Wow, a DePaul post without mentioning the Klocek case, Norman Finkelstein, or 2005 (see below) DePaul speaker Ward Churchill!
Former Ill. Governor George Ryan, who was convicted on various corruption charges earlier this year, spoke at DePaul University's Student Activities Center.
Outside of Illinois, Ryan is best known as the man who emptied out Illinois' death row, and that's what he talked about at DePaul last night.
Ryan, a Kankakee Republican, begins serving his prison sentence in January. The state GOP, which he greatly damaged, was defeated in every statewide office contest in this month's elections.
