Blah, blah, blah, Go, Go, Go, goood-bye
Helmet Head is out. Impeached by the Illinois Senate by a unanimous vote of 59-0.
But what will become of The Children and The Elderly and The Vaccines?!!!!
Cue the goodbye song:
Have no fear, though. It’s an iron-clad guarantee that we haven’t seen the last of the Great Megalomaniac of the Midwest.

As my helmet-headed governor (Rick Perry) is fond of saying, “Adios, m*-f*!”
The second tour of the media will begin tomorrow so that he can tell his side of the story about how unfair they were to him.Waaaaaaa…….
Does he still get to keep his benefits and pension?
Graft was not the problem-he wasn’t sharing it. Hate to quote Big Graft Daley but Coo Coo.
Bye Bye Happiness, Hell-o Big Daddy LeRoy and friends? Can Blago sing that song?
He was doing so good, then Geraldo Rivera jumped in on his side and it was all over but putting on the orange jump suit.
Ah well, another Democrat down. Always a cause for celebration at my house – they’re doing the Lemming Free Fall at the state and local level and I’m a happy guy.
Anyone think that John Conyors can get his trial of W started before they put his wife in prison?
Karma rocks.
He sounded just like Odopey and Peloosey this afternoon, are you guys sure they’re not triplets?
DLTDHYOTWO
Patty the Eff?
Let’s hope now that Blago has been crucified that he will begin retributions by incriminating Obama. Wouldn’t that be great?
59 to Zero, now thats bi-partisanship.
Glad that news feeding frenzy is over.
Meet MSNBC’s new 10 pm host.
Blago deserves whatever happens but think for a moment would this would be like had he been black. There would be protests and riots going on right now.
Great.
Now we can get started impeaching all the rest of Illinois’ corrupt politicians …
Oh yeah. That would mean impeaching the President …
As if America had the intestinal fortitude to do that!

Can he stay like Clinton did?
No, I really want to know.
Pathelogicus Homonus Democraticus, aka Piece of Human Defecation…Buh-bye!
If Obama pardons him now to protect Emmanuel (and maybe even himself) in case Blags starts to sing, I’m sure that NBC/CNN/CBS/ABC and Time magazine will ensure it is completley forgotten long before the 2010 midterms, let alone 2012.
As if popular opinion will matter anymore once we go to national same day registration and voting and national no ID required voting.
Even without that we are screwed due to higher birth rates among “you know who”s.
59 – 0
Was the Zero duh1?
Just askin’.
Alas, knocking off corrupt Democrats is like the bottles of beer on the wall song with an infinite number of bottles.
Take away one and it’s still an infinite number of bottles.
{o.o}
One unethical Democrat politician down many, many, many, more to go. Bye bye now!
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE (mo-lone lah-veh) Translation: Come and take them!
I’m betting on moving day from the gov’s mansion he decides to sing like a canary. Ya get what you pay for, and they obviously didn’t pay him enough. No pun intended I swear.
It’s anti-Serbian discrimination!
Now, if only they could find running my state literally into the ground an impeachable offense, then maybe we could get rid of MY governor. Who’s MY gov? Jennifer (expletive) Granholm, of the once-great state of Michigan…which is now the most pathetic state in the Union.
How good is Granholm? She’s so awesome that she’s on Obama’s “economic advisory board.” She’s done such a wonderful job in Michigan that Obama wants to spread the joy here nationwide.
The nation is being run by imbeciles and the insane.
Speaking of Michigan, the disgraced ex-mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, who is currently in prison, wants permission to move out of the state upon his release so HE CAN FIND A JOB!!!
I’m not kidding either.
Ding, Ding.
Ding, Ding.
“Illinois, departing.“
What a pointless circus for a little man of such meritless significance.
Considering that Blago will make it two in a row for Illinois (e.g. IL Gov’s in the clink), success for Gov. Pat Quinn merely means staying out of jail.
How long until he gets a book deal, speaking engagements, a spread in Vanity Fair, etc.?
The only difference between megalomaniac Blago and the rest of the Dems is that Blago got caught.
Maybe he’ll write a book from prison. Seems a popular route these days for jailed politicians and hollyweird nuts.
Frankly, Blago WAS heard on those tapes saying he didn’t want to be governor anymore. Therefore, this should go down as a good day for him, no? Now he can go apply for a job at K-Mart.
Because I don’t want ass prints on my new door!
What goes around for Blago, comes around (right back)-bye helmet head
His corruption trial should be fun.
Here in Massachusetts, our politicians get a standing ovation when forced to leave. Sal Dimasi is once, twice, three times … still shady
I am looking forward to the corruption trial, who do you suppose he will call for his witnesses, this is just simmering…Does anyone think Ex Governor Rod Blagojevich isn’t working another angle right now? I don’t think he is planning on going down alone. And Chicago is a target rich environment for Political Corruption.
Woulda never got that far. Look at Cold Cash Jefferson and Chuckles Rangel.
Yo AquaNet!
Loose lips sink ships.
Ya got it?

