There were no 'flyin' misunderstandings with Rove. He was 'measuring' the ability of Fitzgerald to obtain the truth before he went completely 'belly up.'
So, this time, the Republicans are using 'media influence,' no different than with Spitzer to force the political CHOICE of the people out of office. Spitzer won his election with nearly 60% of the popular vote, yet, the 'Feds' played the game so poorly it actually looked as though Eliot would be doing jail time under, of all things, THE MANN ACT. I frequently question who really paid the prostitute more money, Bush/RNC (same thing) or Eliot?
Rod didn't do a darn thing wrong, yet, idiot Democrats within the Illiniois legislature will 'play the populous' game because they are scared to stand up for what it right. The media in Illiniois has every elected official running scared and the biggest fool to date has been the Illinois Attorney General.
There is ABSOLUTELY no substance to this case and yet every idiot that is afraid of his own shadow for any re-election or plans in displacing the Governor in the next election will oppose his status as an ELECTED Governor of the people. They are all fools and I enjoy that fact beyond any imagination !
The 'assessment release' by the Obama Transition Team showed absolutely no 'pay to play' and if the Illiniois Governor was looking for a position on the Cabinet than that is PURE ambition and nothing more. Why shouldn't he seek to be ambitious? Additionally, that 'ambition' LACKS motivation to corruption. The more ambitious Rod was the more reason for him to remain 'squeeky' clean regardless of the verbal horseplay within the Illinois Policial Culture.
He and his attorney have every right to ask any committee seeking to displace an elected Governor to subpeona anyone that can cast light on Rod's innocense. There was no verbal exchange EVEN WITH Valerie Jarrett who was a heart beat away from the 'status' of Senator.
Additionally, Eliot Spitzer should be suing for 'Wrongful Prosecution.' The way Republicans JUSTIFY disassembling government infrastructure in favor of privatized business, is to make it appear 'though hubris' as if its incompetent to have a government that is expensive and unable to protect the interest of the people. It is an intricate 'approach' to ridding million/billionaires of government expense while a 'fatigued' public consents to it through elections.
I've had enough to the 'idiot' political games that cost the country some of the best talent in our country.
Quite possibly the ONLY difference is the fact Rod Blagojevich is a Democrat. He stands for the wrong things and backs unions and the middle class. I guess that warrants a 'hounding' that carries 'pretend' charges at the level of US Attorney.

Illinois Republicans Seek Return To Power (click title to entry - thank you)
by Cheryl Corley
NPR.org, December 25, 2008 · Shortly after Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested — accused of scheming to sell the state's vacant Senate seat, formerly held by President-elect Barack Obama, to the highest bidder — Illinois Republicans started running an ad on cable television.
The ad urges voters to call state lawmakers to push for a special election to fill the vacant Senate seat. "You deserve to be heard. You deserve a special election," it says.
Before the Blagojevich scandal, any chance of a Republican capturing the vacated seat was a long shot because it was up to Blagojevich, a Democrat, to appoint someone to it. As calls for the governor to resign grew, Democrats backed a special election but decided against it, saying, among other things, that it would be too costly. That set off a howl from angry Illinois Senate Republicans Christine Radogno and Matt Murphy....
At a brief news conference in Springfield (click here), Governor Rod Blagojevich's hair announced that it intends to challenge the governor for the state's highest office. In a shocking revelation, Blagojevich's hair revealed that it would be running for the Republican nomination. Developing.
