Chicago Is Number 1 in Political Corruption

John Kass reports on Chicago:

So Chicago isn't quite the birthplace of hope and change after all, is it?

Wow.

Instead, Chicago is the corruption capital of America, and Illinois is the third most-corrupt state, according to a new academic study on the science of sleaze.

"Unfortunately, when it comes to political corruption, we're numero uno," Dick Simpson, head of the political science department at the University of Illinois at Chicago and co-author of the report, told me Wednesday. "It's not something we should be proud of. But this is the corruption capital."

Just a reminder, how could Barack Obama possibly be clean ?
