One Less Turd in the Punchbowl...
So, the Illinois State Assembly voted overwhelmingly today to remove Blogojevich from office and went one step further, denying him the right to ever hold office in the state again. I imagine the vote went something like this:
State Senate President, John Cullerton: "Okay... Let's make this simple. Does anyone here actually think Governor Blagojevich should actually remain in office? Wow. One for? Wait a minute... Put your hand down, Rod. you don't get a vote."
I'm glad the ordeal is over and that Illinois can get back to slimy politics as usual.
