Corruption? In Illinois politics? Impossible you say??
For those of you unaware, there is a large land mass that exists between Los Angeles and New York. In this area, we have divisions called “states”. One of those “states” is called Illinois. Here is it’s story.
Illinois’ Mafia boss, umm, I mean former Governor and Secretary of State, George H. Ryan, was just indicted on oh, about 22 counts. They included conspiracy, racketeering and tax fraud.
Apparently these so-called “crimes”, also known as “daily operations” to most politicians, are illegal to perform. I mean don’t they write the laws? You would think they would put in provisions so that they wouldn’t have to abide by them.
Mr. Ryan is up for the Nobel Peace Prize for emptying the Illinois Death Row. He has also now won the Blatti.net Assclown of the week award. Congratulations. Here’s to you Mr. Corrupt Politician.
