That's The Problem With Corruption

A corrupt governor allegedly tries to sell a U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder but that's okay, right?

Democrats in the Illinois House of Representatives postponed stripping Governor Rod Blagojevich’s power to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama that prosecutors say Blagojevich tried to sell.

The governor, a Chicago Democrat, retains authority to appoint Obama’s successor while the House pursues an impeachment process that may last weeks. Democratic lawmakers led by House Speaker Michael Madigan dropped plans late yesterday to schedule a special election to fill the post after failing to agree in a closed-door meeting, said Steve Brown, a Madigan aide.

Thank goodness he didn't try to kill someone by drinking and driving, they may have agreed to let him keep the keys to the car. Chicago politics at it's best.

I sure would like to see the hard drives that came out of that office.
