Just a month after they took both the White House and Congress, Democrats so greedy for power are about to show their true colors.
Today in a blatant disregard for the law the democratic governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich was arrested on corruption charges.
Blagojevich was accused of threatening to withhold state assistance to the Tribune Company because their editors were critical of him, and trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated by fellow Democrat President-elect Barack Obama.
"The breadth of corruption laid out in these charges is staggering," U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, the federal prosecutor, said in a statement.

The 51-year-old Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were charged in a federal complaint with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. Both were taken into custody at their homes in Chicago.
This is exactly the reason why one political party should not have total control, because then they start to feel they are above the law. I am sure there will be a lot more of these kinds of stories in the future, so we better all get ready for the long roller coaster ride.
