.......Guilty....!!!!........

Blago reportedly has appointed former child actor Buckwheat to fill his position as Gov.

State Senate trial? Can't they just vote?

Buh bye, Blago.

BUT IT WAS ONLY A BLOWJOB

what...oops sorry,....I got lost in the wayback machine

naani.com

Looks like B.O. when he was told he had a half brother.

Yes we can!

RCade, please, please, please make that idiot face go away

I like the guy. His talent for the non-verbal "Stick it up your ass, I'll do whatever I damn well please" is admirable. Who did he hurt? He stepped on a couple of wrong toes, but really, who was the victim?

Who's the one idiot who voted no?

This situation-whether you r-tards like it or not-proves one thing-when a Dem fucks up-we don't cover for him, and hold him above the law.

We leave that for your corrupt criminal enterprise.

Justice served. Now can we look at boy dunder's case file?

sorry charly

justice HAS NOT BEEN SERVED because if thats true here then clinton would not have been able to serve out his term........

he is STILL INNOCENT but just where does this put dingy harry and his boytoy.....mel torme look a like from illinOISE>..

"Who did he hurt? He stepped on a couple of wrong toes, but really, who was the victim?"

You could start with every contractor in the state of Illinois that didn't get a job because they didn't give enough money to the governor's campaign. Not to mention the rest of the Illinois population, who were deprived of the services of an effective governor. He ruined more than a few bills that the state senate and house had spent weeks on by demanding they add bullshit to help his friends or his image.

"Justice served."

Not yet. A vote to impeach just means that the state senate will now hold a trial.

So....will this end Burris's quest to be Senator or not??? Technially, I think his appointment would still be valid.

I think the Lt. Gov. could revoke the appointment and appoint someone else if Blago is removed before the Senate seats Burris.

Otherwise, its a done deal.

OMG!!!!

OMG!!!

OMFG!!!

OMG!!!

BIG HEADLINE!!!

*gasp*

OMFG!!!!!!!

DANCING BANANA

*flail wrists*

Joe,

Ok, so what did he do that any other Governor, Mayor or any other politician since the beginning of time hasn't done.

He got caught. He didn't stroke the correct political enemies. He stepped on the wrong toes and got in trouble.

Rusty, that's the difference between this impeachment and Clinton's.

So what you're saying is, this proves that if the Democrats have legitimate grounds for an impeachment, they will definitely proceed with it, right?
So now I guess we all know why they never impeached President Bush, right?

Burris is safe. He's been accepted. If Blago had appointed his favorite prostitute, then it might be different.

"I think the Lt. Gov. could revoke the appointment and appoint someone else if Blago is removed before the Senate seats Burris."

If that happens I bet Burris will regret having Senator engraved on his mausoleam.

I see one of the rubes voted "Present". Who the hell does he think he is? Messiah Jr.?

Considering the reputation of Ill. politics, these Senators were likely voting to impeach him for things of which they themselves are guilty.

Good one, Hawk.

It doesn't take much to make Frank33 1/3 look like an idiot.

Who's JAK OFF MAO really? Who's been tossed the last couple days?

Anyways, Impeachement = Indictment. You need a trial to remove him from office. Of course, he could do the honorable thing and resign, like Tricky Dick.

He stepped on the wrong toes and got in trouble.

He didn't commit a social gaffe or "step on the wrong toes". He was involved in illegal activities.

Corky,

Yep.

Bleeding hypocrites.

"This situation-whether you r-tards like it or not-proves one thing-when a Dem fucks up-we don't cover for him, and hold him above the law.

That is BS even for you. I suppose the vacated seat in question being the one held by the President-Elect who has had his own problems talking down politics as usual in the corrupt swamp that is Chicago has nothing to do with the fact that the Dems are willing to feign outrage & throw this guy under the bus whether he deserves it or not? I'm not saying he doesn't only that it doesn't matter. This looks more & more like "hurry up & get it over with to keep BO out of it" whether it is or not, it sure does look that way. I have a much easier time believing that than that the Dems have all of a sudden gotten integrity on what they pursue. Please.

ALLEGED illegal activities,,,,,thank you very much

Lee-

I don't care how many other people have done it. It is unethical and wrong. Not to mention the fact that Blagojevich was far more brazen about it, and his strategy of self-benefit permeated just about every act he ever took as governor. Eventually people that do this need to be taken care of. Getting one of them is a step in the right direction.

Pirate,

They all do it. Some contractor (mob boss) didn't get what he wanted and set up the Governor.

