One of the myriad of details in the forthcoming 647-page, $825 billion economic stimulus package is the writing off of impeached, yet hilarious, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.

According to CNN the bill includes a provision added by the House Appropriations Committee that would

withhold funds from the state of Illinois "unless the Legislature directs how it will be spent, or until 'Rod R. Blagojevich no longer holds the office of governor of the state of Illinois.'"

Blago’s real crime was he embarrassed the Dear One. Let’s see if he lives long.
