M2, you wrote- "I've not seen you express any outrage over Gov. Blagojevich - does he get a pass because he is a democrat?" I can't speak for Mike, but you haven't seen anyone else here express outrage over Blago. And what's the point in doing so? His actions didn't lead to or are likely to lead to a global financial meltdown or the equivalent. And it was the same with Senator Stevens, even though he was a national figure - no outrage expressed over that in here as well. You are fishing up the wrong stream, but then again, I can see why the Bush backers would be looking to pin anything on the other side considering the horrid state of affairs that his administration is leaving this country in. Maybe I'm being too practical, but I more measure deeds based on their outcomes whereas guys like you measure it on principles. So yeah, in principle, Blago's deed was much more reprehensible, but in terms of outcome it didn't bring down an otherwise healthy economy to its knees, nor would it likely do so in the future. craig
