Sorry for being such a party pooper, but that “Section 6 of the 25th Amendment” bit was too ridiculous to ignore. : )
However, I do think that another point made by the author does deserve further analysis (here’s the exact language from the ABC News story):
The FBI affidavit said Blagojevich had been told by an adviser “the president-elect can get Rod Blagojevich’s wife on paid corporate boards in exchange for naming the president-elect’s pick to the Senate.”
Told by two other advisers he has to “suck it up” for two years, the FBI says it heard Blagojevich complain he has to give this “motherf***er [the president-elect] his senator. F*** him. For nothing? F*** him.”
The governor is heard saying he will pick another candidate “before I just give f***ing [Senate Candidate l] a f***ing Senate seat and I don’t get anything.”

That's the story in all of this! Obama offered a bribe to Blago to get his crony in office. Watch for the MSM to ignore and spin this...
