It’s almost as bizarre as it sounds. Who could believe that someone would try to sell a Senate seat? A senate seat that belongs to a recently elected President of the United States. And, not just a President-elect, but a President-elect who happens to be the first African-American elected to hold that office.
Now, how insane or plain pompous can anyone be to think that they can sell a United States senate seat? I must admit, that when I first heard that the governor of Illinois had been accused of doing such, I thought that it was a joke. A bad joke nonetheless. Something of that sort, you’d expect to find in emails that only crooks could make up.
When you think Alaska’s Governor Palin putting the governor’s plane on Ebay, now it would not surprise me if this guy tried to sell the vacant US senate seat on Ebay. Sounds ridiculous? Nothing does after this scandal. It is so outrageous that it is comical. When a governor attempts to sell a United States senate seat; that, has go to be the mother of all political corruptions. No stained blue dress, no Watergate tapes, no Katrina or frozen money could possibly top this one. This governor’s reported actions make President Nixon look like a pussycat; the states of New Jersey and Louisiana can claim to be transparent states. As a matter of fact, both those states now can be absolved. Just imagine how a powerful individual you must be, when you hold a United States Senate seat in your hands and auction it.
Really now, does the public need to ask the governor to resign? Shame.
The federal government has had to step in and hand out money to keep private institutions afloat, broke companies fail to see that flying in private jets is excessive and is bad PR, people are losing their homes left and right, consumption is so excessive that people can’t pay their bills, young girls walk around barely dressed, there is extreme level of violence in many of our cities, there is a high level of high school drop out, politicians hide money in freezers, These excesses are alarming.
Where did morality go?
