The vote was unanimous. Rod is no longer the Governor of Illinois.

[KansasGirl]

One down. How many to go?

[brytlea]

Saw that. Anyone know anything about the woman I think they said will replace him?

[Red Steel]

It’s time for Rod to take the rest of the rats down with the ship.

[Danae]

Should be the Lieutenant Governor I would think, but I don’t know, I live a LONG way from Illinois. I am just glad to see a blatant criminal go down.

[Bean Counter]

He was already impeached. The Senate convicted him of the charges in the Bill of Impeachment, and agreed to remove him from office as a result.

[Borges]

Impeached or convicted?

[mainepatsfan]

Well the show was fun while it lasted.

[Cicero]

Pat Quinn. But he’s a man.

Starting with Obama.

[Revolting cat!]

[PGR88]

Is Ditka going to run for the position?

[VanDeKoik]

56

[brytlea]

I just wondered if she was part of what seems to be the rampant corruption in that state. Surely someone will be along any time now who knows.

[freekitty]

I thought it was the Lt Gov that will replace him?

[Danae]

Convicted and removed from Office. He should be packing right about now.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

If you mean Pat Quinn, it’s a guy “Pat”

[mware]

impeached and convicted in the senate. Not in a criminal case.

[Concho]

Indicted.

They are supposed to vote now on forever barring him from ever holding elected office in Illinois again.

It’s too bad that’s where it will end. Fitzgerald blew it by not letting Blagojevich go through with the deal with Jesse Jackson, Jr., or whomever was going to pay up for the Senate seat.
