Rod Should Rot

On Thursday, former Governor Rod Blagojevich was indicted. Blagojevich was charged with extortion and racketeering conspiracy, mail and wire fraud, and lying to federal investigators. The potential federal penalties? 305 years incarceration.

Allegedly, Blagojevich auctioned a senate appointment. He compensated unemployed acquaintances. He wrested public school pupils. Blagojevich ignored our principals. He violated our sacred ideals. He warrants figurative castration.
