In Louisiana we'd have just called Blagojevich ambitious

Road projects for $100,000 fundraiser? That's the cost of a nursing home license here.

1. Biggest chuckle I've had all day.

3. You may be the ONE state that "gets" Illinois politics.

Huey P and David Duke--you guys have almost the same reputation as us Illinois politicians.

Most days I can roll with it, but as an office holder every once and a while I get crap that makes me realize just how little anyone trusts any of us. Makes me nuts. Every term I take an oath to follow the laws and I take it seriously. Pisses me off when guys like Blago make us all look bad.

4. Road projects are what funds the party organization here, better than paying for it ourselves

9. And don't forget Edwin W. Edwards!!

"The only way I won't be elected is if I'm caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy".

11. Or a more corrupt US Attorney, hard to believe anyone in that office would be more of a slime than

John Voltz but Eddie Jordan beat him by a mile. Both during the Edwards sham of a trail and his brief time as DA.

5. Corruption abounds in both political parties...........

which is exactly why our nation is in such HUGE trouble.

7. It's called grease, and sometimes when things are stuck and not moving a little oil helps out

it's the way of the world and not cause for any "HUGE trouble."

[Double T]

10. Not sure which country on what planet you are living in/on.......

but it does create 'HUGE trouble'. Just because it is the way of the world, sure doesn't make it right; corrupt criminals are the modern day role models.

6. Take a look at the Plain Dealer here in Cleveland and you will see

almost the same stuff...

They use to call it pay to play.

8. Not even super ambitious?
