Chicago - Disgraced former Governor George Ryan won't be using his get out jail card anytime soon.
A federal court denied his request to rehear his appeal for early release. A panel of judges originally ruled against Ryan in August. Ryan's lawyer argued prosecutors in 2006 never really proved he took a bribe.
The 78 year-old Ryan is set to be released in July.

Don't worry, George, Obama will pardon you as soon as the election is over, right after he commutes Blago's sentence.
