"The harm here is not measured in the value of money and property," Judge Zagel tells Blagojevich.

"The harm is the erosion of the public trust in government; [people's] confidence in and trust in government," Zagel said.

He needs that many for no other reason than his arrogance and shitty attitude of wasting everyone's time after he was caught.

If I came up through the NY Democrat machine to national office, damn right if would be fair for you to paint with that brush.

We dont have a republican party in NYC.   Its in name only.   NY is a one party state.

So basically what you are saying is that we can expect 99% of all politicians to be corrupt no matter what party they belong to?

So why continuously preface statements with references to the Democratic party?

Because Illinois and NYS are virtually one party states.

That is no excuse.  I think everyone knows and expects that ALL politicians are going to lie and cheat.  The best ones are the ones you never read about or get caught doing it.

So he tried to sell a seat...who gives a shit.  We got a drug cartel running sitting in the White House and Cops beating the shit out of people at will, killing their dogs, putting guns to childrens heads. 

I guess since it wasn't a lobbyist it was illegal.  ::)
