I remember when Lyin' Ryan was running against Glenn Poshard for governer. Poshard was an old fashioned prolife Democrat (don't remember them?) but he was from downstate.
Ryan got tons of the liberal single-issue Democrats to vote for him, even though everyone knew he was disgusting, dishonest, and corrupt, just because he was thoroughly proabortion. Gawd, I wish the whole RoevWade thing never happened.
This was the same cycle that Al Salvi ran. The libs hated him because he was progun, but after election he turned into a gun grabber. He's now respected for his growth.
This won't affect Illinois at all. When Chicago alderman Larry Bloom, the moral conscience of the Dems, went to the big house, no one even noticed or cared. Who remembers or cares about Otto Kerner (of the Kerner Commission) or Dan Walker?
dangit what did I miss last night? I saw the last half, not the first (Sopranos)
I think we should also give credit where credit is due to the US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald who is putting a lot of these crooked Illinois politicians in jail
Sir, your arrogant demeanor isn't going to do you any favors on this one for now YOU are not making the decisions.
That's right. Without Fitzgerald, or someone like him, none of this would have happened. Guaranteed.
How's that for a politician's view of life? "heck, I commuted all those death sentences and all you postal workers on the jury STILL convicted me?!?!
It's the forty years of public service that positioned him for this corruption!
These politicians never cease to amaze me.
"I believe this decision today is not in accordance with the kind of public service that I provided to the people of Illinois over 40 years
This verdict greatly pleases me as he will now be sent to the place in which he tried to send honest people.
Fitzgerald botched up the Libby case mate. Knowing that Joe Wilson and Plame were drunk and telling their neighbors at Parties she was an agent, negates Fitz' case. Why did he bother with an indictment? Wilson is a hack.
He richly deserves this verdict. It's not going to help us much with the "culture of corruption" mantra that the Dems have been singing, though.
True, they're focusing more on a national level, but all this noise gets absorbed by those who don't follow politics as closely as we do.
As most lifer politicians, he toted an attitude of exemption from prosecution as proved by his arrogant statement referencing his 40 years of service.
I wonder if he is toting a bullet proof vest yet?
Ryan deserves all he gets. I jusy wish more of these crroks were prosecuted & did time.
You missed one half hour of homo advocacy, and an anti-bush tirade.
This scum-bag was the last straw that broke the ILL GOP. I hope he rots. He is the ONLY Republican I refused to vote for in my life.
In Illinois we live in a Kleptocracy. There isn't a lick of difference between the Democrats and the Republicans except that the Democrats can actually win an election once in a while.
Are there any honest politicians in Chicago?
Edwin Edwards, the 4 term RAT Governor of Louisiana is currently serving time in a Fed Prison in Fort Worth.
Wow flaglady. Couldn't have said it any better! KUDOS. Illinois republican politics is a VERY bad joke and all of us having to live in this place will have to suffer for it some more.
That is exactly why he did that.
