PEObama is in the hot seat-or should I say was in the hot seat. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has been arrested for attempting to sell or trade former Senator Obama's Senate seat. The Governor was not only arrested on these charges but also with attempting to get the editors of the Chicago Tribune fired because of their criticisms of his governance.

Not only is this hugely ridiculous but probably one of the bigger political scandals of our my lifetime. (For you old heads, I was not alive for Watergate.. so chill.) You could count former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry smoking crack as a scandal but I personally wouldn't.

PEObama has nothing to worry about as all of this selling nonsense took part far away from him and concerns a man who has been recorded calling our President Elect a "motherfucker" within the past month.

Things don't look good for Blagojevich with all of these charges mounting against him. Seems like he should have just called up Barry and shared a puff of the pipe instead.

Head on over to the Huffington Post to read all about the scandal. They have it covered!
