| Description | If there is a silver lining to the demise of Jack Ryan’s campaign for the U.S. Senate, it is that the nation learned something that the locals have known for awhile about the so-called leadership of the Republican Party in Illinois-namely, that it's embarrassing.
When they're not busy practicing their rank political incompetence, they're providing tepid defenses of shady dealings and even shadier characters. And the "they" I am specifically talking about are State GOP Chairman Judy Baar Topinka and GOP National Committeeman Bob Kjellander.
Unfortunately, however, they are not the only ones who should be outfitted with seltzer bottles and cream pies as opposed to positions of leadership in Illinois politics.
The conservative "movement" in Illinois is not substantially better organized or more effective than the party "leadership" with whom they are at war. |
