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

Pat Quinn being sworn in as Governor an hour ago -- posted for freepers outside Illinois who are curious:

Nicely done!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

How much corruption might be in his past?

[El Gato]

Now that he's been impeached, and is vulnerable to prosecution, conviction and incarceration, how long before he starts singing about what he knows of The One? Such as where he was born.

Hope he doesn't end up in Lake Michigan wearing cement overshoes.

Thank you so much Ernest!

[El Gato]

Have they ripped the buttons off his jacket and broken his sword?

No but I understand there is talk of a buzz cut. :)

[El Gato]

How is that constitutional if he hasn’t been convicted of a felony?

That would depend on the provisions of the Constitution of Illinois.

[SunkenCiv]

Blah-goy-a-vich is OUT.

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the..............................HA ha!!!

[SeekAndFind]

There is evidence to convict Blago of SAYING he wanted to be bribed, but what evidence was shown that he actually TOOK a bribe ?

Just asking, not saying that I mourn his ouster.

This is like Freddy Krueger being judged by Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Pinhead and Michael Myers with Hannibal Lecter as prosecutor.

I know some of these guys. I mean is it fair to have the guilty judge the guilty?

[1010RD]

The libs at the Chicago Tribune did it. Not Fitz. They worried that Rahm was going to be at the meeting as well and the ONE would be caught up in this nastiness, but because the ONE is perfect they took no chances and ran the story Friday (against Fitz’s requests) to make sure.

The weekend meeting with all the conspirators was canceled. Rod was already damaged goods, they did not want the corruption to hurt any of their favorites.

His hair is a force of nature.

I know Pat. He is a very decent guy. VERY supportive of the troops.

[potlatch]

Thank you devolve.

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.

Pat Quinn is now governor of Illinois.

[2harddrive]

Blagojevich, that Son of a B-—h, is impeached....but will he voluntarially vacate the Palace?

[hiredhand]

Are you kidding? He's still breathing. He's not down.
