When she was our Senator, prior to Peter Fitzgerald beating her, we called her Carol Mostly Fraud. She has quite the (un)distinguished record.
Wasn’t she turfed out of office for (among other things) taking her boyfriend on an African vacation at taxpayer’s expense? Illinois politics just get dirtier and dirtier.
Which is exactly why she might be a good choice.
She's a stupid woman who will not be a danger in the Senate insofar as steering bad legislation, etc.
No one takes her seriously.
