#2 A federal jury convicted former Gov. George Ryan today on all charges that as secretary of state he steered state business to cronies in return for vacations, gifts and other benefits for himself and his family

.... but this is the way we've always done it.

#3 "I believe this decision today is not in accordance with the kind of public service that I provided to the people of Illinois over 40 years, and needless to say I am disappointed in the outcome," the former governor said.

Yeah, George, what's the world coming to? Forty years on the government tit and a guys not even allowed to make a coupla hundred grand on the side?
Ungrateful bastards!

#4 "CULTURE OF CORRUPTION" Anyone? Oh but that term is reserved for for un-convicted Republicans and not convicted Demoncrats.

#5 CS - Ryan is a Republican. Although you had to read to the tenth paragraph in the AP story to find that out. Don't know why they didn't stick to the story line.

#6 Well, now he'll have his chance for kinky sex™. Not that he'll like it.

Google the reasons for his divorce from Jeri "7 of 9" Ryan. Definitely NSFW.

#7 And the odds are none of this would of ever come out if the majority of a family hadn't burned to death on I-94 in Milwaukee when some scrap fell off of a truck driven by one of the "qualified" truck drivers who got his ticket through the scam. Of course I am not shocked that Ryan was even mildly crooked. I assume that ALL politicians in the Land of Lincoln are. But the good news is they are getting closer and closer to Lil Richie Daley
