The corruption in Chicago politics is insane. Even after being indicted and/or convicted of felonies, some politicians there get easily voted back into office. I think maybe voters in Chicago are finally fed up; I'm not seeing a lot of supportive comments and excuses for Jr. in the news comments this time out.
It would be great if Jr.'s latest scandal prompted another look at campaign finance reform legislation across the board, but not holding my breath.
This isn't a new cartoon, but it's funny to look back on it now.
