Gov. Rod Blagojevich has not survived his federal indictment charges of scheming to auction off Barack Obama's Senate seat, pressuring a congressman for campaign money, and lying to FBI agents. This latest information in the saga of our political landscape reminded me of the words of Will Rogers. "The more you read and observe about this politics thing, you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other." But perhaps Truman had the best definition. "A statesman is a politician who's been dead for ten or fifteen years."
You see in Blagojevich's case, a bribe is a gift with which the giver says, "Thanks," and the receiver says, "Don't mention it."
