That's what he gets for being direct. Why didn't he just take the money under the table like every other politician?

[purveyor of truth]

Makes you wonder who and what doesnt get caught in politics.

[Ferrus]

Yes, sly breifcase action would've been more advisable.

[Promethean]

I was just so stunned when I hered this, just couldn't believe it. I mean Illinois is such a bastion of righteousness. For God's sake the Messiah himself comes from there. At least all the fallen maintain the glory of our Savior and have attested that he has no clue how Chicago politics work. Thank you oh Lord for you ignorant Son.

Exactly. When I saw the item "Senate Seat, Illinois - (used)" on eBay, I thought it was a joke.

[Thevenin]

I didn't know the Illinois governor was such a moron. This one was easier to catch than the last one who went to prison.

It's what all the cool kids are doing, like Ted Stevens of Alaska and "Dollar Bill" Jefferson of Louisiana, who kept his cash in a fridge. I mean, what's cooler than Alaska and a fridge?

He doesn't know you don't talk on the phones?!

Word on the street is you don't even talk with your cellphone turned on in your pocket. Like, if you're trying to subvert the government. (no article to link)

i also read that he has no problems with people wanting to openly listen to his conversations and spying on him.
