Now it's the Republicans turn:

Bill Janklow
George Ryan
John Stozich
Johnnie Smith (from S.C.; another really sweet guy)
Jim Treffinger
Marty Barnes
Philip Giordano (another sweetheart of a guy)
Tye Thomas
Parker Bena (yet another sweetheart)
Billy "Sludge King" Slocum (one of my absolute favorites)
Brian Setencich
Paul Silvester
Alberto Gutman
Byron Looper (at one time he was a Democrat--a really nice fella, just misunderstood, probably)
Fife Symington
Jay Kim
I'll include Newt Gingrich for the time he was fined $300,000 over false statements he had made during an investigation of his use of tax-exempt organizations for partisan advocacy (though, at the end of the day, I still like him & enjoy reading his history books--though I often wonder whatever happened to his famous "Contract With America")
Bob Packwood
Guy Hunt
Missouri's own William Webster
Caspar Weinberger (who, curiously, was pardoned BEFORE he was prosecuted :lol: )
