10/18/ 02

The *Crintons supposedly come from Arkansas. They get a head start.

Wisconsin is still dusting off felonies that haven't been seen in decades.

Cally gets even closer to the Chicoms - just because of the earthquakes.

New Joisey? Fegedaboudid...

The *Crintons supposedly come from New York. Uh, oh.

I believe Maryland is the worst. Anything that rubs them wrong emotionally gets banned.

OK.
First RI wins on length of corruption, dating back to the 1600's where neighboring states ordered their men to shoot on sight.

Second, County? The only purpose for county gumint here is to put the in-laws and nephews who are too incompetent to even watch others do highway pick up. It has no power at all. No juristiction except for dumb relative employment.

City; Mayor Buddy Cianci, twice convicted felon,(one violent, one RICO) will be re-elected in a land slide when he gets out.

His replacement, the gay communist will mess things up so bad the people will probably storm the Bastile to free Buddy to save them. After all, with Buddy, a bribe worth ten percent of the annual salary will get you any job from dog catcher to police captain.

School committee. Ferrel of Cumberland, forces kids in school to wear uniforms, which is really just to dress exactly like her child, the drug dealer truant who keeps getting kicked out of school.Maybe to make it harder to pick him out of the police lineup.

Governor DiPrete, who runs his insurance business from jail and has weekends off.

Senator- The senator from Virginia, Lincoln the Commie Chafee.
Congressman, The boy congressman Patches Lithium Kennedy.

Speaker of the House Hardwood, elected by Mount Hope Cemetary to the most powerful position in the state.
A Clinton clone.

I used to correspond with Peter Mulhern ("Peter from Annapolis," on Rush's show), who wrote for the late, lamented Washington Weekly. He absolutely agreed about Maryland being the cesspool of politics.

Does anybody know where Peter is or what he's doing these days? Is he writing for any publication?

I'll ask around and see if anyone knows the whereabouts of Peter.

Here in New York, the Dems have controlled the Assembly and the RINOs have controlled the Senate since the early 60s. A cozy relationship exists between the two bodies as each side divides up pork and draws up districts to protect incumbency. We have several cases where RINO State Senators endorse Dem candidates for the State Assembly and vice versa. This has not been helped by the fact that for much of the last century (and on into the current one), New York has been governed by Dem Socialists (Hugh Carey being the only fiscally conservative Dem I can think of) and RINOs (think Tom Dewey, Nelson Rockefeller and George Pataki). Government grows bigger and bigger each year and fights over the budget (this state has NEVER in my lifetime submitted a budget by the deadline) have less to do with the size of it than "who gets what share of the pie." Of course there are NO term limits in New York either.

As far as out and out corruption goes, however, I'd say that New Jersey and Connecticut are far worse than New York. Outside of my area, however, I would say that the Banana Republic of Louisiana takes the cake.

Deepest Darkest Broward County, Florida.

Ah, Broward. Home of more nudie bars, massage parlors, sleazy nightclubs and glorified housing projects known as condos (Cemetary Village anyone?) per capita than anywhere else in the state. Not to mention that most Broward Cops are rejects from New Jersey who fled said state due to corruption investigations.

You want a cop in Broward? Call the local massage parlor! --- Clemenza, who lived in Palm Beach and Dade, avoiding the County in between.

"There's no contest here! New Jersey! Have you all forgotten the absolutely brazen, no shame, slap in the face to The Rule of Law, decision given by the NJSC in the case of Torricelli/Forrester?"

I have to vote for New Jersey as the most corrupt. I mean, you name the crime and they have it.

NO NO, wait. Here in IL we've had the most corrupt REPUBLICAN (i'm embarrassed to say) governor EVER - in fact, he may be the most corrupt governor, ever, of either party here in IL. Every one of his cronies were indicted and either convicted or have yet to be convicted (hopefully) of selling drivers licenses to unfit haulers, for bribes, and this has been responsible for multiple deaths on IL highways due to drivers who couldn't control their rigs and who killed and killed and killed.

Then of course, we have Mayor Daley in Chicago, who has to be the absolute characature of a sleazeball. The Chicago aldermen/women just voted for slavery reparations. The gubernatorial race is between an honest guy (Jim Ryan - no relations George Ryan - our current criminal governor) and Rod Blagoyavich - I call him bag'oshits (as do many) - he's as corrupt as they come. Young, sort of handsome (altho not to this lady's eye) and so tied in with the Chicago demo corruption that we are doomed to be run by special interests yet again here in IL.

Durbin, who never met a republican that he liked, is due to be re-elected as senator. So I think, by virtue of the fact that we've returned to Al Capone politics and criminality here in IL, WE deserve to be known as the most corrupt state in the Union.

You forgot to add that Ft. Lauderdale (Broward County) is the home of the Florida Attorney General, Robert Butterworth and two of his most corrupt Florida Assistant Attorney General's Scott Masel (head of the Civil Div.) and Cecile Dykas (head of the Criminal Div.) operating out of the FL. Attorney General's office in Ft. Lauderdale.

I didnt read them all so i dont know if it was already said.

But here in Connecticut we got some very corrupt leaders.

We have a tax and spend liberal for Governor (Rowland), who is actually a big wig in the Republican Party but no one will sponsor him on a national scale cuz and he got arrested for beating his wife a few years ago. When he was elected all the media outlets applied for a freedom of information act on his arrest form, but the Judge denied it. All the people who were involved in the decision to cover it up all got high paying government jobs after that. The fear is that if he gets a national position, that the media will again try to open the case up on him, and it will no longer be possible to cover. (This kind of an Urban Legend i guess, it hasnt been proven false but nobody knows for sure and everyone talks about it.)

He is also squandering all of our taxes away on some Grandiose Shopping Center/Amusement Park called Adrians Landing which is supposed to turn Hartford, probably one of the most run down cities in this country, into some kind of booming metropolis.

The Mayor of Waterbury was arrested for having sexual relations with a 13 year old.

The mayor of Bridgeport is was arrested for various charges, Bribery, Racketeering, Extortion, Wire Fraud, Imbezzlement. He basically looted the town treasury until it became bankrupt.

And the mayor of my town of Rocky Hill, I swear has ties to the Mafia.

And we have Lieberman and Dodd, need i say more?

You guys are lucky cuz you actually have a Republican candidate to vote for. Here in CT, we have only have a Democratic Party, just some of them like to call themselves Republicans.

Don't forget Massport and the subsequent lax security at Logan airport. We all know what that led to...

I'm from New Jersey. Every single person in this state is corrupt. The governor, our senators, the Democrats, the Republicans, the Greens, the Libertarians.

The birds sing stolen songs, the dogs dig up each other's bones, and the infants want hugs so they can lift your wallet.

Down Right Poetic, dead!
