Zorn on Blago

In a profile of Blagojevich in last February's Chicago Magazine, writer David Bernstein reported:

Privately, a few people who know the governor describe him as a "sociopath," and they insist they're not using hyperbole. State representative Joe Lyons, a fellow Democrat from Chicago, told reporters that Blagojevich was a "madman" and "insane."

That struck me at the time, as over the top. Today it strikes me as brave and prescient.

FWIW, a friend of mine who works in Springfield said, in March of 2006 when Designated Phokkface was running for re-erection, that, if re-erectorated, nobody in Springfield expected him to make it through an entire second term.

But who knew it would be this classy?
