Earlier today, a grand jury convicted former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat, on 17 of 20 counts of corruption. 11 of of the guilty verdicts related to attempts to profit from the "sale" of the U.S. Senate seat Barack Obama vacated when he became president. At USA Today's On Deadline blog (as of its 5:33 p.m. update), Michael Winter failed to identify Blagojevich or any other politician involved as a Democrat.

Well, at least they didn’t mislabel him a republican, like some news stories do when democrats do bad things.
Not surprised
Blago didn’t want to play ball with obama and wanted to auction off Hussein’s seat for himself.
Barrack needed that seat to sell for his warchest. Blago brought a knife, barrack brought a gun. You effed up Blago.
True on that, but Blago is facing a long time in prison and probably be very willing to spill the beans on anyone including baraq.
fingers crossed.
If you only watch NBC, CBS and ABC, you’d think that no Dem was ever convicted of anything.
They will carry Dem corruption stories when they start and as long as it looks like they may win the case or if they win the case. But as soon as conviction happens, the lights go out on the story.
They can’t even be matter-of-fact on something this important? I don’t have much, if any, faith in the so-called “professional journalists” of our times.
