Selling Senate Seats


Today, the Feds busted Illinois Governor Rob Blagojevich. Of course, Barack Obama had to resign from his seat in the U.S. Senate in order to assume the Presidency. The task of appointing his successor fell to the Governor.

It is a big deal to be appointed U.S. Senator so ol' Blago wanted to get paid for his services. He initially wasn't finding many takers. He said, "They're not willing to give me anything but appreciation. *Bleep* them!"

Little did the Governor know, the feds were on to him. It is obviously illegal to sell seats to the U.S. Senate. This guy is in major trouble. But hey, he can still make his appointment from his jail cell!!!
