He was always nuts. Thompson asked Bill to be the attorney for his release. When Bill explained the conflict of interest, Thompson still insisted. That was when Bill resigned from The Il.

His wife is a wonderful and sweet lady. <br /><br />Many of my firends put up with the Gulag purges of his administration. A close firend discovered the corrupption in George's office and tried to report it to him. He was not only fired but driven out of Illinois. <br /><br />We all have our view of George and his trial. I think the trial stunk to the high heavens. I think the judge was as intectually corrupt as the prosecutors. I think he was unfairly convicted and should be released. <br /><br />But never, never, never tell me what a great old guy George is or was. He was the same corrupt politician that has infested Illinois since Abe Lincoln left town. He sealed his own fate when he pardoned the likes of Harold Brisbane and others to save his own skin.mikeyb1952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978152.post-44411163512454934122009-05-19T05:12:00.000-07:002009-05-19T05:12:00.000-07:00Pat
