Politics is a dirty game, but no state does dirty quite like Illinois. Rod Blagojevich proudly carried on the fine tradition of filthy, Chicago-machine style politics and brought it to a whole new level of entitlement, greed and corruption. Although I should probably be ashamed of the fact that my fine state's governor has been an embarrassment to its citizens yet again, I would rather make some popcorn and cruise the cable news channels for more information and watch as the spectacle goes down.
