Can we recall him?

Blago on his "gift" to the CTA:

Gov. Rod Blagojevich: "I would say that they should not look a gift horse in the mouth—[the money] is nothing to sneeze at. If someone came to me and said, 'Here is $24-$25 million, we want to help you and we also promise to work on a long-term solution, as we've been doing for months and months,' it seems to me, pretty ungrateful if they turn down this help."

So his "gift" is an advance on next year's money, so it's not really a gift, as they would have had that money anyway. Then he promises to work on something he should have been working on all of this summer. What a maroon. The RTA should just say NO. But they won't, so we'll do it all again end of next month.
