Roger’s Rules » The real news from Chicago: a thought experiment
Corruption doesn’t necessarily have to be illegal in politics. In fact, legal corruption — institutionalized, open corruption — is far more damaging to the system. Look at Michelle Obama’s “community outreach” job. That’s nothing but graft, paid by the taxpayers at a thousand dollars a day, money that is taken from and entrusted by the taxpayers to treat illnesses. More sophisticated than Blagojevich’s demands, certainly, but how is it different otherwise?
Well, I guess the main difference is that Rod Blagojevich isn’t the First Black Lightbringer of the United States.
