NPR’s Robert Siegel had a very revealing interview with Illinois Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn. The two things I found most interesting were his comments at the end. He said that he hadn’t exchanged more than pleasantries with Blagojevich since August 2007 – over a year ago. I know high ranking politicians frequently lead sheltered lives, surrounded by layers and layers of handlers, but the fact that the governor and his second in command didn’t talk for over a year is mind boggling. If I ever went even a month without talking to my immediate superior at work I would think something was dysfunctional. The second revealing comment he made was when Siegel asked if Quinn was surprised, and Quinn’s reply was no.
