Ryan is a Republican, not a "fellow Democrat".

Here is a link helping to show what a stupid mouth-breathing retard submitter is.

Voting up to provoke a greenlight.

Snug Tight: Ryan is a Republican, not a "fellow Democrat".

He converted shortly after he went to jail.

Hey, subby. You're a dumbass, by the way.

To be fair, when it was reported on Fox, he was a Democrat.

Did Gov. Walker convert too?

Do you think Blogo will convert when he's convicted?

Can we get a FAIL tag for the submitter?

To be fair, members of the Bush administration ALWAYS make that motion with their hand.

Yes, but not enough.

Well, can we just start posting pics of Jeri Ryan now?

 
TofuTheAlmighty 2008-11-25 05:32:47 PM  
Well, since Bush is gonna pardon a bunch of crooked, Republican war criminals, he may as well pardon a corrupt Democrat or two.

That was Jack Ryan, not George Ryan. They are not related. But she is hot, so post away.

Ryan is a huge farkin crook and it'd be a total shame if he was pardoned...this really takes away from my opinion of Durbin...

 
Relatively Obscure [TotalFark] 2008-11-25 05:36:40 PM  
Whenever a Republican is convicted, they somehow become Democrats. I believe that's standard reporting practice, now.

"Durbin said he is not considering asking the White House for a pardon of Ryan, only a commutation of his prison term."

Not saying I agree with it or not, just want everyone to be clear on it.

/Also named Ryan

'Course, he used to get a little somethin' somethin' from the Borg Collective, not Chicago racketeers, so I reckon he comes out ahead.

George Ryan should get a pardon. The man saved 167 lives, and basically made sure the state of Illinois would not murder anyone else for many years to come.

He's a hero.

Maybe a corrupt, somewhat sleazy hero, but still a hero.

had he not been such a perverted asshole, the rest of the country never would have heard of Obama...

He is an old man. If he doesn't get his sentence commuted, he will die in jail. I don't really care to much either way.

He also possibly caused the loss of that many lives by accepting bribes for licenses.

Wrong Ryan...there are a lot of them in Illinois (but he was a Republican, too).

But if you had to imagine a Ryan in a sex scandal, at least this isn't one that makes you want to claw your inner eye out.

FTA: He has lost the economic security, which most people count on at his age.

He lost the economic security he gained through fraud and racketeering? Stop...*sniff*...I'm getting all weepy.

Don't forget the prisons he shut down. And the corrections workers he left unemployed.

Unlikely


Even before the lurid allegations, Obama held a lead over Ryan in various polls.

Even before this week, Obama was running well ahead in the polls.

Isn't Bush the one who never granted a pardon or commuted a sentence when he was governor?

Spoken like a true Indiana corn-farker. Guess what happens when you ship all the special ed students from Illinois to Indiana? The collective IQ rises in BOTH states. Penis.
