Chicago is the Home of a Corrupt Political Machine
We were approached “pay to play.”That,you know,he’d raise me 500 grand. An emissary came. Then the other guy would raise a million,if I made him [Senate Candidate 5] a senator. ~ Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (discussing the Chicago Way on FBI wiretaps)
As Barack Obama,other sundry Democrat politicians and their willing accomplices in the liberal media scurry around like a pack of alley rats in a dark corner disturbed by a flashlight,I can’t help gloating just a little bit. I mean,who in America is really surprised by the recent criminal charges brought against Rod Blagojevich,the embattled governor of Illinois who up to a few days ago was a good friend and a close political ally of President-elect Barack Obama?
Since I lived and worked in Chicago for several years (1994-97),I understand the milieu of Chicagoland and am familiar with “The Chicago Way.”What is this phenomenon? Think a Midwest version of “Tammany Hall”– the legendary corrupt Democratic political machine in New York from the 1790s to 1960s.
