Jim Lehrer (PBS 'Journalist')

"The only thing Blagojevich did that's different than the nromal course of human events is that he was gross about it and he said it - he didn't say it publicly, but he said it - there's trading that goes on all the time over Senate - the appointment fo senator - of empty Senate seats...What's the big deal here?"

**Hey Jim, get a clue buddy!

Almost every American knows Blago has committed a major snaffu trying to sell off Obama's Senate seat. Hell, even most Chicagoans know it is wrong, which says a lot.

Of course politics is a lot of horse-trading, but no one can justify politicians committing extortion or taking bribes........Well, no one except Jim Lehrer, that is. Leave it to a journalist at PBS, working on the taxpayer's payroll, to be such a moron.**
