I agree with the Gov. He should be given a chance to prove "that's something all of us in politics do."

We need to keep this issue alive. As long as it turns it threatens the Rat establishment. But even if he did sing...they’d say he is just trying to bring down someone else to save his butt.

He’s right and why should he go down while the other guilty like Daily, Obama and a multitude of crooks in Chicago go free.

LOL, while I agree with your point, this guy is toast.

How can he call it mere allegations, when they have him on tape facilitating a crime?

Asta la vista Blago.

He is right. By forcing him out, he will open the flood gates on everyone that he knows is dirty. If I were a Chicago politician still working in Chicago or Washington DC now, I would not sleep well. There will be others to take a fall, bank on it.

I don’t know what sort of immunity is enjoyed by the Governor, but the President is immune from prosecution while in office. This is to keep the Judicial Branch from being used as a tool against the Executive.

Perhaps they HAVE to impeach and remove Blago BEFORE they can try him for “criminal charges that haven’t been proven.” Dunno, though, since the charges against him are Federal.

He said that's something "all of us in politics do."

Agreed. Blago needs to give the court and public some details.

Just a point: little over a month ago, the director of the Abraham Presidential Library & Museum (excellent, excellent place to visit, I encourage everyone to see it) was arrested for shoplifting(!). Blagojevich FIRED the guy two days later - without due process, without a trial, without giving a closing statement, without being allowed to “defend himself”, etc. The impeachment process is NOT - repeat NOT - a criminal trial, and what’s being done to Blago is exactly what he did to that director - he’s being fired. Blago will get his day in court to prove his innocence. Don’t fall for his shuck and jive act in the national media.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich appeared at his impeachment trial today and asked senators how they can vote him out of office based on criminal charges that haven't been proven.

They know the charges are true, because they themselves have been involved with him and his schemes?

I wouldn’t pay attention to just the allegations. In my book, bullying a children’s hospital for a $50,000 campaign contribution is reason enough to get rid of him.
