I read a story that had the statement that "His sentence is the longest of any Illinois Governor." I just found it funny that there have been enough to even compare. Originally Posted by IMGreat101

He's gonna spend his time in prison luxury style in a minimum security prison. Big screen TV's and bathrobes...
But the guy selling meth on the streets gets 30 days in County and probation and the wife beater gets 10 days with an NCO....."Fear not the night. Fear that which walks the night.
