also: IOC inspectors begin their on-site evaluation of Chicago 2016… tonight. Ah, comic timing.]
This could put a dent in his radio career.
Speaking of Chicagoans, the Brits have Michelle Mania and knickers atwisted because she hugged the Queen.
NYT said that Blago was spotted at Disney World yesterday. That made me laugh out loud.
I bet you can broadcast from your cell at the country-club prison he’ll be sent to…
@SanFranLefty: CNN, of course, found some nitwit who writes about the royal family to offer commentary. He pointed out that the Queen, in fact, “made the first move,” which came across as a slightly more refined version of “she started it, nyah nyah.”
@Tommmcatt the Wet Sprocket: Conrad Black hasn’t done it, but who knows ….
If the feds could arrest Daley tomorrow morning at his home before he gets a chance to do his used car salesman shtick with the IOC that would be great. Thanks!
I posted this on my FB wall but this is such a must read for where Chicago is right now and why it is such an unbelievably bad idea that we are even considering this Olympic thing.
@SanFranLefty: “Rod Blagovich, you’ve just been indicted in federal court! What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to Disney World!”
@Tommmcatt the Wet Sprocket: In Illinois, it’s called the gubernatorial suite.
