Ill. House Impeaches Gov. Blagojevich
CBS/AP) In a dramatic display of anger and solidarity over a political scandal that has made Illinois a national laughingstock, lawmakers on Friday voted 114-1 to impeach disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
It's the first time in the state's history that the Illinois House has voted to impeach its governor, notes CBS station WBBM.
The action sets the stage for a state Senate trial on whether Blagojevich should be thrown out of office for corruption and abuse of power. It is unclear when those proceedings will actually get underway.
Blagojevich plans to make a statement at 2 p.m. CST.
House members found evidence that the two-term Democrat had abused his power, including improperly spending tax money, adopting programs without legislative approval and violating state hiring laws.
He has denied wrongdoing.
The new fuhrer is probably shitting bricks.It will be fun to watch them try to throw each other under the bus. :popcorn:
Who knows what will come out during the testimony...? Blago has serious revenge on his mind.
Pop over to the DUmp if you get a chance. Don't have time to drag threads over right now, but it's amazing how many of the idiots believe that impeachment mean that he's been kicked out of office or even going to prison today.Yeah, how'd that work out for Bubba "drop drawers" Clinton?

As mentioned in an earlier thread, this is moving too fast.
I want this to drag on and on and on.
