Gotta love it!

I'm sure most of you have heard this already. But this is nothing out of the ordinary, in terms of Illinois government. We're a very corrupt state.

LOL, yeah I heard about that. Couldn't help but chuckle.

Heck, one of our former governors (a real crook) is in jail!

If only national headlines revealed how things really are here, they would abolish the state's government all together!

Just saw this on World News Tonight. He is the 3rd governor to be in jail in IL?

I laughed when they played that clip of the guy saying that Abe Lincoln was probably turning in his grave. He's not just rolling in his grave. He probably rose from the dead!

<That's all I have to say.

I've never liked the guy.  He's got a 4% approval rating.  If I were him, I'd probably step down, and leave state

Despite him being a democrat, I hate him too.

So they want to remove George Ryan from the prison that he's in, to a prison that's "closer to his family and friends". Why the sympathy? He was the biggest crook of them all.

Even Dubya has a better approval rating!

Illinois=bad state for government. I really don't like Rod Blagoyovich.

[wxmediafan]

Blagojevich for future references

Illinois is not the most corrupted, believe it or not.  4 other states ranks above us.  I think Louisiana is the most corrupt, if memory from the 6 o'clock news serves me correct

I don't like him either. I also hate this state!

Here's some interesting facts:

Blago's rating:  4%.
Bush's rating: 29%.
Comcast's rating: 54%.

He needs to quit out of shame.

[tpirfan28]

Blago no more!

As if it wasn't coming anyway.
