“Whoop-dee-doo. When Howard Dean was governor of Vermont he would help friends and relatives hand-dig secret graves out by the Montpelier Race Track.”

Josh Galloway,

“Since he abolished the death penalty, he should’ve committed a capital crime too, just as a final ‘fuck you’ to the state.”

Vicki Umbehaun,
Pharmacist
“It’s a sad day in this country when an Illinois politician can’t get away with a little racketeering and fraud anymore.”
