Comments on: Noose Tightening around Blago http://blogs.e-rockford.com/inchambers/2008/04/23/noose-tightening-around-blago/ The judge will see you now. Step into Springfield Bureau Chief Aaron Chambers’ chambers for an insider’s view on Illinois politics and government. No, Chambers isn’t a real judge. At least not in the sense of wearing a robe, wielding a gavel and issuing orders. But like a good judge, Chambers tells it like it is.

This is business as usual for Illinois politics. Our previous Governor is currently in Federal prison and this is the land of "vote early, vote often". It becomes apparent that the political party affiliation in Illinois doesn't matter when it comes to the level of blatant, out in the open corruption, payola, bribery, and personal enrichment activities. How can any of us "normal" people that work for a living vote in a new administration when they are all obviously corrupt from the start? Why are people so surprised at Blagojevich’s actions?
