Ya'll were pretty quick to throw this dude under the bus...
...but as I have said before, talking about criminal activity is ENTIRELY different that actually going through with it.

From today's New York Times online

Expect the Illinois Governor to spend years in court contesting these basically bullshit charges. He probably broke the law at some point in his tenure, but simply tape recording some lout bragging to his minions that he is going to sell the soon to be available Senate seat to the highest bidder is NOT criminal. Stupid and creepy. But not criminal.
He has to actually offer it to somebody before it's a crime! Apparently, Bush's agents didn't know the law well enough to do wait that long. And for that, they will have failed in their attempt to put the guy behind bars. It may take years, but Gov. Blagojevich will never spend another minute in jail or prison. Bank on it.
