Outside Reading #8: Details from Rod Blagojevich's 74-page affidavit

In CNN, there is an article about the Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, and how he is being put in jail. Rod tried to sell President-elect Barack Obama's senate seat for money. He and his chief of staff, John Harris, also are related to fraud regarding a children's hospital and the Chicago Cubs. I think this episode is going to bring a lot of attention to the politics in the U.S. ad especially in Illinois. It is going to make it very hard to trust officials because of Blagojevich's actions. These actions also represent people in this day and age. Everyone lies, cheats, or steals at one point in their life, and that is not healthy for our culture. Circumstances have gotten to be so bad that our country comes to a point where a valued official gets caught doing one of the most fraudulent things possible.
