It has been brought to my attention that perhaps I was a bit unclear in yesterday’s post.
I am still somewhat suspicious about the extent of President-elect Barack Obama’s connections with the dark side of Illinois and Chicago politics. I guess that could all come to light fairly soon, though.
I am not quite so concerned about one specific politician riding on his coattails to Washington, D.C. any longer, as if this plays out as it should, he will be in federal prison alongside another recent Illinois governor.
If any of my friends not from Illinois are following the drama, one thing I didn’t realize when I posted yesterday (I hadn’t yet finished reading the vast quantities of words produced yesterday on the subject) is that one of the issues involves shady dealings with the Chicago Tribune and thus was not fully reported upon in that paper. Surprise, surprise. Chicago Sun-Times should have the rest of the story. Or not. You just never know what the Chicago media is covering up.
Man, does my state totally suck on the ethics front or what.
