Potty-Mouthed Patti

Rod Blagojevich was not alone in his expletive-ridden rages against his political enemies. He was egged on by his foul mouthed wife Patti, daughter of Richard Mell, a longtime Chicago alderman, who got his son in law into politics before they spectacularly fell out with each other. A mother of two daughters, Patti, 43, has a BA in economics and runs a lucrative real estate company, three quarters of whose clients won state contracts or made contributions to the governor. Among them was Obama’s convicted friend and donor Antoin “Tony” Rezko, currently awaiting sentencing for fraud and influence peddling. But it is her expletive ridden exchanges with her husband that stand out from the complaint. In one barely decipherable tirade, she yells to Blago he should “hold up that [expletive] Cubs [expletive] ... [expletive] them.” According to the indictment, Patti hoped to sell off Obama's senate seat for placement on paid corporate boards.
