Then we have another Chicago ghetto thug and former Panther Bobby Rush. At this rate, it seems only a matter of time before Southside of Chicago newspaper boys start getting indicted. It is only fair since Governor Quinnochio seems ready to make reservations at Club Fed. If Blago got 14 years for trying to sell a US Senate seat for a mere million or two. What will federal judges have in store for Quinnochio who is suspected of creating an "anti-street crime initiative in Chicago near election time in 2010 for $50 million plus. No one can find legitimate expenditures relating to the program and the funds were apparently distributed to ward heelers as "walkin' around money."
Illinois is where our governors need several qualifications. One is the ability to fashion license plates for the motor vehicle division of the Secretary of State's office. Another is availability for a multi-decade federal all-expense paid vacation in, ummm, somewhat confined circumstances. Blago is in Supermax in Colorado, still impersonating Elvis and Al Capone, no doubt. Illinois politics is more fun than a barrel of monkeys because one barrel won't be sufficient to accommodate the available, ummm, talent.
The following governors have done hard time in the federal hoosegow in the last 50 years: Otto Kerner (of pecksniff Kerner Report fame), Walkin' Dan Walker who would clean up (chuckle) Illinois politics or so he said, Lyin' George Ryan, the only GOP convict in the group (took payoffs as Secretary of State before becoming Governor), Blagojevich who tried to sell Obozo's Senate seat. We will probably never know how many state offices he sold. It is not true that he was jailed for dressing and pomading his hair like a low-grade pimp. If Big Jim Thompson had not been US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, would he have been indicted? Maybe not but he ate up fourteen years as governor and then he did represent Lyin' Ryan with all appropriate tears and flapdoodle. In the early 1920s, a governor named Len Small was acquitted by a jury, eight of whose members received state jobs shortly after the acquittal.
Meanwhile Mayor Rahmfather as he is known locally has an approval rate south of 30% and the apparently Marxist teacher's union president, a black woman named Karen Lewis ready to run against him on the basis that Rahm won't pay teachers even more loot as Chicago is headed for status as Detroit South.
\ I honestly wonder how communism and its close relatives made such a foothold in the Chicago ghetto compared to most big cities. Valerie Jarrett moved to Chicago from Tennessee BTW. They had Harold Washington as mayor until his death.
We should support statehood for Chicago. Its US Senators would be called Comrade but the remainder of Illinois might well elect Ted Cruz clones. Our governor, Quinnochio, carried about four counties while losing more than a hundred counties in 2010 but carried Crook County by such a margin as to win nonetheless.
The Chicago cemetery-American community was particularly instrumental in his victory. No doubt all deceased GOP presidents from Lincoln to Reagan are now Democrat voters in Chicago. If you visit San Francisco, you want to see the Golden Gate Bridge, New York City the Statue of Liberty.
If you visit Chicago, you want to go in the closing stages of an important election campaign. Then you can experience Chicago Underground as Hizzoner da Mare rallies the dead to vote absentee. Chicago leaders are dedicated to eradicating voting rights suppression of the necro-Americans. Mere death is no excuse for depriving them of their voting rights. There are possibilities here for a new updated Chicago musical.

Yeah, and his brother was a crummy relief pitcher for the Yankees.
