Rod Blagojevich
Our esteemed governor, Rod Blagojevich (pronounced bluh-GOY-uh-vich) has apparently been
trying to sell Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat. Great. This is just the latest incident in Illinois's very sordid political history. My hope is that this doesn't hurt President-elect Obama too badly -- he's not implicated in the mess, but of course Fox News has jumped into the Obama angle of the story with both feet. Since I didn't grow up in Illinois and didn't take Illinois history, I need a little insight into when and why things went so wrong. Somewhere between Abraham Lincoln and
George Ryan, ethics and morality completely excused themselves from politics in this state.
