The vote was unanimous. Rod is no longer the Governor of Illinois.
Time for “Gandhi” Rod to start singing.
[Zer0 is now free to bring him in as an Ethics Czar]
Now that was funny!!!!
Come on Blago.......write a tell all book. Lets clean out all the rats from Chicago,including Barry and Rahmbo!
:) Tks
Hopefully its not over. There are a lot of Illinois and Chicago pols worried. Blago was on the inside and knows a lot.
Her father is the Speaker of the Illinois House.
I’m afraid you’re right.
He’s about to be.
Au contraire, Blago forced it. He wanted a big show with witnesses and everything. They gave him a star chamber with the same transcripts that were public. Indeed, when Fitzgerald agreed to provide some other tapes, the SEIU and others went to court to prevent that from happening. This show ain't over yet although it will not be public for a while until the criminal indictments come out. Fitz has been working on Chicago for years. He wants more trophies...
Maybe that’s who they were talking about on Fox. Thnx.
LOL, probably a smart move, in retrospect.
OK, imagine your are GOV of a state, traveling down the road, surrounded by security types - the word comes in, you have just been removed from office.
The convoy halts, two big cops put you to the curb, and the convoy leaves you standing in the rain.
Wow. LOL.
The presstitutes and polidiots are making him look the fool he is for reason......he will try and hang those that hung him thus they have to make him look crazy as a loon versus just the criminal dumbass he is.
That way no one believes him. If he was gonna do such he should have done it day ONE !
Now even under oath he’s just trying to make a deal.
Unless of course he has some damaging media buried under his porch.
Darn right ... those pols know where their bread is buttered. They marched to the orders of their dear IL leader:

Stimulus Bill Targets Blagojevich (Obama Plays Hardball)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2173976/posts

“....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.’
That would be great theater!
Oh, the irony.
The investigation was shut down when it got too close to 0bama. I had read, a while back, that there were tapes of Emanuel telling Blago that he could get Blago’s wife some appointments to corporate boards but it would have to wait 2 years so as not to look like pay-for-play. After the election the 0bama campaign got wind of the investigation (0bama was privy to EVERYTHING after he won the election) and Emanuel made the call saying they wouldn't give anything for the seat. Shortly thereafter Fitz came forth and spoke of the investigation. Trust me, if Blago has done wrong, which it looks like he has, 0bama knew about it. Blago has asked that ALL the tapes be played and his request was declined. Why do you suppose they won't release all the tapes unless they are protecting someone? I'm sure that ALL the politicos, R and D, in Illinois would be inclined to protect ‘native son’ 0bama.
Good.
Don Daley, Rod sleeps with the fish.
ROFL.
