Whoa, Breaking News:

Gov. Blago arrested by the Feds for conspiring to sell Obama's Senate Seat.

Among other things that are fucked up! Wow, is this really how Blago is gonna go down? That's intense shit right there.

It's probably a sign that I've been watching the Tudors excessively this past weekend, and that I just woke up, that reading this article I kept thinking "Why would you trade a political seat for mere money? Shouldn't he be trying to trade that seat for favors and more power to cement his base and crush his enemies?"

Okay, I'm going to go and trade MY senate seat for coffee and bacon.

The going theory (prior to this morning) was that he was gonna trade the seat to Madigan, the attorney general of Illinois, who is nipping at his heel for his job.

Unfortunately, I think we underestimated his stupidity by several orders of magnitude.
