Blagojevich Out!

[longhorn_92]

I wonder if he will take anyone down with him???


SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Gov. Rod Blagojevich was convicted at his impeachment trial and thrown out of office Thursday, ending a nearly two-month crisis that erupted with his arrest on charges he tried to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat.

Blagojevich becomes the first U.S. governor in more than 20 years to be removed by impeachment.

After a four-day trial, the Illinois Senate voted 59-0 to convict him of abuse of power, automatically ousting the second-term Democrat. Democratic Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn, one of his critics, immediately became governor.

They said he wasn't worthy of the office.. I agree, any Illinois Politician worth his salt would never have gotten caught doing that...

Nope, any IL politician worth his salt, even when caught, would still get away with it.
