I know Illinois holds the title of State with the Most Corrupt Governors, but between Patterson, Spitzer and now Cuomo, New York is making a run for it. Every single one of them had serious ethics investigations focusing on them and interfered with investigations.

The hot NY political buzz is prez wannabe Andy Cuomo is considering Massachsetts Gov Deval Patrick as his running mate.

Gov Deval is trying to up his name recognition, hoping to score brownie points with Cuomo.

Here, vice-president hopeful Deval applauds at the installation
of the state's new police chief---wearing her Commandant Herman

I’m shocked, speechless, gobsmacked, shaken, disillusioned,
gamey, downtrodden, spiritless, crestfallen, bewildered, overcome, desultory, disappointed, listless and sullened.

Words just cannot begin to describe my shock at this turn of events...

If you read that, you begin to wonder who of us little people stand a chance. These big SOB’s definitely need a lesson by lead. The US attorney seems heroic. Here, in Philadelphia, a number of politicians were recorded accepting bribes, but our state AG excused them. The BLACK US Attorney General wanted them hung for their crimes but I guess it’s all hung up now. Two systems of justice, two systems of governance. What does that spell? Fascism.
