When It Mattered
In general, I have no sympathy for crooked pols, and I am not proud of Gov. Ryan nor do I condone his behavior. I am glad “Duke” Cunningham is going to rot away in jail, and I eagerly await Tom DeLay’s comeuppance when that happens. But for Gov. Ryan, I am sad, and a good part of me hopes he gets a lenient sentence. His suspension of the death penalty in Illinois, IMHO, outweighs anything else he may have done short of rape and murder. Some of you may say his death penalty act was a political maneuver- I don’t care. It was the right thing to do, he [took] a lot of crap from his own party for it, and when I think of Gov. Ryan in the future, that is what I will try to remember about him- that even as a flawed man, he did the right thing when it mattered.
My sentiments exactly.
