Harry Reid convicts Blagojevich of corruption before trial even held

Perhaps if Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was an accused al-Qaeda terrorist, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would accord him the presumption of innocence. Instead, here's what Reid said on yesterday's "Meet the Press" --

"Blagojevich is obviously a corrupt individual. I think that's pretty clear."

This from a former trial lawyer, no less.

Sign of the times
