Buying off Blagojevich

Posted by Mike | December 18, 2008 | |

Mark Brown has a good idea. Instead of suffering through months and maybe years of Blagojevich drama, why not just buy the guy off. Seriously, we can put money in escrow and create some legal contract by which GRod receives the money if and when he steps down.

    intriguing idea, but sounds like rewarding bad behavior.

    It definitely is precedent setting - but screw it, where can I deposit my $5.00 contribution? Wait…what’s that honey?…Amy’s in too, make it $10.00.

    Sure, it’s not very responsible … but then if that’s how things get done in Illinois, maybe we should get in the game?
