Lost the betting pool

So back on December 3rd, I muttered:

I'm in Illinois, so this isn't a concern for me at the mo', thanks to still oddly-unindicted former Governor Ryan.

Ah me.

Ex-Gov. Ryan indicted:

Former Illinois Gov. George Ryan was charged in a federal racketeering indictment Wednesday with taking payoffs, gifts and vacations in return for government contracts and leases while he was governor and secretary of state.

Ryan, 69, a Republican known worldwide as a leading critic of the death penalty, gradually became the focus of a corruption investigation that began even before his 1998 election as governor. The growing scandal was a factor in Ryan's 2001 decision not to seek a second term.

Here I figured they'd wait until 2004.

I mean, um, I'm shocked, shocked at these allegations of corruption in Illinois politics.
