Ikenson doesn’t mention the “President George W. Bush again claims credit for auto industry bailout.” side of this. Didn’t hear that in Tampa.

” A study this year by the University of Illinois Institute for Government and Public Affairs found that New York leads the country in public corruption, with 2,522 of its officials having been convicted of misdeeds since 1976.”

The truth of this conclusion that NY leads the country in public corruption is suspect becasue the number of convictiosn is a function of the State’s siza and whether corruption is ferreted out.

Also, University of Illinois Institute for Government studies may be biased in favor of Illinois. My gut feeling, is that Illinois leads the country in public corruption with New York a not so distant second.
