First Blago, then Coleman?

The FBI is investigating allegations that a prominent Coleman supported funneled $75,000 to a prominent insurance company that employs Mrs. Coleman. This investigation combined with evidence that the Senator's financial troubles had him soliciting favors from backers smell a little funny to the authorities- and good government groups.

So is it true? It surfaced before the election, died down a bit during the initial wave of the recount and now it's popped back up again. Whether that's an indication that the sharks are swimming closer to Coleman or that the mainstream media (conservatives, please insert 'liberal, communist-loving, America-hating' or whatever tired epithet you prefer) is merely redirecting the story away from Governor Blagojevich's spectacular implosion, I don't know.

But either way: it's just another example of what's wrong with politicians in this country.
