Chicago has been notorious for corruption since before Mrs. O'Leary's cow. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the cow started the fire to hide evidence of bribery in the dairy industry.The drama continues today with Senator Roland Burris, appointed to his current position by the now-impeached Governor Rod Blagojevich, failing to disclose contacts with Blagojevich's brother to a Illinois House panel. Turns out that the brother asked Burris to raise some money for Blago and Burris tried. (Link to story here.) Some would read that as trying to buy a Senate seat.
The only thing worse than Chicago's National League baseball team is its politics. The place is a political cesspool.
And, oh yeah, the people of the United States elected a Chicago politician to the presidency. That was smart.