It'll keep lawyers busy. The entire system is corrupt. It's not just this guy. He'll be replaced by someone who'll do the same thing, especially in Illinois.

As jaded as I am on politics, I wouldn't go as far as saying they all do it. At least not at the local level.

"The entire system is corrupt. It's not just this guy."

I don't care. He likely committed federal crimes while abusing his power as governor. He deserves to be impeached and thrown in prison as do any other shitheads who conduct themselves that way. It doesn't matter that other people do it too. They should be thrown in prison too. Instead of sticking up for Blagojevich you should be calling for their heads as well.

"He'll be replaced by someone who'll do the same thing, especially in Illinois."

THAT'S historically accurate. Whether he be "R" or "D".

" He deserves to be impeached"

He just was. Just what "law school" did you allegedly graduate from, anyways?

Lessee now, what happened to the last couple of Ill Govs, and what party were they?

Come out today, Rusty. Why wait till Jan. 20th?

The House didn't impeach Blago just for trying to sell the seat. They had other things as well.

Wait till he gets indicted on federal charges. He will become like a Canary. Maybe even, a Rocking Robin. He will stay in the treetops, all day long, rocking, and ha bobbing, and singing a song. All the others liberal birds involved, in Senate Seat Sales Street, ran for their cover, when that auctioner Robin, his song began to sing.

Nope, it's sort of analogous to the grand jury process where the GJ decides if there are grounds or evidence that warrant a trial. If the State House decides to impeach someone it's similar to a grnad jury returning a true bill of indictment.

Bye bye Blago

"I don't care. He likely committed federal crimes while abusing his power as governor. He deserves to be impeached and thrown in prison..."

Criminal Law 101: innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Your opinion of what is "likely" is irrelevant. He "deserves" a fair trial and protection against the knee-jerk mob mentality and whatever sanctions his colleagues decide is appropriate under the rules.

but me and pagliaci...well we are crying underneath the smile

Blago impeached?

Great! Next step should be jail.

When Blago finally arrives at his prison they are going to remove that ridiculous hair do although it might make him more attractive to the "hardened" criminals.

.......and if Blago's type of behavior is tolerated, we could find the US dropping even faster into 'have-not' status......

Two months in jail, suspended, is no small task my friend. If you actually were required to serve it, you would only be allowed to kill six people before you had to serve a full year... IF you were required to serve it.

But as we know... "when a Dem fucks up-we don't cover for him, and hold him above the law"

So obviously the punishment fit the crime. And Frank is cool with a two month suspended sentence for murder. Now if Teddy was a republican??? He would have gotten off scott free!!!!!!!

re: The Fed Govt sucks, and is corrupt.

Republicans sure have proved that after being in charge for so long, haven't they? It was their goal, and they have succeeded mightily.

Ok...Let me understand...we need to throw Blago out of office and without a trial (no civil rights!) right into jail because he attempted to make some money off of a completely crooked Chicago political system.....but the ARMED Terriorist that tried to kill our armed forces on the battle field need to be let go out of Gitmo? Or have a REAL trial as THIER civil rights were violated?

Huh.

I just will never understand the liberal mind that seems completely devoid of logic.

Beside your less than intelligent comment about their "goal" I agree they have proved it. Reid, Pelosi, et all have been right there with them! Obama will just continue the lesson that the Fed Govt Sucks!

Oh, they have proved it. The "conservatives" doubled the debt and generally put the US up for carving like a Thanksgiving turkey. That's what happens when ideologues who hate the very concept of gov't are placed in a position to govern.

That is a little myopic to think that it is all the republicans. It did not just all the sudden get this way in 6 years, or the last 2 of Dem Congress. All sides that push the Govt to get involved in our lives have led to this. FDR was a big start to this. The effect of his policies have had long lasting results, some good some bad.

Uh, in between bleating you might have noticed that WE THE PEOPLE have pretty much kicked a huge chunk of your party to the fucking curb. "Disenfranchised" means what exactly to you? That Franken "stole" his election? That every Democrat has bent rules to make Republicans look bad? Tell me again - which party was Lee Atwater working for?

I personally want neither party in control - they should all be held accountable for their disastrous, dangerous rubber-stamping of all things BushCo.

Aside from Conyers and Kucinich, there are few to none Democrats that I admire or desire.

Republicans.. that's just sickening to imagine.

Did folks see that press conference with Blago and the "regular" people of Illinois on the stage?

He is so unreal.

And the longer he stays around the more irritated Obama gets.

So there is a silver lining.

people elected in iliNOISE like to vote present instead of doing what they were eleceted to do and thats take a stand for the people of that state.
