I wasn’t going to mention anything about Rod Blagojevich’s arrest this morning because DrewM<\/a>, Slublog<\/a> and Michelle Malkin<\/a> have all done such a great job of keeping me informed, I figured I can’t add anything of substance. But sitting here watching the US Attorney’s news conference just infuriates me. (You can see the video and transcript of the press conference at Gateway Pundit<\/a>) Ya know, I’ve listened to the Left blather on about corruption in the Bush Administration while this REAL corruption is happening.<\/p>\n

I’ve read the blather from the hippies about “this is what a police state looks like” referring to the attempts to make them act civilized. But here’s a real police state – a politician witholding funds from a childrens’ hospital (for Pete’s sake) until the CEO pays him some cash. A politician using his office to get journalists fired. Selling a seat in the upper house of Congress.<\/p>\n

Do I blame Obama? Nope. I’m sure he’s not poltically inept enough to know anything about it. The first Democrat who tries to rush to the aid of this slug should be shot. I know how forgiving Democrats are towards their own criminals (Marion Berry) and I just expect it cynical asshole that I am.<\/p>\n

Added: Charles Krauthammer said he’s not just corrupt. He’s psychotically corrupt.<\/p>\n

This is the headline AP chose – notice how far you have to read to find out to which party the crook belongs.<\/p>\n

Bits Blog<\/a> thinks it all sounds a little too familiar. Laughing Wolf reports that Blackfive<\/a> may have been caught in a pay for play scheme involving Uncle Jimbo’s beer money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
