Sort of off the "gun" topic but goes to the overall state of the union.
Did anyone else, while watching all the bowl games, feel a connection between selling the bowl games (ATT Cotton Bowl, the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl, FedEx Orange Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl, etc.) AND selling a Senatorial appointment?
Yeah, I know the difference, but at some level, the bowl games "sold out" just the same. Sort of a state of union that says anything is for sale. Nothing is pure anymore.
What I mean is that it's not all that surprising about the Illinois Governor. And not just because he's from Illinois either.
And, to bring it back on topic, Obama is in it for Obama. He'll sell out to. Just ask the gay rights activists. He's already "smacked" them in the face. Our turn is coming.
