If naiveté were a crime, Jesse Jackson Jr. could be looking at a life sentence. Either that, or Senate candidate 5 wasn't being completely candid in his press conference this afternoon.
Jackson professed shock that Rod Blagojevich—a man who long before this week's arrest had a Katrina-sized cloud over his head—might have been conducting his Senate-seat search in accordance with anything but the most Mother Teresa-worthy standards.
View video here.
Excerpts from Jackson's statement:

He’s been so mired in crooked politics all his life, he thinks it’s normal.

Did Jackson, Jr. really go into his meeting of Monday with the governor with the expectations of an Eagle Scout candidate meeting with the troop leader? Will the MSM point out that, assuming Jackson's telling the truth, the people of Illinois would be ill-served by a senator that naive?Just like Barky Obama. Pure as the driven snow.

Blago watched Daddy Jackson in action and learned well. Jr Jackson didn’t fall far from the tree. If he thinks at all he sees these actions as normal. Just a family tradition.

"I thought mistakenly that the governor was going to make a decision in the best interests of our state as well as our nation. I thought mistakenly that the governor was considering me based on my 13 years of hard work on behalf of the people of our state as well as our nation. I thought mistakenly that I had a chance and that I was being considered because I had earned it. Clearly I was badly mistaken. I did not know that the process had been corrupted. I did not know that credentials, that qualifications, that a record of service meant nothing to the governor."
