This seems to be one of the last stands and last ditch arguments that Democrats are making.
"Politicians are offered jobs all the time." That is being said over and over now in defense of the Obama administration.
"This guy gets offered a job, that guy gets offered one, too, in Washington D.C."
Democrats are intentionally trying to sweep ALL job offers in gov't into one basket, and nothing is further from the truth.
Trying to influence the outcome of a federal election is illegal.

“Both parties do it. It’s not a crime...”
Presidents from both parties fired US Attorneys at will, and that’s not a crime, but that did not prevent the Democrats from investigating it.
Everyone agreed that leaking Plame’s id to the media was not a crime, but that did not prevent a special prosecutor from investigating it, and obtaining a conviction of Libby for not cooperating with his investigation.

I have heard “Everybody does this in Washington” just on cable news more times than I can count.
But that is an intentional broad brushstroke meant to lump all job offers in Washington D.C. politics into one basket.

“well then why are they so upset at blago??”
Precisely. Either everyone does it—in which case going after Blago is wrong—or it really IS corrupt—in which case the federal government should be pursuing Obama officials with the same vigor as Blago.
Thus, either way you look at it, this administration is being massively hypocritical. But then again, what else is new?

If I were Blago, I would be very publicly asking why the selective prosecution of him when everybody does it.
