“Pure and simple hell”
Friday, Nov 12, 2004 - Posted by Rich Miller
Judy Topinka is not given to understatement. She didn’t disappoint today.
Judy Baar Topinka says her two-year term as head of the Illinois Republican Party has been a series of challenges marked by political scandals and a lopsided loss in the U-S Senate race.
(And Topinka says it was “pure and simple hell” at times.)
Topinka plans to step down as party chairwoman by the end of the year.
But during a taping of W-B-B-M’s “At Issue” show today, she said she wants to keep the title through President Bush’s inauguration. She says she’s earned the right to go to the event as party chair after two tough years.
