Rod Blagojevich

Rod Blagojevich

I was rather surprised at the 14 year jail sentence handed down to Rod Blagojevich. I understand that the judge intends to make an example of politicians involved in corruption. It is unfortunate for Rod that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was not the first and will not be the last politician to get involved in corrupt activities. Should Rod to be punished ? Yes, but 15 years? I heard Dennis Miller say that they are still voting on a law in Illinois that will increase the sentence for child molesting to 10 years. What is wrong with this picture? Is government corruption a more serious offense than child molestation?
