How Illinois delegation backed, opposed Bush - Sun Times

[XNASA]

It's official. I really do live in the "most anti-Bush Congressional District" in the country. Read for yourself:

----BIGGEST BUSH BASHER IN THE HOUSE: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) leads the entire House -- all 435 members -- in voting the most often -- 90.9 percent -- against legislation supported by President Bush. It's a "badge of honor," said Jackson, whose liberal views mirror those of his father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.---

That just made my day. :-)

2. Not so lucky

My Congressman, Bill Lipinski, voted with the boy-genius more than 46 percent of the time.

He's barely a Democrat (and his redrawn district only has my part of the city in it to ensure it stays Democratic - lest the southwest Cook County and Will County voters put in a Republican, so we have tha going for us, which is nice).

3. At least you're not in Crane's district.

Think of what a bitter pill that would be.
