Just like Portland's current mayoral scandal, not to mention our past senatorial scandal, it seems like Illinois' new junior senator is in trouble. And not necessarily for what he did, but for lying about it.
First, "I never talked about fundraising for Blagojevich".
Then, "We talked about it, but I refused."
Today: "Well, I did try to raise money for him, but I didn't succeed."
God help us if this guy gets reelected. Politicians never learn from Jerry Springer's example. If caught doing something bad, admit it, apologize and move on. Trying to cover it up just makes it worse in the end.

Totally agreed! Be up front, honest, and tell the whole story. And don't try and hide the truth, because it will make you look very bad when it surfaces regardless.
