THE GRASP OF A CHILD

If a picture can be worth a thousand words, surely that of Rod Blagojevich's 8 year old daughter valiantly trying to pull her daddy away from one last anonymous political handshake represents a thousand heartaches. If federal prisoner 40892-424 can summon the wisdom, he should cut out that Tribune photo and tape it to his Big House cell. Then he should study it every one of the 4,380 days he's likely to spend there to remind him of the wreckage his insatiable lust for political power at the expense of himself, his family and the Illinois taxpayers has caused.
