Corruption lies far deeper than it seems http://www.examiner.com/political-buzz-in-chicago/blagojevich-is-just-the-beginning
How did the Land of Lincoln spawn such incredible layers of political corruption? It seems to have no end and, with the potential of having at least 2 ex-governors in prison for less-than-ethical-conduct, where will it lead? To a reform movement, or a continuation of the same old tired political misbehavior?
The Revolution has a new theme song!

The Revolution starts here!
He was probably the least corrupt politician in Illinois. Which is not saying much.
Blagovich helps me understand why idiots are bosses. Powerful people need to be corrupt to do the 1%'s bidding.

Blagojevich got a bad rap.
Did Blagojevich actually accept any money?
He's not accused of taking money like Mike Bloomberg's friends do. He is accused really of being a politician who cannot buy his office, yet actins so "uppity" as to fight the Bank of America and Big Pharma and raise taxes oin the rich, in behalf of the majority of citizens of Illinois.
I ended up writing an article about Rod for my dailypuma blog.

Blagojevich got a bad rap. I hope he wins on appeal. He fought Bank of America on behalf of low wage workers in Chicago. He fought to increase medical care for the people of Illinois. His crime really was that he had to play for pay, which is the idiom of all politics in this country as he is not a billionaire. In other words, for being a Robin Hood while not being Michael Bloomberg.
