| Description | This summer, we’ll all have the regrettable opportunity to watch what is hopefully the finale of Rod Blagojevich’s celebrity circuit – his trial.
Surely, we’d be better served to focus on our economic future and what’s at stake in November, but let’s be honest: We won’t be able to look away as he takes the stand and yet another reality show begins.
Some have suggested that the timing of the former governor’s trial will hurt Democratic candidates as voters go to the polls with testimony ringing in their ears, as if Blagojevich represents what all Democrats are, or could turn out to be.
It is important to remember that on ethics, neither party can claim purity. For every Tom DeLay, there’s a Charlie Rangel. For every Eric Massa, there’s a Larry Craig. And for every Rod Blagojevich, there’s a George Ryan. |
