Look to who is defending this awful pale old man and you will get a hint at who to investigate next. This won’t hurt the old guy’s chance at innocent freedom. It’s a deep-seated mindset and birthright of old line pols to get away with things. Poor old guy’s wife left him, so set him free. The kids whose parents were killed by Ryan license drivers haven’t even grown up yet. Many prominents will write letters on his behalf while they fire anyone who protests illegal activities. That’s the key…to quit gutting whistleblower laws so this nonsense doesn’t go on for so long. Right now, if you try to stop such criminality, you will be fired with no chance of fighting that. You will lose your retirement monies while the guilty keep theirs. They will try to taint your next job search while they move into an equally corrupt crony’s business dealings and continue on. Look at the list of prominents who spoke up in favor of Mike Shanahan and son avoiding true punishment that a STL paper published a couple of months ago. Kind of lets you know who to avoid if you value the law. It’s not a “mistake” guys, it’s an evil mindset. Protect your whistleblowers. Do you have the nuts to write a letter for someone who stood up for the good of the stockholders Mike that your HR minions fired? Until you do, you haven’t changed a bit. Your maker knows what you’ve been up to and how many folks this attitude has destroyed. And she ain’t happy. I bet Gary isn’t too happy either.

You have to wonder if the Blago arrest would have happened before the Presidential election would it have solidified Obama detractors who tried to claim that Obama was part of the culture of corruption of Illinois/Chicago politics. I believe he had to be influenced by all this scum and it makes me question his integrity, I hope I’m wrong. Ayers, Rezko, Jeremiah Wright now Blago. Illinois is a cess poll that can only breed bacteria. Lincoln is rolling in his grave.

Show me a teenager who is willing to work hard learning to march and/or play an instrument and I will show you a successful adult in a few years. Thanks Kids for all you do and my best wishes for an enjoyable trip to America’s capital city.

This just confirms the beliefs of Missourians who think that in order to be elected in our neighbor to the east, you have to be convicted of a crime. Its amazing that the other Ryan, that ran against Blagojevich, couldn’t stick it out regardless of the sex club allegations of his ex-wife.

What does one have to do with the other? Regardless of which political party that a governor belongs to, if you abuse your “alleged” power, you should go to jail and serve the whole sentence. Both of them knew what they were doing, but they all think that they will never get caught.

Rod will not resign immediately because that is what the prosecutors want. He will use the resignation to negotiate reduced charges and don’t think he won’t be asking for a pardon. His resignation is golden, what, do you think he’s going to give it up for nothing? I wouldn’t put it past Bush to give him the pardon or a commutation in order to end the acrimony and provide cover for the commutation to Ryan.
