Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday on federal charges that he brazenly conspired to sell or trade the Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder.
A 76-page FBI affidavit says the 51-year-old Democrat was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps over the last month conspiring to use the vacant Senate seat to obtain personal benefits for himself and his wife, Patti.

If Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested for government corruption, than there are 49 other U.S. governor’s who should be arrested today. David Mildenberg and Brian Louis in this Bloomberg.com article point out it was his threat against U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s favored Bank of America to halt business that did him in.
