Oh happy day! There is much rejoicing in the great state of Illinois! Now he can keep our last Governor company in prison. Not so smug anymore, is he?

Hey stranger yourself! I noticed you have a new clip on YouTube but I haven't seen it yet.

I'm curious to know the personal reasons (other than the fact that he's corrupt).

My sister and I were talking about this last night, and he said that with the Tony Rezko scandal going on, you'd think the Governor would lay low with the corruption, but now, he had to get greedy. It was almost as if he were daring the Feds to catch him. Well, they did. Good for us!

Now if only we could catch Daley...

It's quite refreshing to know that sometimes they get caught, and do time for it!
