'The corrupt bipartisan Combine that runs this state'
A reminder that demolition of our one-party state won’t necessarily lead to bi-partisan bliss. … Picture a vibrant Republican party run by Paul Cellucci and Jane Swift facing off against a Democratic party led by Sal DiMasi and Dianne Wilkerson, multiply the hackerama and grand-jury intensity by a factor of about five, and you have a rough idea about how the bi-partisan dynamics work in Illinois. … How Obama got out of the local swamp with minimal slime on him, I don’t know. As I’ve said before, Gov. Patrick’s whining of late perhaps can be tied to a belief that we have nothing to whine about compared to Illinois. Just a psychological guess, mind you. … First link via Glenn.
Update - 12.02.08 -- Mark Brown weighs in on the call to pardon former Illinois Gov. George Ryan. ... Just pointing it out. I love Illinois politics.
