The news networks are going hog wild about the Blago verdict. He was convicted to the FBI on one count and a hung jury on the other 23 counts. The government is going to try him on the other 23 counts, so we will have another circus show trial.

This stems from Blago trying to sell the Senate seat that used to belong to President Obama. It is something that almost every governor has done from the time the Constitution was passed and governors were allowed to select senators and members of the House of Representatives. Blago just got caught because 1. he was stupid and bragged about it and 2, he pissed off Obama by not selecting Obama's choice for the seat to be the next Senator from Illinois.
BTW, in the above link, count the number of times, Blago was described as a Democrat. Oh, I'll save you the time. The answer is 0. Zero. None.
