Although I currently reside in Washington DC, I still call the great state of Illinois home. So imagine my surprise, or I should say unfortunate lack of, when I heard that our governor was arrested today by the FBI on claims of “wide-ranging criminal conspiracy that included Blagojevich conspiring to sell or trade the Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama in exchange for financial benefits for the governor and his wife.”

Political corruption has become a norm in the United States and it’s bullshit, for lack of a better word. Whether it’s the guys over on Wall Street, the CEO’s in Detroit, a President disregarding the constitution, or a Governor selling a senate seat, I think the lack of accountability by our leaders needs to end. There are too many honest, intelligent people in the US to allow this to keep happening. The people who are passing laws shouldn’t be the same ones breaking them. Am I crazy here?

(Video) Funny “Daily Show” segment featuring Rod Blagojevich. Turns out he didn’t know the “Daily Show” was a comedy show.
