Hastert to plead guilty in hush money case.

Are there any decent IL politicians aside from our good friend, muon2?

Ever read up on this guy?  His story is arguably the most colorful in the long, glorious history of Illinois politicians' entrepreneurial spirit. It's always been a race for number one in the corruption category between Illinois, NY, and Louisiana, although LA seems to be losing some of its je ne sais qua in this regard of late. So that leaves my state and Muon2's in the running now for the top spot. In recent times, NY has temporarily spurted ahead actually, with your state of PA, come to think of it, making a move too.

Yep, Corbett especially put away a lot of pols for a long time.......of course I don't know if he was squeaky clean himself.  He's my neighbor though.......so I like him.

We don't want PA catching up, somebody will end up shooting themselves in the face on live TV again.

Our Attorney General is the only one on a seat that hot.  Hope she likes prison food.
