Bag Blago!

Ha! Like the fact that the right wing thinks that they can use this to impeach Obama…ratsa ruck with dat! The don’t seem to realize that a) they have far fewer partisans in the House and Senate that back when Newt went after Clinton, and b) if Fitz was recording these calls then the fact that he hasn’t gone after “Senator” Obama for offering Blago a bribe says millions.

Blago, in the released tape transcripts, quite clearly is grumbing about getting nada…nuttin’…jack…from the Obama Administration for nominating a particular candidate…except for a little congratulations, that is. So when is one “guilty” when approached by a crook and offered, but deny. to participate in a crime. I guess that’s just so outside the Republican way of thinking that they assume “offer > acceptance”. It’s second nature to them! So they think “everyone must do it like we do!”.

OT: but ouch! You go Leahy!

i like leahy’s below-the-surface bubbling sense of justice….a little anger with a smile on his face, much like Fitz

Fritz and other ethical prosecuters should be tasked with a “purge” of the corruption in government. Sadly Blagojevich is an example of business as usual where insider elite make the decisions for “We the People”.
Power corrupts and without oversight it grows. Trading favors is really the rule in politics. Example the letter Leahy wrote to Specter asking for consideration for the support he had given for a entourage trip abroad.
It crosses party line.
Progressive side of the Dem party have not been infected with politics as usual. Whether political brand the rule of law and ethical standards should apply. Far as I am concerned Blagojevich is guilty at least of being less sophisticated in deception techniques.

Hey, at least we aren’t faced with corruption withdrawal!

Call this the Corruption Transition Team, no?
