Hmm, that's a tough one. Louisiana's borders are quite crooked because
of the rivers it has for it's boundries, but Illinois on the other
hand has a very long border on the Mississippi, the bottom half of the
east border is on the Ohio, and it also borders Lake Michigan. I'll go
with Illinois

Oh, I thought he meant the State Government.
I don't know about La., but my home state is Il. and it was pretty
crooked when the first Daly ran it from Chicago, and for a long time
before that. I wonder if "getting caught" is all that separates one
state from another that way?

We're ****ed here in NJ because we always prided ourselves in having the
most corrupt government in the land. Now the FBI tells us we're only third.

Damn.

Why is it a FACT that the most corrupt is always Democrat-run? Asshole,
hypocrite, liberal scum is what they all are. And those who vote for them
are just as bad.

Neal, you seem to be forgetting Alaska, . It's right up there at the
top, and, Republican. I would suggest it isn't about Republican or
Democrat. It's about any state that doesn't have a viable two party
system to keep the party in power, in check.

Duh! Alaska was run by good ole boys from the Democrat party before Palin
rode into town and took the governor's job from them. For the most part,
it's still run by the Democrat machine. That's why they did EVERYTHING they
could to try to discredit Palin but failed during the presidential election.

Well, for starters, the Illinois governor now in prison ss a Republican. And
Louisiana is governed by a Republican. So maybe it's a matter of perception
that's influencing your "facts."

In LA the governor has been a Democrat for years and years. Finally, after
the New Orleans fiasco which both the Democrat governor and Democrat Mayor
blotched big time voters got fed up and voted the Governor, at least, out.
The new Republican governor, Bobby Jindal, can't be expected to correct the
vast amount of Democrat corruption over night.

The Illinois governor, Daniel Wallace, who is serving prison time is a
Democrat.
