COMMENTS: Laughing Stock
The political culture of Illinois came in for ribbing from CBS' Jeff Greenfield in New York and ABC's Barbara Pinto in Chicago. Pinto ticked off three of Gov Rod Blagojevich's incarcerated predecessors over the past four decades to call the Land of Lincoln "a state accustomed to politicians in handcuffs." Greenfield quoted the recommendation by Mike Royko, the late newspaper columnist, that Chicago's motto should be Ubi Est Mea?--Where's Mine. Greenfield quipped: "When they talk about term limits for Illinois politicians they do not mean how long they can serve in office."
