I thought the 17th Amendment was passed to end that practice.
Also, I remember seeing an old political cartoon that said "put a million in the slot and get a senatorship" but I have a hard time finding it on the Internet.
Is it bad that I get my all my news from TASVideos?
That quite depends. You could either be classified as an always-online-gaming-addict who doesn't care about anything else or a (politcally) ignorant American. Pick which stereotype suits you best or feel free to enragedly object, if you like. ;)
Plenty the former, and plenty the latter if we designate it as politically *apathetic*.
In all seriousness, many times when I hear news on television I have to go look up objective sources online to correct the media's obscured portrayal of events. The American news stations probably contribute greatly to the ignorant American stereotype.

I decided to refer to the queen of online full-page headlines.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL-2), son of infamous race-baiter and former Presidential candidate Rev. Jesse Jackson (D-SC).
Oh yeah, I should have posted this classic lyric that encapulates what Blagojevich should have been thinking:
Federal agents mad cause I'm flagrant
Tap my cell and the phone in the basement
"A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding." - Marshall McLuhan
The man was a genius for a reason.
