Blago Should Have Put It on Ebay
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

I'm looking for the first MSM wag who will have the gumption to suggest that Rod Blagojevich, the Dem Illinois governor accused of trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat, should have put it on Ebay.

Suggested MSM defense of Blago: hey, even with the bailouts, car czars and other government intervention in the economy, we're still trying to encourage the free market system, aren't we? If it was good enough for Sarah Palin and the Alaksa governor's plane, why shouldn't Blago have been entitled to test the market to see what a Senate seat is worth? ;-)

Just heard a report on CBS radia news. Not one mention of the “dem” word.

LOL - Rush announcing that “Da Maire” Daley just threw Blago under the bus.

Frankly, as to the Senate seat I find this only slightly less corrupt than the DE gov appointing Biden’s Chief of Staff who’s promised to keep the seat warm for Beau Biden for two years. The concept these people hold of governmental power is so perverted.

Guess Fitzmas is every conservative’s fav prosecutor today ;)
