too little, too late

How rich is this? Now that the MSM secured Obama's place as president-elect, the Associated Press tells us that Obama has "questionable associations."

Rod Blogojevich
Tony Rezko
Jesse Jackson
Mayor Daley
Rashid Khalidi
Rahm Emmanuel
William Ayers
Emil Jones
Reverend Wright
Reverend Phleger
David Axelrod
Louis Farrakhan

But Obama's not corrupt...No way! How could you ever draw that conclusion? He's totally clean! He swam in the cesspool but he never got dirty. Yeah, that makes total sense.

I wonder what the going rate is for a United States Senate seat?
