Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Illinois governors... |
|
what a goof ball Blagojevich is...
What goes on in Illinois state politics that they've sent 8 governors to the governor's mansion with 4 of them going on to serve an additional "term" in the "big" house...

2. It's just a technicality, but Blago's wife doesn't like the Governor's Mansion, |
|
or downstate Illinois, for that matter. So, he's never lived there.

I don't know why we're so plagued with crooks, maybe it goes back to the Al Capone days. In any case I liked Rep. Jack Franks quote about it this morning:
"Our duty is to clean up the mess and stop the freak show that has become our government." Freak show pretty well sums it up.

4. As someone, maybe Keith O., noted -- an Illinois guv is more likely to go to jail ... |

than a murderer. Not that you should let your babies grow up to be murderers, either.
