Boggling

[bex77]

I've spent the past couple of hours being mind-boggled over the stupidity of the Illinois Governor.

"Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois was arrested by federal authorities on Tuesday morning on corruption charges, including an allegation that he conspired to effectively sell President-elect Barack Obama’s seat in the United States Senate to the highest bidder."

The quotes of things he said on the phone, that was tapped..amazingly stupid.

I know these things shouldn't shock me, but my oh my...

It's not as good as photos of stuffing money into your blouse, but it's close.

That seems to be the prevailing sentiment.
For my part, I'm pleased that the incoming White House team was not only not implicated, but -- as far as I can judge -- not actually involved.

Yes! I loved that "Blagojevich is quoted cursing Mr. Obama in apparent frustration that “they’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation.” Hee!
