Self Serving Apology

  • In a statement read by his attorney, convicted former Gov. George Ryan this afternoon said he felt guilty and offered a "truly heartfelt apology to the people of Illinois."

    "I want to make things right in my heart with God, with my family and with those that I have hurt," said the statement, which was read by former Gov. Jim Thompson at a news conference held at Thompson's Chicago law offices.
There's that "god" thing again. Blago and Ryan both imploring the Almighty to forgive them for assorted sins of hubris, arrogance and theft among the more egregious transgressions. Anything to be forgiven by Him will no doubt be addressed at the Pearly Gates. In the mean time, Ryan owes The People five-and-a-half more years of road cleaning, license plate making, or whatever it is Federal convicts do nowadays. And Blago's up for at least the same.

Dear ROD-

Yes, God will forgive you of your sins, that your repent of. BUT God will also tell you that there are consequences for your actions. Those consequences will probably land you in prison.

A Copper who reads his bible.

(BTW Rod- You will probably be a grandfather before you get outta jail!)

Our prayers go out to the family of those who lost their beloved children due to the greed of former governor Ryan, Dick Durbin, you are a disgusting asshat. I am ashamed to admit that I am from Illinois when I travel and talk to the members of our Armed Services. How can you even fathom asking for a pardon for Ryan, , ,It is obvious . . . you all slept in the same bed. . .

So, I see Jim Thompson on TV the other day, and he seems sort of pissed and frustrated!

He says something like...George Ryans chances of being granted a pardon or clemency have been hurt by the arrest and subsequent revelations of Gov Blago's political "crime spree".

Now, Jim Thompson wants us to believe that after all this time, Ryan wants to apologize!!!

STFU, you arrogant a**hole!

His poor wife who's so sad and and sickly huh? Yet she gets driven to the prison to visit his thieving, crooked, murdering ass every time she wants to go see him by her daughters. Unlike those old sick women who wait in parking lots on the side of the expressway (and have been for twenty or thirty years) to climb on greyhound buses to take four or five hour rides to visit their sons or husbands in prisons. They have to pay for the rides and nobody gives a shit if they are sickly or if their loved ones are sorry. Some of them, in fact most of them didn't do half of what that asshole did. Fuck him and her. Retired copper

His apology came off at the very least self serving and in doing so, I heard the words "occurred on my watch" then I changed the channel and turned my thought to how I can't understand how the fbi or fitzy can't nail the disshevled one? Hired truck, Sorich, didn't both occur on the marble mouths watch. WTF! Just a thought, but I'm thinking that old man Daley must have imparted some federal secrets, something like kennedy assasination consiracy type of knowledge that the cocksucker daley could use to trump any charge. Dunno, it has to literally be dumb luck that the LiL Dick hasn't gotten caught up???? Maybe fitzy is gonna give us a christmas present after all. You know how feebs do. Like a day before your birthday ........ ha you dirty cocksucker blowjobowich...... making sure that his only gift are heart palipitations and bail.

how about an apology to the willis family while he is at it. the people of illinois are used to being screwed around. what are the odds in vegas that the next gov of illinois will be disgraced and end up in the pen. chicago has become a "training district" for the fbi.

Thompson should get a Tony award for acting like he believed any of this shit. He's just hoping Ryan stays clammed up or croaks before
rolling over on "Big Jim".

Holy It's a Wonderful Life Batman!!!

It seems so strange that less people find god in a church then most prisoners in jail. Perhaps if they held themselves to higher standards and blame others less they might avoid the wrath of god altogether?

Jesus' would say it is better to be poor then wealthy. I agree... it is better to be poor, free and happy then it is to be unhealthy in a unfriendly jail.

This is a curious phenomenon.

Finding more of god in prison and less in a churches. Perhaps our vast community of South and West side reverends could explain this paradox?

Hopefully the Blago situation will nix any chance that Ryan had to be pardoned. When shit stinks this bad, NO ONE wants to step in it...even an outgoing president.

Ryan should have to all the years from the POS murders he released. Ryan and Blago are just the tip of all the corruption in Chicago and Springfield.

I wonder how the Citizens of Illinois, Crook County and Chicago can take back control of THEIR government because using the ballot box is not working.

Still trying to figure out how the Toddler got elected.

Speaking of license plate manufacturing, could there be any connection between our history of incarcerating governors and the letter I got in the mail from Sec State saying that there may be defects in the paint on my plate?

You just can't get a decent day's work out of any of these guys.

Hey George, Blow Me.

You self serving, self aggrandizing POS.

People died as a direct result of your actions and that is all you can come up with?

You can die in prison like all those old Mafia guys did.

Hey that brought back memories. Do those babies, mamas and grandmas and grandpas, etc still all gather at places like the s/w corner of 87th or 79th and the Dan Ryan Exp waiting for the bus's to take them to various's prison's & visit all their loved one's? Hundreds would gather there a few days per wk mostly sundays, when I always got called by some concerned shopper. I'd stay til' they all got off. A lot of sad stories. Sadder than Ryan's

the Chicagoland Pols want Ryan out cause he will soon sing to the Feds for a sentence reduction if he is stuck in there. His singing on other Chicagoland Pols will be corrburation of others flipping to the Feds also. Fitzgerald will take all these Clowns down like he did previously with the mobsters upstate.
