What more can be said about a state where the adopted son is about to become the 45th President of the United States and the governor is the first one in the its history to be impeached. To say that I am a political junkie would be an understatement. I love this country!
Our governor has been an embarrassment since he was first elected (about the time I moved to the state and was not eligible to vote against him). His re-election coincided with my move to this area and, again, I was not able to vote against him. Never fear - the Chicago machine kicked in an granted him a state-funded job.
What can be said for a governor who (a) refuses to live in the governor's mansion, (b) doesn't work in the governor's office at the state capital, and (c) doesn't follow the rules established by other politicians. His "press conference" yesterday was one more example that he no longer (if ever) inhabits the reality shared by the rest of the world. What a guy!
On the other hand, we (the citizens of this state) have dealt with a long-running feud between the governor and the leader of the senate for more than six years. Why it has taken so long to get this creep is beyond imagination. Then again, this great state has always been noted for having one of the most corrupt political systems in the country. Maybe some real reform will come out of this situation - but don't hold your breath. The show from the sidelines is too enjoyable. Go Blago!
