Good riddens to him. I hope you get the books thrown at hard. Adios cucaracha! This is what you get for pardoning all death row inmates in 2003. Karma works in strange ways.

No doubt some IDIOT freepers from outside Illinois will proclaim George Ryan is innoncent and a victim of "Patrick Fitzgerald's partisan kangaroo court" SOLELY because the scumbag RINO has an "R" next to their name

The irony of course, is that the only one who's "partisan" is them.

Shrink the power of the government of Ollinois and then criminals like these men won't be created.

"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, and needless to say I am disappointed in the outcome," the former governor said.

Translation: "Who cares if I ran the state as if it were my own property for my personal gain? Who cares if I ignored whatever laws I didn't like? And who cares if 6 kids that belonged to some little preacher and his wife died because I sold a truck-driving license to someone who never shoulda had one? Laws are for the little people, not really important honchos like me."

>>At 72, if he can stretch out his appeal long enough he'll never have to serve a day.<<

Under our two-tiered "justice" system, he'd not serve a day, if he were 52. He's one of the boys.

You hit it right on the head flaglady. Even though the party is in shambles, it should have been be a slam dunk to oust Blago. All the Repubs needed is a decent candidate. Didn't happen.

It's an interesting parallel to Arkansas in the late 80's. Clinton was a joke, but he had his eye on a higher prize. The people from Arkansas just couldn't believe the rest of the country could be so stupid.

Could history repeat?

I'm glad you're around to set the facts straight, which was impossible to do a few short years ago, before the net...They just are finding the hiding of the truth nearly impossible....

drew international praise when he commuted the sentences of everyone on Illinois' death row

And that's just the start of the list of his many crimes.

He's a Republican but you already knew that before you asked.
