This Blogevich Nonsense

Blagojevich.
You missed a few syllables.

pay to play = political sop

a real indicator of the importance I attach to this dickhead....

Gubernatorial (is that a word?) misconduct is certainly nothing new. Would that island Bear wants to exile people to take our governor? It is possible that when the Blogo bruhaha blows over in the media, this one will be on the front page:

Chalupagate... That will be much more interesting.

..but but he wants to restore public faith. How can you deny that!

Actually, that guy abused his powers throughout his tenure as Governor,
the corruption charges were just the tip of the ice berg so to speak.

Why can't we just get this news headline daily or weekly or hourly or whenever it's appropriate?

"We caught Another One Involved In Douchebaggery. It's Been Taken Care Of"

now move along you looky lous....

I agree with you totally, Bear, that the Blago thing has been woefully overblown by the media. When that other Illinois governor -- what was his name? Sullivan? -- was forced from office recently there was nothing close to this kind of wall-to-wall coverage.

But, as to the why of it -- remember whose former Senate seat Blago was trying to peddle? That's the hook the newshounds are hanging these stories on.
