If it were not for crooks Congress could not maintain +/- 535 members and most other government entities would be barely populated. Congress, who else can declare war and set their own salaries. Okay, never mind.

Presidential pardons….there’s another misused but well intentioned executive power, by all who have used it.

If the FBI had the manpower and investigated Illinois politicians, there would be a huge number of arrests from the Governor on down to precinct captains. The state of Illinois with Cook County being the epicenter is probably the most politically crooked state in the Union from top to bottom with Louisiana probably coming in a far distant second.

Perri, one will never know how many Illinois-based favors Obama has to make good ever since his political career was started under the wing of other well-known Crook County…er…Cook County politicians firmly entrenched in the Crook County (there I go again)…er…Cook County political machine. Obama was mentored by some of the most crooked political hacks known in Illinois.

A thought: can a state government be found to be so corrupt that it gets federalized until proper crooks replace the crooked crooks?

Somebody on the radio suggested that this is the first in a long line of potential pardons in the offing from the President Elect from Chicago…

Of course after Blagojevich said “F*** Obama” maybe it won’t happen.
