First one to say that our government sucks. Probably not the last.

Isn't it interesting how the United States criticizes Russian corruption and Chinese corruption and corruption in all kinds of other states when it still hasn't even come close to eliminating its own corruption problem.

typical fucking SERB,this motherfucker is from serbia.

Well, Blago got his today with the 59-0 vote to impeach. He's also finished from public office per the senate vote. Whats the boy going to do now. Maybe spend some time in jail for quite a while.

After that he may want to consider a career in radio broadcasting since he does have a way with words. Louisiana has it's own Edwin Edwards that was Governor for 3 or 4 terms. He was charismatic just like Blagoboy. Just more cunning. He has since retired and is living in the fed pen in texas.

> Blagoyevich is part of the same corrupt machine which Obama fronts for.

> That's right, Barry is dirty.

Well said.

Its against the law to even suggest trading for favors, which is what he is being accused of. He doesnt have to technically do anything. It still doesnt take away from the fact that Blogofuck is an narcissitic ass hole who needs to be thrown out of office.

i wouldn't call it either, i'd call it a plutocracy.

Well he is a martyr then BofA capitulated and paid the workers the money their management screwed them out of not the BofA.

[Ameriqanista]

If you consult the gentlemen who design the system they would not even call it a democracy but a federal republic.

Nobody can be surprised by any of this. Our government, from top to bottom, is infected with corruption. Oh sure, there are a few "good guys," but they have been exposed to the corruption, and are probably infected with it, too.

The first & second highest offices in the land have been occupied for the last 8 years by the most infected & infectious pair this this country has ever been openly exposed to. Their disease is so advanced that it has essentially killed the republican party.
