Well, the Dems have extra reason to be pissed at Blagojevich.   Not only have his shenanigans (going way back before this Senate seat thing) been a black mark on the party in Chigago, but they may result in the Dems losing a Senate seat that should have been theirs.   

Still, what Blagojevich is accused of re the Senate appointment is not that far afield of the LEGAL horsetrading that goes on among politicians and lobbyists.   And the Bush administration has been as heavily involved in trading government appointments for political favors as anyone else I can think of, if not more so.    What wonders might we uncover if Patrick Fitzgerald were turned loose on Bush and Cheney and all their cohorts?
