Chicago Man Offers Gov Blagojevich Monopoly Money and a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Card for US Senate Seat

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec 17, 2008 -
Chicago, IL – In a sarcastic letter sent to Governor Blagojevich, Chicago resident Patrick McDonald offered one million dollars in Monopoly money, along with a get-out-of-jail-free card from the same board game, as a bribe to be appointed to Barack Obama's congressional seat. The 31-year-old is already campaigning for the office of president for the next general election (his campaign site is at http://McDonald2012.com) but would accept the appointment should the Governor accept his bribe, or if he were offered the seat by legitimate means.

"When I announced my campaign back in November, I said that we shouldn't look for experienced politicians to fill roles of leadership because they are too often tainted by a corrupt system," recalled McDonald. "Thank you Governor for proving me right to an absurd extent."

So absurd is the extent of alleged corruption and improbity that McDonald felt compelled to write the letter. "The only way I would ever stoop to pay-to-play politics is in the realm of satire. I hope the governor accepts my generous offer."

His focus still on the 2012 election, McDonald would be willing to "pull an Obama" and use the U.S. Senate as a stepping stone to the oval office.
