Yes, because Rahm and B Hussein wouldn't pay Blago the fee for my Senate appointment!

It’s the Democrat-on-Democrat nature of the Blagojevich controversy that gives it its present legs, and therefore keeps the story alive. The objection to Blago isn’t that he’s a crook. It’s that he’s a crook who got caught on tape being a crook. And on tape with him is Rahm Emanuel, who in order to preserve his pristine reputation (and by extension, that of the guy he reports to) must see to it that Blago takes the fall. So all those who support Rahm and his boss have closed ranks around the incoming president and in the great new tradition of throwing one of their own under the bus, have nominated Blago to take the fall.
The problem is, Blago didn’t get the memo. As nice as it would be to exonerate the Democrat party by falling on his own sword and making his crimes appear as just one of another series of supposedly isolated Democrat scandals, Blago has no intention of eating stale baloney sandwiches for the next fifteen years while sharing a cell with some guy named “Crusher.”
Therefore, despite Harry Reid’s and the press’ wishes, Blago isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. To stay in office he’s using the same Democrat logic on his fellow Dems that they’ve used on our side these past many years. Where’s the courtroom-quality proof? And if it’s there, it wasn’t collected legally, so it never really happened. And even if it did, it’s just about “money” (everyone in Illinois and the Democrat Party embraces pay for play, so why is Blago being singled out?). Like it or not, Blago is still the President — er, I mean Governor — and he’ll continue to act on the people’s behalf while his political enemies spread their lies and untruths, which they can’t prove, and even if they could it wouldn’t matter anyway because that’s how things are really done and everyone knows it.
Roland Burris is Blago’s post-deposition cruise missile launch against an empty aspirin factory. Don’t judge my boy Blago for his political chutzpah. Just admire it for what it is. He’s following in a great tradition of Democrat leaders who are helping to chart new ways to screw the American public, whose only questions of late are how far to bend over.
