Anyone interested in the George Ryan story should watch the clip of Carol Marin’s interview w/ Scott Fawell and his squeeze from tonite’s Chicago Tonite: http://www.wttw.com/main.taf?p=42,8,8&vid=082609y
This brings back all the questions of what is politics and what is government and where are the lines. That discussion has been lost w/ the total political and governmental incompetence of Blago. But w/ Ryan there was a serious debate lost on where has the line shifted w/in the criminalization of politics and the redefinition of ethics. Fawell was the downfall of Ryan and Ryan was the ghost of politics past and Patricks Fitzgerald/Collins were/are the ghosts of politics/government future. Discuss….

Dennis, do you have any thoughts about the new entry into the senate race, the Chicago inspector general Hoffman?

look at the Fawell Interview, he was the most ruthless political in State politics in the 90’s….Ryan finally saw it pushed him out but it was too late…Fawell had been so ruthless during his short time as chief of staff and campaign director that he ruined Ryan’s career…Ryan had many accomplishment over his time in state public office…Fawell thinks he can reinvent himself and redefine history well…too many of us remember how mean spirited he was….let the debate begin
