You watch though, the Land of Lincoln will elect yet another "food stamp/welfare/section 8 backer" for governor the next election cycle. The people of Cook County just can't help themselves.

His picture needs to be in the next edition of Webster's dictionary under "douchebag."

This is the 4th Illinois governor in the past forty years who has been convicted and/or jailed. Blago follows Otto Kerner, Dan Walker, and George Ryan.

Sister-in-law, I believe, and that was the House vote.

I had a feeling I might have gotten mixed up. Thanks.
