For a charity, how is money ever "tainted"? would some really have said, "Oh, you accepted money from the wife of a disgraced governor that she won on a reality game show, so your important cancer work must immediately stop"? Uh....no.
Blagojevich is toxic.
And to all you people who think Patti had nothing to do with his criminal deeds, you don't know fucking shit. Patti was a big partner in the racketeering gambit that was Blagojevich Enterprises (she's on the tapes, people) and her last job was getting paid 80,000 a year in some bullshit gig at another Chicago charity that one of the charity's board members secured for her who just oh so coincidentally happens to be a former consulting partner of Blagojevich Senate appointee Roland Burris.
She has since been fired from that charity gig because the charity's association with Patti Blagojevich was hurting the charity's image and ability to collect donations.
It makes sense, people.
