hmmmm...This is at least the second article in three days by Ms. Haberkorn about Gov. Blagojevich where she failed to identify him as a Democrat. hmmmm...She probably just simply forgot to put that in there. Both times. Yea, that's it.

How do the "Eight years in office, $10.6 trillion debt" and "Bush holiday extension to cost $450 billion" fall into the category of "See related stories" related to Bl******'s corruption? Is the Times becoming another propaganda rag for the DNC?

This guy is a crook, plain and simple. He needs to spend 20 years behind bars. What a joke. Check out GloomBoom.com - it will make your day!

Recently indicted Bergen County, NJ Democratic boss Joe Ferriero makes Blago look like an amateur - his pay to play schemes have been raising between 4 and 10 million annually for years! They all claim there is no quid quo pro. The problem is in the culture - the voters accept it, the politicians treat it as the norm, and they all say "Not me!" when the indictment comes down.

Theirs no apology necessary to the citizens of Illinois, theirs no embarrassment to the Illinois citizens with this sunshine. It's what they've been voting for for the past two centuries. Unfortunately, our entire political system is operating this way. Show your anger, support heavy metal music, www.malice420.com

They better hurry and get him committed to the insane asylum before he starts letting out all the juicy details. So, liberalism is a mental disorder after all...

We in Mississippi are used to this. Our Attorney General gives contigency fee no-bid contracts to his campaign contributors all the time: http://rightofmississippi.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/jim-hood-pay-for-play-with-full-documentation/

OMG!! A crooked politician, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. I wish someone would run for office that was against corruption and promise honesty and transparency. Oh, wait, he did. Someone else did too. They all do.

What did you expect from a Democrat that served under the Clintons? Get real that level of corruption with no legal action taken against the criminals just made their underlings think that they too could break the law with no consiquence.

And you're about to see a lot more of this in a few months. Watch as Obama's supporters get big "green" contracts to stop "global warming". Global warming is the biggest scam being perpetrated on the American public but it's a GREAT way to pay off political allies as they head "commissions" and "study" groups funded by the taxpayer. For pity's sake people, WAKE UP!! Scientists admit (under pressure) it was warmer in the Middle Ages than it is now. Where were the SUVs and coal plants then? There weren't any! This is a scam and you're dumb enough to buy it.
