Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich Arrested by FBI
















Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested by the FBI on charges of conspiracy and soliciting bribes. Blagojevich was thought to have auctioned the Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder. The other Illinois Senator Dick Durbin said that he felt that the Senate appointment process was taking a bit long and that he sensed that something was out of the ordinary. 
I think that it is wrong to profit off a special Senate seat appointment. As a public servant, one must not be influenced by money. I think Blagojevich has strayed too far in not displaying a just and moral character. This is a shameful day for America.
