...And he would be the fourth of the last eight Illinois governors to be convicted felons.

Walker has to be considered 1 of the 4. Dan Walker did not get convicted for anything he did in office.

It ain’t just Chicago and Illinois.
In 1974 a friend of mine from Brooklyn, N.Y. worked with me at the Pentagon.
I asked him waht he was going to do when he got out of the Army?
John Pondoliano told me he was trying to raise $32.000.00, the money would be used to buy or bribe his way on to the N.Y. Police force. Said he’d have job security for life and he would be able to make that back in no time.

Illinois is corrupt because it is a one-party state. Period.

“But Barack is Black and Cute! That’s all that matters!”

While rolling over in his grave, Abe Lincoln was heard to say,

"Blago's a TYPICAL corrupt Illinois Democrat."

There is absolutely no way anyone in this country can plead ignorance of how corrupt Chicago politicians are.

They are corrupt. They are all criminals. Nothing they do surprises anyone who's ever taken a look at the place more than a second.

Compounding the problems you normally run into with a crooked politician, the Chicago politicians are also inherently evil. Their support of abortion and commercial trade in human embryos arises out of their interest in seeing people die, and the more who die, the more they love it.

If they could they'd sell their grandmothers, their own children, their wives, their brothers and sisters, into slavery.

Correction ~ the article says “There’s no evidence...”. It should say “No one has yet publicly reported evidence....”

[ScottinVA]

“appears to have stunned the nation”

Not really. People expect that kind of activity from Illinois. This is nothing new — I’m surprised it took this long with Blago.

[TexasCajun]

Even old-time Louisiana politics don't come close to the ongoing Chicago & Illinois corruption.

Pelican State ping

After reading this column, Louisiana may not be the most corrupt state in the Union.

At least in Puerto Rico, Governor Acevedo was spared some embarrassment when he was allowed to turn himself in and be arraigned without handcuffs. The feds were not as generous to the Governor of Illinois.

[subterfuge]

There's no evidence to link President-elect Barack Obama to the latest scandal

Not directly. Not yet. But obama is directly linked to the CRIMINAL Blago.

[Clintonfatigued]

Other states notorious for corruption include New Jersey and West Virginia.

[Mamzelle]

Someone put me up to speed—is Gov Ryan, in gail, a Dem or a Pub?

[FreeKeys]

There's no evidence to link President-elect Barack Obama to the latest scandal

Oh really? Well then, what do you call this? --
“They’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation,” the governor says, as outlined in the criminal complaint.

Now HOW do you think he found THAT out????????

Helllloooooooo?????

[NOBAMA in 08]

Is anybody stupid enough to believe ZERO HUSSEIN when he claims no knowledge of the corruption going on in Chicago?
ZERO HUSSEIN would have to be dumber than a Rock and Blinder than a Worm and totally Deafer than a Doornail to NOT KNOW AND NOT BE A PLAYER in the CORRUPTION AND DECAY OF THE CHICAGO CESSPOOL!
