A Bitter End for Blagojevich
Illinois Senators Vote 59-0 to Oust 'Devious' and 'Unfit' Governor
After making a statement for 49 minutes, which he stated "this is how politics works". Who did he think would take his side without looking guilty of corruption themselves. For the full story read this.

While I think the "trial" could have been done better, the man had to go.
And I hope to God this means I don't have to see his face plastered on my home page (yahoo news) anymore.

Re: A Bitter End for Blagojevich
I've been trying not think about it much. As it was said in news earlier, Blagojevich makes 4 out of the last 8 governors who've gone out the hard way although Blagojevich set a new standard with his two impeachments. And right after that was said, they showed Senator Hendon saying something encouraging like the new Governor Quinn will have to learn to grease the wheels because that's how things get done around here.
Almost as bad as watching wrestling. Just not as many divas, unless maybe some of the men are counted
