Illinois Politicians- WTF?

Honestly, what era do we live in? Is this the 20's, is Al Capone still running the city? No, we live in the information age. An age where phone conversations, photos, emails, texts, IM's and even face to face conversations can come back to haunt you. I'm paranoid enough, and nobody really cares enough about me to look into my daily affairs. Yet the state of Illinois seems to be blessed with one arrogant prick after another. Governor, senator, representative...you name it. I'm surprised the state's superintendent of education hasn't been found taking money to pass flunking children. But what really gets me is the shear stupidity and audacity of it all. Did Burris really think that accepting the nomination of a Governor in the process of being impeached was a good idea? Did he think people wouldn't look into his past donations and conversations with the Governor? Did Blago really think that denying recorded conversations on camera would make them go away? That's like being sixteen and telling your parents you weren't out drinking even though you're violently throwing up in their bathroom at 3 in the morning. OK, maybe I was guilty of this one, but I was 16. What a couple of aholes.
