Governor finally gets what he needs: a weekend
By Eric Krol and Rob Olmstead Daily Herald Staff Writer
The first topic was a Daily Herald story that showed Blagojevich voted in 1999 as a congressman against a measure that would have banned the sale of violent video games to minors. Despite that vote, the governor last month started a push to do just that.
Blagojevich said he voted against the 1999 measure, which was sponsored by Republican Congressman Henry Hyde of Wood Dale, "because it was a Trojan horse, it was phony reform" that "let the video game industry off the hook."
When asked why, Blagojevich initially stammered and invited Deputy Gov. Bradley Tusk to the podium to explain. Tusk said the Hyde measure, which among other things would have slapped store clerks that sold violent video games to minors younger than 18 with a five-year prison term, didn't provide any method of enforcement.
Doesn't make too much sense to me, but read the entire article, maybe you'll have better luck:
