BLAG MAN:

Obama, Clinton Connected to Blago Scheme: Obama sent Blago a list of 16 people he wanted Blago to hire (ANDREW GREINER, Oct 16, 2009, NBC Chicago)

No one needs more evidence that Rod Blagojevich is corrupt.

The Sun-Times dug some up anyway, and the latest round of Blago shadiness goes all the way to the top.

Turns out that when the former governor instituted a state-hiring freeze back in 2003, it was just a ruse so that he could do favors for a bunch of politically connected buddies. He ended up hiring just over 2,500 people during the so-called freeze.

But these weren’t ordinary applicants; politicians, including then-state-senator Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, pushed all the job seekers on Blago.
