I know Blagojevich is a crook. I hate to think that the BoA episode was just a "stunt."

But even if it was, I still applaud it. The "democrats" in Congress did nothing to ensure that banks would use our hundreds of billions to loosen credit markets. Standing for a union and against a corporate banking monster is a laudable act for any politician, regardless of motive.
