You know, one school of thought is that criminals make good lawmakers because they know inherently what to do to improve the situation. But the problem is, they remain criminals and put in loopholes and such that allow them to take care of themselves at the expense of the public.
I am a cynic regarding politics and politicians. but this has even me whirling.
Jackson Jr. Talked to Feds for Years, Spokesman Says - FOXNews.com Transition Tracker:
"CHICAGO -- Shortly after his 2002 election, Gov. Rod Blagojevich told Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. he didn't appoint the congressman's wife as lottery director because he had refused him a $25,000 campaign donation, a person familiar with the conversation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
'Blagojevich went out of his way to say, 'You know I was considering your wife for the lottery job and the $25,000 you didn't give me? That's why she's not getting the job,'' the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing federal investigation.
Jackson's name has played prominently ever since Blagojevich was arrested last week on corruption charges, including allegations that he tried to sell or trade President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat for personal gain."
