Blagojevich Has Company With FCC's Kevin Martin

Certainly the news of the day here in American politics was the arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. He certainly deserves all that's coming his way, that's for sure. Of course, the Republicans were hurt that the corrupt Governor was hogging all the media, so one of their own had to grab some of the spotlight for himself and show that yes, the GOP is the still the leader when it comes to corruption and scandal.

From The Washington Post:

A year-long Congressional investigation of Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin J. Martin found "egregious abuses of power," though it was unclear whether the nation's top telecommunications regulator broke any rules or laws during his leadership.

The report released today on the probe, titled "Deception and Distrust" and led by Reps. John D. Dingell (D-Mich.), Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, found Martin suppressed information and manipulated data to serve his agenda.

Alright, so he won't be going to jail for his misdeeds, but on quick notice, the GOP had to offer up what they had. And to be fair, the investigators in this case are Democrats, but the deception and distrust was all bred right in the Republican-dominated FCC.
