Former IL gov. George Ryan.
After more than five months of sometimes complicated testimony in his federal case, and after five weeks of still more tangled deliberations, a jury convicted Mr. Ryan, a Republican, of granting state business to associates in exchange for cash and presents for himself, his family and for his friends.
He faces a sentence of up to 20 years for racketeering, the most serious of the charges brought against him.
That's just the tip of the iceberg for Republican corruption in this country. Read the article, it keeps getting better. Oh, and who was the prosecutor? FITZ!!!!!
On a side note, I will be out of the country on work for the next two weeks, and I'll probably have a cheney-load of it, so posting will be sporadic at best.
