The Chicago Christian Industrial League fired Patti Blagojevich this week from her $100,000-a-year job there as a fundraiser. The CCIL wouldn't say why they fired Patti B., but the Beachwood Blago Bureau has learned that her supervisors and co-workers simply could not tolerate the following behavior:
- Kept making real coffee in the decaf container.
- Stole black running suit from the used clothing bin.
- Insisted she paid entry fee for office bowling team but league says they never received it.
- Tried to name homeless man named Chuck the director of the state highway department.
- Tried to get homeless clients to appear at husband's press conferences.
- Gave a lump of coal as her office Secret Santa gift.
