Blagojevich Poster Boy For Governmental Corruption

The arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is a breathtaking example of corruption in government. Politics, possibly the second oldest profession, has much in common with the oldest, except it is dirtier.
The only way democracy can ever work as intended is for corruption to be rooted out and severely punished. The people will never trust government unless it is believed to be honest and competent. Obviously there is a long way to go! There is no level of government free of this taint and it is incumbent upon the voters not to elect such jerks as Blagojevich to office!
