Who wants to move to Ill-Annoy?

I understand Illinois's governor is a HUGE fan of Elvis and likes to do his impression. I can't wait to see his rendition of "Jail House Rock."

As breathtaking as the scandal to sell Barack Obama's senate seat is...I have a very hard time finding outrage over it. Its like raising a child you refuse to potty train, their filth inevitably gets all over the place, because they don't know its gross and you never told them otherwise (try asking a grumpy Illinoisan "who pissed in your Cheerios?"....they'll probably give you an answer).

I feel like this is just the way it is in the state of Illinois, the rules don't apply there, not one. Pronounce "Illinois"...even phonics get ostracized in that state.

This begs the question:

Did Governor Rod Blagojevich (I Googled the name, I had to) really do anything bad since he lives in a state that doesn't know the difference between right and wrong?

Look, when four of the last 8 governors get busted and/or go to prison for criminal activity, isn't it possible that you don't know any better and that you merely think the office you occupy has a reputation to uphold?

I don' t really want to get long winded on this subject...everyone knows this guy belongs in the slammer, but considering Chicago is home to Oprah, the Cubs, and deep dish pizza during an obesity epidemic, its hard to make the case that "Blago" isn't entitled to an adequate defense.

People who forgo presidential debates because everything they need to learn about the man they voted for is in a one syllable bumper sticker with a Che-esque design need to realize that their dude was born and raised in that cess pool. Unfortunately they wouldn't even know what you're talking about, because the only time they tune in to the news is when Stephen Colbert is giving it.
