Looks like Gov. Blagojevich of Illinois is going down for the count. What is it about Illinois' statehouse? I think he's the fourth governor of the last five (two Democrats and two Republicans) who will spend some time in jail. Maybe this is the surest sign that the old Daley style machine has finally collapsed, since no one seems to get away with anything anymore.
Which reminds me of my favorite political joke, told by former Minnesota Senator (and one-time presidential hopeful) Eugene McCarthy. McCarthy said that when he died, he wanted to be buried in Chicago-- so that he could remain politically active. Think about it.
