The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I think he is honestly confused about the hubbub over the senate seat.

In my opinion that is a relatively minor issue. Blagojovich may have been excessively explicit about it but what he did is barely any farther along selling the seat than happens all the time.

It's the other charges (the one that nobody in the national press cares about) that are far more damning in my opinion. So, I think -- a tad reasonably -- he's feeling the outrage of a jaywalker getting a ticket. Sure, technically it is illegal but everybody does it so why are you picking on him?

This is not to say that his public responses have been particularly sane.
