FBI informant: Blagojevich was mob-connected bookie

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has gained notoriety for his involvement in a pay-to-play corruption scandal -- but is it possible that he was once a petty criminal?

Attorney and former police officer Robert Cooley claims that back when he was doing undercover work for the FBI in the late 1980's, Blagojevich was a bookie on the North Side of Chicago who was making payoffs to the mob.

Cooley said in a web interview last week, "I observed Rod, the present governor, who was running a gambling operation out in the western suburbs, he was paying street tax to the mob out there."


Why won't this jackass step down?
