Crooked Governor Shock Horror Scandal!
It seems like only yesterday that Chicago was catapulted to new heights as centre of the universe when our Senator, Barack Obama was elected to be the new President. Today Chicago has plummeted down to new depths with the news that our governor has been accused of corruption, including trying to sell Obama's senate seat.
Unfortunately this is nothing new in Chicago. I believe three previous governors were sent to prison on other corruption charges. This governor was particularly unpopular already, so I imagine it is only a matter of time before he resigns.
Personally I think if Americans really want to get the job done properly next time, they should follow California's example and appoint an actor as Governor. I endorse James Gandolfini. He has plenty of experience at playing the heavy in The Sopranos and we couldn't wish for a better successor to our governor than a mafia boss. Also, think of the excitement if he ever had to square up to Arnold Schwarzenegger. It would make for more compelling debates than any we saw during the Presidential election.
From a personal point of view I will be pleased to see the current governor go. Firstly, I could never pronounce his name, which is Rod Blagojevich. (Who'd have thought I'd have such trouble with a three letter word?) Secondly, he has far too much hair for anyone over the age of 12. I look forward to seeing him with a prison haircut.
