One Fugly Governor

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is going the extra mile to remind us that the term corrupt politician is far too often redundant.

Click the headline to this post and read the entire 76-page indictment against the Governor. Pretty unsavory, to say the least.

It's such an alarming paradox that the political arena spawns; I wonder if the world of politics simply attracts unethical people, or if honest and ethical people fall victim to corruption once engulfed in the business of politics.

Either way, the pilfering of the public trust continues in Illinois and cynicism gnaws deeper than ever.
