It is apparently widespread conventional wisdom that Blago is "corrupt". 

Here's a governor who has never been convicted of anything (as far as I know), has not even been indicted, yet even that wouldn't truly allow the use of the label "corrupt", would it? 

It just seems like it is a given he is corrupt simply because a US Attorney says so.  Is that enough?  Should that be enough?  Should partial transcripts from a criminal complaint be enough?  Is seeming to be "creepy" enough?

I just wonder what kind of horrible precedent [by Democratic leaders, especially, in their hurry to fall over themselves condemning this man] we are setting.  Does anytime a prosecutor file corruption type charges against a sitting governor, senator, whatever, mean from now on guilty of being corrupt until proven innocent?

You have to wonder if the glee Democrats have taken from the Abramoff scandal (and the many actual convictions resulting therefrom) has somehow forced them to "jump the shark" so to speak in convicting one of their own in sad sort of "...Caesar's wife must be above suspicion..." way.

What good can come of this?

 

 

 

Principle. The Right Thing.  The Honorable Thing.  What a crock of shit!  This is politics, people, not beanbag. No fair fighting. No Marquis of Queensbury Rules.

Mitch McConnell and his racist, sexist, xenophobic and homophobic minions want to destroy the United States of America, at least the part left over after 8 years of the Boy Blunder and Dr. Doom.

We are way past puritanism.  We need to SAVE this country.  It won't happen if Obama is not absolutely ruthless in his pursuit of change.  

No wimps needed.  No boy scouts, no All American heroes.  Just plain strait forward legislating of progressive values.   Harry Reid needs to purchase some balls and get with the program.  Accept Blago's gift and move on.  Obama needs to quit with the kumbaya crap (Rick Warren my ass) and fulfill ALL of his campaign promises.  The entire economic plan needs to be on his desk January 20th ready for signature. And that is going to take all 59 democrats, not 57.  

This is a "gift horse", so to speak, and Harry Reid and company should quit bitching and seat the guy.  We need the vote for the Obama agenda right now---next week; not two months from now.

Thank you Blago (you very creepy SOB)!
