Patrick Fitzgerald's inconvenient truths of distraction

There is not now, nor has there been for some time, any public notion that Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich is anything but a cretinous worm, besides, that is, a bumbling sociopath.

But it could also be that his archnemesis, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, has precipitously tried to break new legal ground in prosecuting the governor's durable human failings under the statutory guise of conspiracy to commit bribery and fraud.

Because, as a growing number of news analyses have recently pointed out, in the United States it is not illegal to be a moron, not even a disgracefully undisguised moron in possession of a constitutional office of former -- very former -- public trust.
