re: #602 Honorary Yooper
Some do hold a candle very well to them, most of them being from Illinois. Ray LaHood (R-Cellini) comes to mind. It is strongly suspected that Obama chose LaHood for his connections to the concrete and asphalt lobbies in Illinois (which includes one William Cellini, now indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald).
fer crying out loud.
What is it about Illinois and political corruption? It’s so entrenched that it’s completely bi-partisan.
