Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich: People Don't Care About Corruption

Eric Zorn of The Chicago Tribune reports on Rod Blagojevich's response to whether people care about corruption and Tony Rezko:

There is a bigger issue, and it could suggest maybe why those newspapers are gettin' skinnier and skinnier . Because these guys like to write about stuff that don’t really matter to people....

If they want to see their newspaper get a little thicker and have more people read it, they ought to write about stuff that people care about and that actually matters to them, not all this baloney that they think sells newspapers but at the end of the day just turn things off ...

You guys will have a thicker newspaper and people will watch your TV shows more on the news if you actually put some news on there that impacts and matters to people.

We must admit Rod Blagojevich is on to something when it comes to Illinois voters.In Illinois,even politicians who are life long friends of Mob bookies can be elected Governor.
