When I saw the headline, I was still thinking of that awful old “Republican” George Ryan. I could never remember the spelling and pronounciation of this one. IL voters have again proven they are not too sharp in choosing their “leaders”.

This scumbag has a 4% approval rating in Illinois and yet the state gave Hussein 70% of the vote.Are the voters of IL schizophrenic or something?

Illinois now has more politicians in jail or headed for jail than New Jersey. They are a real model for governing the rest of the country! What we need is a president from Illinois.

Daley and Obama have got to be soiling their underwear right now. I wonder how fast this bakelite-haired fraud will be willing to rat out his buddies to get a deal.

If Obama gives him a hurry-up pardon upon taking office, I think we will know...
