This joke from Kathryn Jean Lopez says basically everything you need to know about the right and ethics scandals:
This Illinois Senate-seat news is outrageous and shameful. That said, it warms my heart. Finally, a political scandal you can talk to your children about. No room at the Mayflower. No myspace page. No Gay-American announcement. Just good and evil and money and power corrupting.Rod Blagojevich tried to sell a senate seat, tried to pressure a newspaper into firing editors that have gave him unfavorable coverage, and sold valuable government contracts and appointments to cronies, but at least he didn't get caught doing something that had to do with sex, which would have been really embarrassing.
