So, on TV today, an Illinois government official claimed shock and awe at the egregious acts of the governor, claiming they had no idea this kind of behavior was going on. Here's my problem with this. If you read the transcripts that have been released, no one who the governor is having these meetings with is yelling out, "Holy crap! You're a freakin' pyscho! Are you seriously trying to bribe me? Who do you think you are?!?!" It makes me wonder if these acts are as rare in government as I'd like to believe.
