LOL - you can’t get worse than this. I’ve lived all my life in this ridiculous district:

That district looks like a child drew it up. It looks like it is about 5 miles across, if nnot les.

That's Illinois-17, designed to help a certain minority population. Let's put it this way: that district went to Obama 56%-42%. The "neighboring" 18th District went to McCain 50%-48% (and he sucked as a candidate, as we all know). The 18th went for Bush in '04 by 58%-42%, while the 17th went for Kerry that year. Ahhh, the wonders of gerrymandering...
