Senator Mark Kirk--Illinois' Big Mistake

Illinois is kind of famous for its political mistakes, but Mark Kirk is one of the worst.

Seth Rogan nailed him when he posed for a publicity shot but didn't stop to hear him talk.

Mark Kirk is gung ho on getting militarily involved in the Middle East. You can bet that none of his family will have to face the consequences.
Here are his top contributing industries:
Securities & Investment $1,799,447 $1,731,047 $68,400
Retired $1,346,505 $1,346,505 $0
Lawyers/Law Firms $832,864 $767,925 $64,939
Pro-Israel $689,960 $573,056 $116,904
Health Professionals $665,263 $331,213

I hope that Illinois Democrats will run a strong candidate to oppose him I the next election.
