An editorial in today’s Chicago Tribune entitled, “$10 million photo op,” says Blagojevich’s actions Tuesday were “incredibly devious, and they give legislators ample new reason not to trust anything he says or does.”
The people, too.
A Daily Herald editorial today entitled, “Wrong way to start stem cell research,” says, in part:

[R]esentment is certainly reinforced by this regrettable comment from the governor found in an Associated Press story:
“Anytime you do what is morally right… however you get there is immaterial.”
So the governor has anointed himself king. And what he has deemed to be morally right, the morally wrong shall abide by via his order. If you oppose stem cell research, because of religious beliefs, or because you think it takes life, or because you are not sure embryo cells are that much superior to umbilical cord cells in doing stem cell research, or that this might be going down a slippery slope, you’re irrelevant.

One positive that has come from all this is the press is verbalizing our points.
