That Guy on 24 January 2009
Where's the pressure coming from? The Blagojevich guy didn't accept bribes because he was poor. He was soliticing bribes because he was a douchebag. That's apples to oranges.
Barack Obama is freezing the 100+k salaries of white house staff already. Are they going to be accepting bribes?
Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing the same thing and not accepting his governor's salary. No one else in California is being pressured into not accepting their salaries, and I'm pretty sure Arnold isn't tempted into taking bribes.
