And George Ryan’s a Republican. Sort of a big so-what there. Neither party has a monopoly on corruption. Kind of tough to screech ‘DEMOCRAT’ and not sound kind of silly, what with Ryan sitting in prison.

(Coincidentally, the only governor in Illinois in the last – what – decade that isn’t in jail.) Jim, unfortunately, isn’t coming back to politics. He was a great governor though.

This will be all over the news, at least in Illinois, for some time. It was (and still is) when George Ryan, a REPUBLICAN (sorry! I just had to!) was indicted for the same thing – dirty politics.

We in Illinois have a long history of mostly Republican governors, some good, some bad, and I have no doubt in my mind that the next governor will be a Republican, so sit tight.

Rod is like the George W. Bush of Illinois – such a low approval rating that there is almost no chance for his party to get into his office come the next election (or sooner, as in this case.) Even without this indictment, we all knew that the next governor would be a Republican. As long as it isn’t Alan Keyes. (Seriously Republican Party of Illinois? WHY? I get that he has his own politics, and his own beliefs, but they in no way represent the majority of Illinois. But that’s a rant for another time.)

You and I differ on our political standings, you swing firmly right, while I swing all over the place depending on the office, but I think we can both agree that the sooner this man is out of office, the better for Illinois.

(Good gravy that was a long comment!)
