When Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (bluh-GOY'-uh-vich) was arrested and charged with corruption, and as his party turned on him leaving him out in the cold, one thought came to mind. Does Alan Keyes still have his residence in Illinois? And how can you charge someone for selling a seat before it was appointed? (OK, that's two thoughts)
There is an appointment that no one could claim was tainted; Alan Keyes. Though they might claim it was done out of spite...... Yeah Rod, stick it to them! Those corrupt hypocrites!
Though Keyes ran against Obama for Senate on the Republican ticket, he has had his falling out with the Republicans and ran for President as an Independent. Surely the government cannot produce any tapes alleging he sold the seat to Alan Keyes. Or any other Republican or Independent that is qualified for the job.
