Jack Ryan, the GOP candidate for Senate in Illinois, has been fighting to keep records of his divorce from actress Jeri Ryan under wraps, claiming that his son could be harmed. A judge yesterday ordered much of the records unsealed for next week and Ryan has been telling GOP honcos in IL that this could be a bit bad. A fax here shows what is rumored to be in the files. http://www.capitolfax.com/mcculloch2.pdf Bye Bye Jack!
Yeah, this has been out in the blogosphere for a while. At a certain level, so many politicians are just f****** weird. I mean, he knew this atom bomb was out there, but he ran anyway!!!! What an egomaniac!!!! Yeah yeah yeah, Clenis. I know, I know.
What makes it all the more bizarre is that one of the democratic candidates in the primary, Blair Hull, had his own divorce problems, mainly abusing his wife. He had spent $40 million before the allegations came out and he went from the front runner to losing badly to Obama.
This is the Illinois GOP Leadership's fault. They should have never allowed him to get on the ballot for the primary with that record. They'll probably try to pull a Torricelli, but it's not like there's a long line of aging Republican statesmen from Illinois that they can dredge out to lose to Obama.
He was probably thinking, "OK, that's 5 of 9. 4 to go." If you don't get that, trust me, it's really, really funny.
Obama was already killing him in the polls, I dislike him more for the annoying staff member he hired that videotaped Obama constantly as soon as he left his house until he went home at night. That has got to be one of the worst political stunts ever.
There's Jim Edgar, former governor and quite popular. But the GOP couldn't convince him to run in the primary.
And Thompson, but neither could take Obama with the lead he built up even before things hit the fan for Ryan, he has become incredibly popular in the state.
Maybe if Edgar had been arrested for bribery or income-tax evasion like all of the other Illinois governors, he'd have a shot.
Leads me to this story. My younger brother, who is a Trekkie, went to a SciFi convention a few years ago in Milwaukee. Jeri Ryan was there to meet the fans and he told me that every geek was trying to have a "moment" with her when they were asking questions. Brother said it was one of the creepiest things he has ever seen. Guarenteed, a Jeri Ryan DVD would sell double what Paris Hilton did, thanks to the Trekkies.
And the thing is, if you look at her, OK, she's hot for real life, but in Hollywood terms, she's average. OK, she has a freaky-big rack. But from the neck up...hell, I've been out with women that hot. That's my criterion...if a Hollywood chick isn't better looking than every chick I've gone out with, she's no sex symbol.
I'm not even a Trekkie, but I wouldn't mind seeing that tape. Nothing like a hot C-list celebrity getting it on in public.
I agree somewhat. She's got a great body and alleged 36D guns. But she's a little bit of a butterface.
If I use your standards, Rachel Dratch is a ********ing sex symbol in my book. If you're reading this, I'm just kidding babe. But you're not, so why do I need this disclaimer?
A quick Google search with her name brings up 20 pages worth of pictures. Apparently she has appeared in Maxim and FHM among other magazines. Maybe she's working her way up to Hustler.
Looks like the speculation is all true on Ryan http://cbs2chicago.com/illinois/IL--SenateRace-in/resources_news_html
