    This is amazing. People are really getting involved on the discussion.

    I didn't think they could pull it off, but I was proved wrong. This truly is becoming a for the people and by the people administration.

    What a refreshing change.

    Media in biased coverage shocker. In other news, yes, the world is in fact round.

    I'm sure I've heard about this Blagojevich fellow being involved in similar dealings before.

    this has something to do with Obama
    Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested on Tuesday on charges that he brazenly conspired to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder...

    being from Chicago thinks that this is extremly pathetic..no suprise to me that he is corrupt

    I don't know if you were being sarcastic, but if you weren't, since when has "necessity" been a valid defence?

    You know, due to the current recession I might be tempted to do it if I could. It's just that Blagojevich seems to have a history of doing things like this.

    Well then that means he's really good. He knew that the recession was coming long before everybody else and he was just preparing..

    On a serious note, I'm obviously joking. If this is true then it really sucks for him. Especially because he is half Serbian (although, he has as much to do with Serbia as me with Burkina Faso).
