Saving Governor Ryan from the shame and castigation he so richly deserves would just not be right. Today, as the worst governor in Illinois history leaves office--ethical scandals, corruption, failure to execute justice on all convicted murderers--let's give Loathsome George an appropriate send-off.

Take your pic and caption it.

I can't wait to ask my friend in Decatur how far this senile old man has set back the Republican party there.

Hall of Shamer Nullin' Ryan throws out the first murderer.

The pictures of the former governor with Jackson persuade me that Ryan did this more for himself than he did for the condemned prisoners. With the possible exeception of Jimmy Carter there is likely no man drawing breath today more utterly convinced of his own essential goodness and decency that Ryan. Make no mistake about it: there are enormous psychic advantages to his actions--but only if he can bask in the very public praise of the liberal media and the dominent liberal culture in which he moves.

He looks incompetent to me. As in, legally incompetent. This crap needs to be reversed pronto.

(Inner thought by George Ryan)---"I sure hope that by giving life sentences to so many guilty Death Row prisoners and releasing those 4 other guys, that this keeps me from being gang raped in prison next year!"

[swheats]

I have a question. How many of the attorneys that got a death penalty conviction were later disbarred or suspended? How many of the judges were removed or suspended or penalized in some way in these convictions? An outsider looking in on this thinks he made a very hard, wise decision, especially in this climate of fingerpointing and blame.

The next governor, to save his butt, would be placing blame on Ryan for not doing anything about a system that was broken.

Walk a day in my shoes, then we'll talk.

"Terrorist" Executioner Ryan?

Good riddance, George. Don’t let the door hit you.

George Ryan has done something I never would have thought possible. That being, that I am actually glad to see a republican (Ryan) replaced by an incoming democrat.

This guy could even beat Bloomberg and Jeffords out for the Worst RINO. What a pile of steaming &#%$

[MissAmericanPie]

He looks as power mad as Nero. I usually try to respect my elders but this guy stinks. I blame the Republican party for pushing these RINO's to the front of the party.

People are looking for a change, the country is moving right, I'm sure politicians will be the last to know.
