I just happened to flip over to MSNBC (shhhh, don't tell my wife) and watched Chris Matthews lead a discussion about the surprising guilty verdict in the trial of the former Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich.
Chris and his confreres were genuinely surprised and more than a bit dismayed that what Blago had been engaged in as governor even rose to the level of a crime. Journalist Eugene Robinson at one point shook his head and conceded that well, yea, it may have been a crime, but using political power in this way is really all a matter of degree.
Yep, and the degree he, and they all had in mind is the degree to which you're a conservative Republican or not.
To be honest, I thought that was the standard as well.
