Don’t you love how crooks always scream loud and long about how they were setup or framed or just plain innocent?  Well, the Governor of Illinos, Rod Blagojevich, is screaming loud, “I will be vindicated.”  Sure he will — just like all of the other Illinois’ governors who went to jail.  Probably the reason Blago’s wife and brother got lawyers as well, because they knew Rod was innocent.  The big problem here is that Rod will likely not be put in jail long enough to discourage the next governor from the same type of corruption. Not only is Blago likely guilty on everything he is being charged with but probably lots more.

Everyday there are new allegations of corruption: Lehman broker is the latest one.   And today we learned that Sarah Palin’s future in law was arrested for dealing drugs.  Gotta love those home town values in Wasilla — the meth capital of Alaska — as Sarah said, “the real America.”  Of course, Sarah just had no idea any of that was going on.  In fact, Sarah has never admitted to her own personal ethics violations, and what about the suspicious contractor connections who built her house?  You know the same contractors who got the multi-million deal building the Wasilla arena?  These are just a few things we know about.

Really, should anybody be surprised?  America is the land of greed and corruption.  Few are surprised by any of this.  Billions and billions literally lost in Iraq.  Corrupt contractors.  Insider trading galore.  Stealing.  Embezzeling. You name the corruption and there are thousands and thousands doing it.  Sadly, few get caught.

America is doomed.
