Four of Illinois' past seven governors have ended up in a federal Graybar Hotel....Rod Blagojevich (corruption), George Ryan (racketeering), Dan Walker (bank fraud) and Otto Kerner (bribery).

The upside is that at Illinois has always had good state's attorneys....and at least they indict, prosecute and imprison crooked governors. One reason is that there is quite a number of genuine watchdog and good-government groups around the state.....particularly in and around Chicago and Cook County.

All this is indicative of where and how community organizer Barack Obama learned his political trade, i.e., the ins-and-outs of hard-ball Democrat machine politics....except that his presidential corruption is smoother, more refined, more sophisticated, more hidden and more covered-up than that of the inept gubernatorial foursome that ended up in the slammer.
