Nailing him will make it three for three of Il governors won’t it?

Baraq’s political schoolyard sure has turned out some great role models for his tutoring...

Three? Wonder if you could use RICO on the state?

Not quite, 2 for 2. Jim Edgar, the Republican Governor before Ryan was pretty decent. Left the state with a surplus, did some good stuff AND had a high approval rating. He wasn’t scandal-ridden. I met him briefly because I worked for the medical team at the time who was taking care of his cardiac problems. Very nice and personable, even when he didn’t feel so hot.

Nope 3 out of 5. Edger was probably honest, but had a heart attack and didn't run for reelection.

Thompson was most certainly a RINO crook, but was smart enough to not get caught.

I was joking when I took my son to the capital in Springfield last year that the should paint orange jumpsuits over their portraits.

No, two for two. Jim Edgar had a scandal taint his administration some, but he was never in danger of any charges.
