Chicago columnist Dennis Byrne: "So, do the rest of you now have some idea of the depth of corruption in Chicago and Illinois, and why some of us were so concerned about electing a president who emerges from this cesspool?...Brazen, appalling , unbelievable, they say. But for those of us who have spent a lifetime covering the news here, it's how it works."
columnist Rich Galen: "Reality check: The chances of House Democrats opening an ethics investigation into either (the junior Jesse) Jackson's or (Rahm) Emanuel's involvement ( in the 'Blago' scandal) is exactly zero. Ethics. Democrats. Say that three times fast."
ABC news 20/20 anchor John Stossel: "[Illinois Gov. Rod] Blago.. allegedly assumed someone would be willing to pay dearly to be a U.S. senator. I'm sure he was right. But if government were less important in our lives, politicians would have fewer goodies to trade. In return, we'd have more money and more freedom. That's one more reason to limit government power."
