RIP Dan Rostenkowski

This is not the week to be an ex-Congresscritter who had a fondness for cutting corners to get paid.

Not sure why crooks need to 'rest in peace'.

Rosty was one of kind. He knew how to work the political machine in Chicago and in Congress.

Blago couldn't hold his jock.

Blago's jury is still out.

If he avoids the can, he wins.

If he does, he can thank Sam Adam Jr. for the histrionics. Blago will be the first (?) Illinois governor to escape jail time if that happens.

I'm holding out hope for him to head to the hoosegow.
