I love you and this post so much. I gotta respect that about Chicago. There is a difference between being corrupt and being bad at your job because of it and then being corrupt to get shit done with a little leftover for you at the end of the day.

:-D Thanks! I was just getting all annoyed with all people who're like "What's wrong with Illinois"? They don't really get the mentality here, I don't think. Punks!

:-D Thanks! I wish the rest of the country could just understand it, get off their silly high horses, and laugh at Blagojevich with us. (Not everyone needs to off course, I think Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have it just right. :-DD)

well, I'm not trying to claim that this is a good system, I'm just trying to explain- everyone is all "why are people in Illinois so dumb, they elected this guy twice" and I'm trying to explain, we know he was corrupt and in general we didn't give a shit, this is why. Y'know?

IT'S TRUE, OBAMA IS MORE EVIL THAN ANYYYYYONE

I dunno, even knowing they were corrupt? I feel like most of the examples are like, of Nixon and whatever when no-one thought he had any problems until it came out that he did. Am I missing a president?
