Illinois Governor Arrested for Trying to Sell Obama Senate Seat
# 7 Morton Doodslag:
Right on the money–pun intended. Knowing how a plutocrat’s mind works, by way of post-communist Eastern Europe in a lawless environment, where corruption is the rule–”Everybody does it, that’s the way to get anything, power and money, why wouldn’t I? I’d be a fool not to do it”–to me Blago is neither stupid, nor arrogant. Bloggers are searching for adjectives to define what seems incrompehensible.
To me, it’s not. It’s how things are done “over there,” and increasingly here, with citizens’ taxes, at the public trough. Blagojevich has had his back covered for shady dealings for years, and must have thought he’d overcome any legal challenge. All the government people indicted or in jail are but a scratch on the surface of Chicago political corruption.
