[Venceremos]

Source: WBBM-TV

U.S. federal agents say they have enough evidence to indict Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich for fraud and conspiracy, WBBM-TV, Chicago, reported Thursday.

The CBS-owned station also said an indictment of Blagojevich, the first Democrat elected to Illinois' governorship in 30 years, was "not imminent."

3. October mini-surprise.

The FEDS could have indicted Blago probably a couple years ago but they wait until NOW?
I don't think it puts Illinois in play but the timing is still... interesting.

4. Is this another railroading job like Siegelmann? nm

5. Not likely. Blago is a disgrace-- has been for quite a while.

A lot of Illinois dems would rejoice to have that particular albatross cut off their necks.

Many have been surprised it wasn't done sooner. Obviously, they've been, uh, keeping it for a special occasion.

cynically,

6. So, does this mean we get to keep the state parks?

I don't know anyone who'll miss this POS.

7. Since when does the FBI float "non-imminent" indictments in the press?

FBI is working for the McSame campaign now. WBBM always has.

there will be MANY stories like this involving elected Dems between now and 11/4. Do not fall for this bullshit like the Sludge-reading, O'Really-watching morans at freeperville.

9. Your comment on WBBM seemed to be exemplified last night ...

... when some news anchor offered his "opinion" on McCain's suspension of the campaign and the Friday debate, acting like it was the right thing to do.

8. I'm not defending Blago... but this sounds improper, to me, announcing this info. n/t
