President Bill Clinton granted 396 pardons out of 2,001 requests and granted 61 commutations out of more than 5,400 requests......$$$$ / terrorists' vote(s), for pardons....is more like it.

There’s Global Crossing and Ullico...

Ex-Governor to Look Into Union Stock Deal
(Fox to guard chicken coop)

The board of Ullico, a union-owned insurance company, has named James R. Thompson, the former Illinois governor, to investigate the private sale of company stock that resulted in big profits for its directors.

For decades, Ullico’s stock price was set at $25, but the stock price soared after Ullico became one of the original investors in Global Crossing, investing $7.6 million. When Global Crossing shares were at their peak, Ullico’s holdings were worth $2.1 billion, almost a dozen times Ullico’s value when the company purchased the Global stock two years earlier.

Then there’s Hollinger International...

Conrad Black and three others are on trial for looting their company, Hollinger, of some $80 million; Thompson sat on the board. Here are stories from Bloomberg and the Chicago Tribune.

Thompson told jurors that because he “skimmed” Hollinger’s financial statements while running the company’s audit committee he didn’t notice the questionable payments he approved. “I should have read them word for word. I didn’t,”

George Ryan had an “R” to his name on the ballot and he was ELECTABLE in Illinois. According to some, that’s the only thing that matters, right? Where’s the “vote RINO” crowd to tell us how much “better” things are thanks to Ryan winning? Imagine what would have happened if “the Democrats” had won those elections!

The families of the victims of those that you took off Death Row want you to rot in hell,Mr Ryan.
