Anyway, Blogojevich is a possibility (you know, I'm not sure if I spelled that right, and I don't care).
What kind of dumb ass -- accused of trying to sell a Senate seat -- then goes on to appoint someone to that Senate seat. Regardless of how great the guy appointed is, the whole thing is tainted. Mother Theresa would be tainted by a Blogojappointment.
I'm going to say taint again: taint. taint. taint. taint. It's a terrible word, and the best one out there to describe this situation.
Good luck getting this appointment through the Senate confirmation process.
