One of the news channels said at the very least he should be indicted for stupidity. KNowing he was under investigation, knowing that he HAD to be bugged, most of his associates convicted, indicted or under investigation and he STILL carries on these conversations.

In Illinois, there really isn't anybody else to answer to...including the inferred politician...our government has been run by the same cluster of families and power brokers for decades...and i've only lived here for 10 years!

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.

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.
