The Senate Family and its bastard

The United States Senate could be likened to one big family with members that come together to bicker with one another and they have to parties that do all the fighting. (Remind you any family parties you might have had?) At any rate every family probably has its black sheep and the Senate is no exception.

Illinois governor Rod R. Blagojevich gave the US Senate its illegitimate, bastard child. After being charged with the following:
conspiring to obtain personal financial benefits for Blagojevich by leveraging his sole authority to appoint a United States Senator; threatening to withhold substantial state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of Wrigley Field to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members sharply critical of Blagojevich; and to obtain campaign contributions in exchange for official actions
Ole' Blago decided that he better appoint a new senator. Now Illinois and the federal government are thrown into an even greater legal and constitutional debacle that will further detract from the historic election of Barack Obama and the economic apocalypse that we face. Frankly, I like Richard Nixon better because at least he was not a complete fuck-up, he was paranoid, but at least he was relatively competent. Blago can not even cover up his crime. He also looks like some sort of horse with its mane all stacked up in one spot. I dislike you more than Dick Cheney because he did not overshadow other peoples day of glory. Mr. Blagojevich you are a bitch, I hope you go to prison just like your predecessor.

I hate you more than any other politican. You have taken away from a great day in American history, this shall forever taint the history books, and ruin a perfect, cinderella story. More importantly this appointment did not belong to you, it belonged to the people of Illinois and that has been taken away from them now. You can go fuck yourself and you can take your illegimate appointment with you.
