Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not remain free pending appeal.

George RyanFrom the Chicago Tribune:

Former Gov. George Ryan must surrender to prison early next year after a federal judge on Friday refused to let him remain free on bond while his appeal winds through court.

In a 32-page ruling issued Friday evening, U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer rejected claims by the defense that Ryan’s racketeering conviction was likely to be reversed on appeal.

Who says there’s no justice these days?

  1. No Mahkno, I don’t think so. Even prison inmates know a scum bag when they see one. The voters going to the polls this year need to be thinking about this, though. A majority of them actually voted for Ryan for Governor. What’s their excuse?

  2. Everyone, both sides – Vote for Rich Whitney.

    It’s time for a governor who won’t be sent upriver!
    A governor who has real ideas and wasn’t promoted by either the chicago or springfield political machines.
    Rich Whitney is for real!

    Thanks for allowing my plug. And no, they don’t pay me.
