Rod Blagojevich- Sit'cho Ass Down (Updated)

While driving to work this morning, I was listening to NPR and they broke into the program to announce that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich had just been arrested for "unspecified" charges. I immediately called my homie in the Chi to inquire about the arrest and he hadn't heard anything. I then told him to send me a text when he had the word on the street.

According to Yahoo, Blagojevich was arrested and is in FBI custody for curruption charges stemming from trying to gain money for the appointment for the sucessor for Obama's senate seat. Oh boy! The ish has hit the fan and hot grits is falling everywhere in the Chi. HOPEFULLY, no one else (um...Jesse Jackson Jr.) will be implicated in this probe (Blagojevich's Chief of Staff was arrested as well). Apparently, the Governor's phone coversations have been recorded, including conversations with Barack Obama, whom, after the Governor concluded their call, proceeded to tell his staff eff Obama. DAMN. Harsh eh? And if other folks are involved, it will come out in the wash just like always. The Feds are going hard after the Governor, who has one of the lowest approval ratings in Illinois history.

Also, word on the street (so remember to take this with a grain of salt) is that President Elect Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, may have been the one to tip-off the Feds. Is that so, Rahm? You are indeed keeping it real if that is the case.

Damn Blagojevich, things were going so well (Obama-ly speaking)and you had to go and eff it up. Please resign and most importantly, sit'cho ass down!
