You never hear them say Bobby Jindal is engaging in Louisiana style politics.
Well, considering Jindal's claim to fame is brand new ethics laws everywhere to clean sh**t up...yeah.
Chicago is just a city in America where governance has often been corrupt. FFS, look at Roland Burris (who replaced Obama). And of course, Blagojevich and then that Republican governor who was just corrupt. IL is well known for its corruption. And although Obama never really engaged in the mass corruption himself, he never really opposed it. Just something he tolerated and worked around on his path to the White House. Which is pretty telling, but not as entirely damning as some may think.
Burris was a nincompoop, but the two governors you mentioned weren't Chicago, but downstate and suburbs.
