In my case, while I didn't like his attitudes on guns, I especially detest him for his "free rides on public transit for senior citizens" law. I work for one of Chicago's public transit agencies, and we had finally started pulling ourselves together financially after much political flak, frayed nerves and denigration in the press. With that little stunt, he put us right back in the hole. :fl

When you've gone from worrying about your job to breathing a big sigh of relief, only to find yourself right back where you started so fast it makes your head snap, for the sake of cheap political points, it's hard not to feel some schadenfreude.

Mom always told me that if I couldn't say anything nice then I shouldn't say anything at all .... well .... a .... mmmm .... he has a nice head of hair.

Re: Illinois Governor Arrested...
 

He is an absolute buffoon. Not just corrupt, but stupid and corrupt.

Re: Illinois Governor Arrested...
 

His greatest show of stupidity? That he actually thinks he is smarter than all the rest of us. :2

Re: Illinois Governor Arrested...
 

What i dont get is why he still continued to use and talk on his office phone about the Obama seat.

Did he not take time to think about using a private line or something other than his OFFICE PHONE! Gosh, im glad this friggin crook got nailed!

Re: Illinois Governor Arrested...
 

Wow,,,another crooked politician! Color me surprised.

:tpd:

I'll never forget when he first got elected. He said something to the effect that he had a "hunk a hunk a burnin' love" for Illinois. My mom, who was standing next to me and is normally pretty reserved, turns to me, looks me dead in the eye and says, "Oh my G-d, we have a f***ing elvis as govenor"

I've never looked at her in quite the same way since :r:r:r:r:r

Re: Illinois Governor Arrested...
 

Chicago and Ill. are corrupt? You coulda knocked me over with a feather:)

Isn't Jesse Jackson in Chicago? Perhaps he could do a "laying on of hands" on the gov. Oh, no, forget that. He got in a bit of trouble for that, didn't he.

Maybe we can get the Rev. Wright to pray for the governor. Yeah, that's the ticket.

What does having such a boob for governor say about Illinois voters (both dead and alive)?

thanks tom, i think that says it all

Re: Illinois Governor Arrested...
 

In that vein he reminds me of 1988 Presidential candidate Gary Hart, who effectively dared the press to follow him around, and they did...right to the Washington flat where he was shacking with Donna Rice.

Nothing like watching an arrogant person engineer their own destruction! :D

At least the Reds won that year.
Gambling in baseball, and to imagine Pete Rose wasn't involved.:D

It's gotta suck having the FBI at your door at 6 am with handcuffs waiting to haul you out into the cold.:(

Last night was the first I knew of this guy, but he really comes across as a smug prick.

We get so used to hearing about "Politician A", "Government Official B" and now "Senate Candidate 5" we may actually elect someone with those names one day.

Campaign commercial could be like the Pepsi Taste Taste.

"Let's see which politician the citizens think has less corruption..Politician A or Politician B."

Obama is calling for Guv Rod to resign.

Re: Illinois Governor Arrested...
 

Sure ain't in Obama's interest for this to linger while Rod stays in office. Wonder if Rohm will make it through this without getting any on him.
