If I remember, Bill seemed to have similar deficiencies.

What makes me mad is Fitzgerald doing what he did throws bad light on a case
currently being procecuted by him in Illinois, aka Gov. Ryan. Does that
mean the George Ryan case is also supported by such threadbare evidence?
How about the building cases against various members of the *** II Dailey
administration in Chicago and the smoldering embers of the Blagojevich
governor***? (It can't be governorship, because he doesn't really govern.)
