Rod Blagojevich (D)

[Urbane Guerrilla]

I'm laying a little stress on the man's party because numerous major newspapers and television news operations both local and national have apparently been at pains to omit or muffle any mention he's a Democrat. This reticence likely would not be the case were he a Republican, as previous scandals show. The vast majority of journalism-school grads, their professors, and working journalists are of the Democratic persuasion, and heavily support Democratic candidates. To put it mildly, they are suspected of a systemic bias in favor of the Democratic Party. It does seem there are too few Republicans in the news media, let alone Libertarians.

So, we do what we can to correct these little imbalances and lapses. And we smile. Schadenfreude, Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium...
