So what’s really up with some of our Governors? I’m making a list and checking it twice and have realized that in the past five years we’ve had an overabundance of distractions in Governor Mansions throughout the U.S.
Of course we have some really great Governors as well.
First and foremost we have Gangster Governor Rod Blagojevich – Chicago’s own Al Capone would be proud. I don’t know what to say that hasn’t been said about Blagojevich this past week. Gangster Blagojevich’s antics are way too rich and splendiferous to be called typical. My personal belief is that he is egotistical to the point of stupid. All eyes have been on President-elect Obama and Chicago these past several weeks so Blagoidiot made a decision to sell Obama’s vacant seat while he himself is being investigated by the FBI? Insanity. Ludicrous. Stupid.
Today for the first time we hear from former Illinois Governor George Ryan, 74, who is seeking early release from a 6 ½ year prison sentence from President Bush. Ryan wrote a three page apologia where he tells the people of Illinois that “I want to make things right in my heart, with God, with my family and with those that I have hurt.” Ryan, a Republican, was convicted of corruption in 2006 for a racketeering fraud scheme and is serving a 6½-year sentence.
