Not So Fast On the Governor Schadenfreude
A few posts below this one, I take a little glee in the corruption of Virginia's governor, because I'm sick and tired of hearing all of my out-of-state friends and relatives (including those in Virginia) making fun of our oft-jailed governors. That glee only lasted about 2 1/2 hours.
Then I saw this: Poll: Illinois Governor Pat Quinn ‘Most Unpopular’ Governor In The Nation. His approval rating is only 25 percent. Those are Dick Cheney-esque numbers.
Even the guy (allegedly) taking bribes in Virginia is more popular than our governor.
Schadenfreude is a dish best not served.
