FBI Informant: Blagojevich was Chicago Mob Connected bookie- Chicagoist Website Says ABC TV Chicago Picked Up Story From Reading Newsalert

Chicagoist reports:
ABC 7 has picked up a story reported last week by Newsalert that federal informant Robert Cooley has alleged that Governor Blagojevich was originally a bookie who paid off Chicago mobsters to operate. Cooley was a federal informant in the late 80's and early 90's as part of Operation Gambat. This is perhaps the most bananas accusation we've heard yet, but - again - nothing short of Blago eating a child whole on live television would be shocking at this point.
