Illinois Governor Blogojevich Offers Senate Seat to Arresting Officer
In what is being called one of the most daring escape attempts in the history of law enforcement, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich today offered the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama to the FBI agent who took him into Federal custody this morning.
According to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, the astonishing escape attempt occurred moments after Mr. Blagojevich was handcuffed by the agent, who was wearing a wire and captured the entire expletive-laden offer on tape.
"'You can be the [bleeping] junior Senator from [bleeping] Illinois if you let me out of these [bleeping] handcuffs,'" Mr. Fitzgerald read from a transcript. "'And if that mother-[bleeper] Barack Obama tries to [bleep] with me, I'll [bleep] him up.'"
According to Mr. Fitzgerald, "When I say ‘bleep,' he didn't really say ‘bleep' on the tape," adding, "I'm going to keep making that joke until one of you [bleepers] laughs at it."
Gov. Blagojevich has been charged with a laundry list of Federal crimes, including stealing his haircut from the dad on "The Brady Bunch."

We support you, Governor Blagojevich! ANYBODY can be ACCUSED of ANYTHING.
I suspect, as I did with the first statements about this,
that this attempt by Fitzgerald to bully and force a
democratically elected governor from his office will be
exposed as another baseless witch hunt worthy of Ken Starr.
This will, in my opinion, be the end of Fitzgerald's career
and, possibly, lead to his disbarment.
