Media Continuing To Defend Blagojevich’s Attempt To Sell A Seat In The US Senate

First it was Jim Lehrer asking “What’s the big deal” about Blago’s attempts to find a quid pro quo arrangement with Obama (or someone else willing to play ball) for making a favorable appointment to Obama’s vacated Senate seat. Now David Gregory and other media types on Meet The Press are doing the same thing:

The media defense of disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and corruption in politics continued Sunday morning as new “Meet the Press” host David Gregory, along with his guests, actually defended Blago’s actions as “pay to play” business as usual that’s just “part of the system” and “how the world works.”

What Blago attempted to do may be something that happens behind the scenes in politics a lot more than any of us realize, but does that make it right?
Shouldn’t the Governor appoint a Senator that would best represent the interests of Illinois voters and not whoever the highest bidder was?
Something tells me that these media elites wouldn’t be so cavalier about these shady political dealings if they involved Republicans.

    Blago’s actions as “pay to play” business as usual that’s just “part of the system” and “how the world works.”

    The good news; They’re going to run this guy out on a rail.

    Bad news; All the idiots who get sucked into Gregory’s, and the Medias minimalization of illegal acts commited by politicians they want in office.
    BO’s minions.

    This just proves how corrupt the media is also, this case is politics at it worst. If he would have been a republican they would have been more than happy to list his party affiliation instead of hiding the fact that he is democrat. Had he been a republican, the CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC would have had 24/7 coverage on it. There would have been stories about his grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, wife and children(if any), and his pets.

    Makes you wonder what Gregory–new to a nice plum job–would have bid for the job he got. Hmmm. Maybe he did just that. Every cushy job gets put up for bids.

    I am sure that this is not the first time that a ‘seat’ has been offered up to the highest bidder. As wrong as this is, I bet it is more the ‘norm’ than we know….

    Wonder if Dino is going to weigh in on this? Dino is proof that liberalism IS a mental disorder.
