Granted there is the possibility that Blago has committed a crime and should not get away with it, nor should Norm Coleman. Nevertheless, others who certainly are deserving of prosecution gets a free pass.

If anything, he was more likely to reward malfeasance and incompetence, as exemplified by his gifting of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Tenet, L. Paul Bremer and Gen. Tommy Franks, three of the most culpable stooges of the Iraq fiasco....
