Christmas is an extremely dishonest time of year - we greet each other with "Merry Christmas" and extol the "Christmas Spirit." The truth is one in ten of us are out of a job and the other nine are scared to death. I'm stressed out about shopping and bills. I don't know how this is going to end.
So I think that is what galls us so much about Blago. He is the hypocrite's hypocrite. He lies as a first option, not a last resort. He was elected to root out the corrupt state government and restore honor to the gov-ship of Illinois after the Ryan debacle. Instead he's just as sleazy.
That actually makes him worse because not only did he rip us off, he played holier than thou while he was doing it by differentiating himself from the other crooks. Kind of like an anti-gay congressman being caught in a men's room stall.
It just seems particularly bad at Christmas.
