Buy Obama's Senate Seat on eBay?
In reaction to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's mind-boggling betrayal of public trust and human decency, a bunch of Internet jokesters flocked to eBay to post offers to sell president-elect Barack Obama's senate seat. Several offers were on eBay within hours of the breaking scandal. One offer for a "used Illinois Senate seat, all wood and leather," even received a bid for $99,999,999.00.
Of course, almost as quickly as the mock auctions were put up, they were pulled down, thus proving that eBay has no sense of humor. Perhaps Blagojevich should have beat everyone to the punch and taken a card from the Sarah Palin playbook and just listed the seat on eBay himself. [From: CBS News]

With the amount of money candidates are spending on running for office, I wonder how much a Senate seat would have fetched. Kinda makes me wish the feds hadn't caught Blagojevich for a few more months.
