"I want to make money"

A p.s. on the Gov. Blagojevich story today--yes, he's quoted on the wiretaps as saying the above quote.

But remember--that's what he said; but it's not what he meant.
He wasn't trying to sell his influence and/or the open Illinois senate seat in hopes of being able to "make money."

Instead, he wanted money, he wanted cushy jobs, handed to him.
He's not some runaway capitalist.
Instead, Rod Blagojevich is a guy who's worked in government for a long time and now wanted to use it, underhandedly, to get rich quick.
