The Words Used to Describe Governor Blagojevich
As an Illinoisan, it has not been enjoyable to see our state getting top-story news for yet another Governor getting busted for corruption.
There has been extensive coverage on this "event" and strong words have been used to describe our Governor's behavior. This post is a compilation of one-word reactions from various sources.
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald - staggering, corrupt, arrogant
Court papers - greedy, vindictive
Chicago Mayor, Richard Daley - sad
Former Governor, Jim Edgar - unbelievable
Illinois Rep. Chapin Rose - awful
Illinois Rep. Bill Black - audacious
More Illinois lawmakers - disgusting, embarrassing
Jim VandeHei, Politico - shameful, delusional
Words heard from various newscasters - explosive, shocking, staggering, brazen, abomination
Viewer comments from cbs2chicago.com - reckless, overdue, deplorable, outlandish
Back in September of 2006, when he was asked about the accusations that led to the investigations into his activities, Rod Blagojevich had his own one-word reactions: absurd, ludicrous, ridiculous.
My one-word reaction to that...REALLY?
My one-word reaction to the charges against him...Disgraceful!
What's your one-word reaction?

well, I can't post the word and keep this family friendly, but it rhymes with a person who makes a living driving big rigs cross country.
Not a great day to be from Illinois, so sad becuase I love this state and Chicago so much.
Thanks for keeping it G-rated! Apparently, our Governor doesn't do the same when strong-arming people on the phone!
Im still fuming, and Im not sure why as I have never been a big follower of politics. Anyway, check this out from the sun times, Ryan has apologized, and here is the statement
