Govenor Rod Blagojevich corrupt?

It was an unpleasant surprise this morning to watch the news. Rod Blagojevich was arrested for trying to sell the Senate seat. He was quoted to have said that he needed ....around $300,000. This is unbeleiveable! I don't think he would ruin his career on such a dumb statement. Let me hear from you! Do you believe that the Govenor is that corrupt and stupid?
