Video games are bad. I mean me. -Blagojevich

I honestly cannot think of anything?more unscrupulous in politics besides straight out murdering someone than trying to sell off an empty seat in the U.S. Senate.? But that’s exactly what Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was attempting to do.? Seriously. U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald called it, “truly a new low.”

If your memory can take you back a bit, this is the same guy that wanted to regulate the sell of video games because of moral concerns.

On a wire tap Blagojevich was recorded saying that the Senate seat “is a f***ing?valuable thing,?you just don’t give it away for nothing.”??Going on to say, “I’m going to keep this Senate option for me a real possibility, you know, and therefore I can drive a hard bargain. You hear what I’m saying. And if I don’t get what I want and I’m not satisfied with it, then I’ll just take the Senate seat myself.”??Additionally referring to Obama as a?”motherf***er,” saying that if “I don’t get anything,” he would not appoint a friend of the?Obama camp.? “F*** him. For nothing? F*** him.”? “They’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. F*** them.”

It’s interesting to note that one of the prime targets of his video game regulation was aimed at?the Grand Theft Auto series because the moral depravity and violence would negatively influence teenage kids.? Is it possible that maybe teenage kids are affected negatively by a politician playing the real life counter part to the dirt ball political leaders of the GTA series story lines?? Games influenceing?life?? Nope, games imitating life.
