Ill. Gov. Quinn visits troops in Iraq

I've been pretty critical of Governor Patrick Quinn since he succeeded Rod Blagojevich in Illinois. But he's a strong supporter of our troops, and while he was lieutenant governor, he attended, without fanfare, the funeral of every Illinois soldier killed in the War on Terror.

Shortly after signing the state budget bill, Quinn flew to Iraq, along with four other governors: Jay Nixon of Missouri, Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, Rick Perry of Texas, and Jim Gibbons of Nevada.

Thank you, governors.
