Freeper Sorry screen name in use: Blago is corrupt, he wanted at least a cool mill and a five year cozy chair for the Senate seat
NEWSMAN JIM LEHRER: So? What's the big deal here?
Freeper Sorry screen name in use: That's abuse of power, soliciting bribes.
NEWSMAN JIM LEHRER: Yeah? You're a wing-nut. I mean there's always been trade-offs. That's what I'm saying.
Freeper Sorry screen name in use: Obama's up to his neck in it.
NEWSMAN JIM LEHRER: Right, OK. Sure. You right wing haters are all alike. Racists. Obama has nothing to do with this situation, besides that there's nothing wrong here. It's a tempest in a teapot, stirred up by all the troofers and wing-nuts.
Freeper Sorry screen name in use: I can't understand your saying that this is all okay -- it isn't it's criminal!
NEWSMAN JIM LEHRER: Look, here's what I'm actually essentially asking here, is that -- is that he just went over the line of something that is the way you do business. Blagojevich, that is. Obama did not go over the line, Obama is doing business just the way it has to be done.
Freeper Sorry screen name in use: But that way is Chicago Politics -- it's corrupt, it's full of bribes and abuse of official powers.
NEWSMAN JIM LEHRER: You have no evidence of that, all just your loony conspiracy theories. And stop the racist hectoring of President-elect Obama. Even Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg's son vouches for Obama. You can't get any more authoritative than that. Are you calling HER corrupt?
