If Republicans ever wonder about Baker and Dole telling Nixon "he's thru" and sparing the country the constitutional showdown vs the Democrats falling in line behind klinton and gearing up for a constitutional showdown - the country be damned, all they need consider is the Left is still using Nixon to smear people.

ROTFLMAO! As if half the people on this board haven't used Bill Clinton's antics to excuse George W. Bush's lies and misrepresentations! Too funny.

You've got to love that "liberal" Time. In their article about former Republican Governor George Ryan of IL being convicted, they never mention his party affiliation. But in the second sentence of the article, they mention the current Dem governor is also being investigated. So much for the supposed left wing slant of the media.

My emphasis. Link below:

"The state of Illinois, not to mention the city of Chicago, has a long-earned reputation for corruption, and it just got worse.

On Monday, former Governor George Ryan, 72, became the third of the state's last six governors to be convicted of political misdeeds, and the current administration of Democrat Rod Blagojevich is also being investigated. Ryan, who won worldwide acclaim and even a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for clearing out the state’s Death Row and putting a moratorium on executions, was found guilty of running campaigns — and government offices — like a personal piggy bank to enrich himself, family and friends. The verdict, convicting Ryan on 18 counts ranging from racketeering to mail fraud, came after five months of testimony from more than 100 witnesses, including Ryan's previously convicted former chief of staff, some 20 hours of closing arguments and nearly a month of jury deliberations."
