Oh, I thought he meant the State Government.
I don't know about La., but my home state is Il. and it was
pretty
crooked when the first Daly ran it from Chicago, and for a long
time before that. I wonder if "getting caught" is all that
separates one state
from another that way?




I always hate OT but since I grew up in IL and went to undergrad in
LA (Tulane) I couldn't resist

IL (Actually Chicago) has ALWAYS been more corrupt than LA... since
the days of Cappone and then the first mayor Daly. They were
always just much smarter about not getting caught until the more
recent years. BTW.. the city (Chicago) always runs BETTER and more
efficiently with a corrupt mayor.

Also interesting fact (I use the word fact lightly) According to
the FBI only 48% of the murderers in the US ever serve time.... in
recent history 50% of the IL Gov's will serve time.. so... you are
more likely to go to prison if you are elected as Gov of IL than if
you committ MURDER!!!!
:-)

I am glad I now live in South Florida... a beautiful little Banana
republic where we expect our politicians to be on the take.... Look
out NJ... we are coming up fast in the outer lane!!! you could be #4.

nail on head

True! I am so mortified that my proud home state of NJ is getting
eclipsed by places like Illinois.

We need a PR firm for our corruption. We need better and more
newsworthy corruption.

But how do you compete when your closest neighbor elects a governor
who made his name tracking down prostitution rings, then gets caught
in bed with a skanky $1000/hour hooker?

You could try butt****ing yourself with an electrified garden weasel on
national TV. Get back to us (tinu) when you've tried it. I'd suggest you
do so before R. Budd Dwyer[1] comes back and beats you to it.

[1] His method is a nice option for you too!
