Blago was associated with Valerie Jarret and BHO, so much so, Blago attempted to subpoena President Obama in his defense. Blago claimed the POTUS knew all about it and it was SOP.
Cool story. How is the act of a sitting governor of a state related to the corruption in a city? Did the City of Chicago force the governor of Illinois to sell his senate seat?
The entirety of Illinois is corrupt; it's not just Chicago. Springfield is a hot mess and has been since I was a kid. They don't need Chicago's help to be corrupt.
Why are all the Gods such vicious cunts? Where's the God of tits and wine?
Why do people jump to the defense of the indefensible, and then claim they aren't defending it?

How could that work ?
Blago was born and raised in Chicago, represented Cook county under a corrupt Daley for 6 years, Represented the North Side of Chicago for a decade, then became governor.
All of Blago's ties are to Chicago, and Chicago corruption.

If you are approaching it from a, "I learned how to do this in trade school," point of view, yes, sure, why not.
So, by that logic, when a chef who went to culinary school 30 years ago, creates some new and fantastic way to prep food, the credit goes to the culinary school?

Yeah, Blago is the first corrupt politician in Chicago
Dude, wtf?
So are the schools you went to responsible for your behavior in everything you do? I'm trying to understand how the City of Chicago is to blame for the action of a governor?
Anyway, this is a ridiculously small point to make. I'm not discarding the corruption in Chicago. Chicagoans are taught this at a young age. That doesn't make the corruption in Springfield less bad. The action he took as a representative of the state is his to own. You can't throw any ole' corrupt politician in Chicago to prison for what the governor did.
So, I guess I don't get what your point is.

Philadelphia is not responsible for all Cheese Steaks...................... Chicago Politics doesn't need to be specifically practiced in Chicago, and the City of Chicago is not necessarily responsible.
Springfield is a completely different system of corruption from Chicago.
Also, Obama was more a swamp creature of Springfield. He has personal and intellectual ties in a Chicago, but the Chicago system has to do with aldermen and the mayor's office. Springfield in some ways is a much bigger game.