Illinois Political Machine
What a piece of work! Wow, it’s amazing that that brain of his could generate enough energy to move those legs… (to paraphrase a line from an old Superman movie).
I feel a little bad for the guy. It’s feast time in D.C. (and thus elsewhere) for any and all Chicago thugs, but Blago gets elbowed out of the way at the trough. I wonder if he can hit back to any significant degree. It would be goooood watchin’!
I read an article today from DEEtroit about a guy frozen in a block of ice, and had been for some time while the homeless milled around. The reporter that wrote it tried to make it into such a sob story about the homeless, without ever mentioning why the city or state might be in such a sorry state.
What? No one voted “Present”? Oh, yeah, that’s right. That former state senator has moved on.
The problem is the good people of Illinois keep picking scummier and scummier corruptocrats to run their cities and state! Can you imagine who Acorn will elect next? If you think Blago was bad just wait until Acorn steals another Illinois election.
Any time it happens to a corrupt politician is good watchin.
As for Blingo, I wonder how hard he is trying to work a deal, and now knowing he is out, if he will start playing hard ball with Oblahblah and the Childish One.
The lesson here is, don’t embarrass our dear Chairman.
Dear Michelle,
Blago was impeached by the House.
Impeachment is the accusation.
Blago was convicted by the Senate.
AP uses the correct terminology.
You, Jim Hoft, and too many other blogs are saying he was impeached by the Senate.
Please correct above to state that Blago was convicted by the Illinois Senate.
Blago…the most wanted man in America. What do you want to bet that he could cough up a lot of dirt on Obama and Emanual? I think that could be the biggest reason the Chicago machine was in such a hurry to dispatch and bury this clown.
News is now that the new governor has immediately removed Blago’s security detail. It’s obvious they want to make it easy for someone to kill him before he implicates Obama in the corruption. Chicago thug politics at it’s best.
You’re absolutly right. Just like slick willy – he was impeached by the house, however the senate didn’t bother to read the charges and failed to convict. Had they thrown the criminal out of office I’m sure things would be a lot different now.
Yeah. We would have had AlGore instead of George Bush because AlGore would have been the incumbent in the election.
Exactly what crime was Gov Blogojevich convicted of that merited his ouster. I am not suggesting that what he did wasn’t wrong, or distastefull. I would have preferred a criminal conviction before his ouster.
Throwing him out based on things he did in is first term is bogus. If he did something in his first term he should have been been brought to this moment at that time.
Throw him out, but do it for reasons that make sense. He should at least be proven guilty of something.
Yup, Lord God Al would have instituted the full force of the Kyoto protocol.
Actually, Blow-dry-o-vich spent very little time in Springfield. He never moved into the Governor’s Mansion, as he didn’t want to pull his kids out of their private school (though I can’t really blame him for not wanting to live in Springfield!). He did most of his work at the state office building in Chicago, and would routinely fly to Springfield on a state plane when he had business there.
Lest my fellow Illinoisans celebrate too quickly, the new Gov, Pat Quinn, immediately said that the people of Illinois (me) would have to “sacrifice” to pull us out of this mess (meaning a tax hike, of course). The Dems that run the state have wanted to boost the income tax for years, and Bloggo always resisted (about the only thing he did right).
Small fish sacrificed while the big fish continue to swim in corruption.
What were the grounds for the impeachment? An alleged criominal act that never really happened? Yes, he talked about trying to sell President O’s senate seat……………but he never actually did it. So is this the day and age when Executives of Government get impeached for basically talking but not doing a thing?
Loox like we’ve turned a corner…..
Darn, and I was enjoying Blagojevich’s sticking the Democrat’s sacred canards down their throats.
Oh well, all good things must come to an end.
It’s all right though, I here Rod has come into some prime Brooklyn real estate.
Either he knows something about duh1 or he doesn’t.
Since he hasn’t said anything about duh1, is it possible that he is “taking one for the team”?
I’m sorry to see Blago go. I love this guy, he’s a great source of comedy that will be sorely missed.
I hope he runs for office again and wins! He can still run for Federal Office, the next Democrat President maybe?
Just when I was starting to like the guy. Time to find another corrupt liberal douche bag for comic relief. So many to pick from… who to choose… who to chose…
I’m not a fan of Blago & don’t mind making fun of him, but couldn’t you try to be even a little original?
Is the now-vacant Lt. Governor seat up for bid?
This clown was just a convenient scapegoat to cover for the Obama and the other entrenched criminals. We all know why the cover on the investigation got blown early.
Classic Communists. As corrupt as they wanna be. I can’t wait for when they actually come all the way out of the closet and declare their eternal fealty to the grand Socialist State.
I feel awful–just really, really bad. And embarrassed–I always thought the lead singer of that song was a woman.
I am so ashamed. But it makes more sense that it is a man singing it.
Next, someone is going to tell me that CCR was NOT singing about a bathroom on the right (”Bad Moon Rising”).
I don’t feel bad about Blago though.
Another democrat bites the dust.
I hear that they already yanked his security detail. He’d better develop eyes in the back of his head, ’cause there just might be some things that nobody wants him to talk about! But it’s probably all on tape anyhoo.
You guys, I noticed that too last night on the local news. They made it PAINFULLY clear that he was losing his security detail. Now why would they even make a point of reporting that? Point blank, they want him dead before he could bring down the Dark Messiah. Oh please, Blago, sing for us!!!
Fromt the article:”Obama himself, fresh from his historic election victory, was forced to look into the matter and issued a report concluding that no one in his inner circle had done anything wrong.”
Well, that mystery’s solved. What a relief.
By the way, anyone know the breakdown by party in the Illinois Senate? I haven’t seen or heard that reported.
The security detail gone, Blago telegraphed his intention to talk last night on the front lawn. Asked the media if they would be available to hear about some of the things he was asked to do by others.
Non-Chicago observers don’t understand the depth of Outfit involvement in the politics of Illinois. It’s on both sides of the aisle. Daley is the big fish in Illinois, Obama is just a sideshow. The unions are fronts for the Outfit as are cities and construction companies. Any talk threatens a lot of people.
Blago better cook his own food, and jog in the daytime. Be careful around the in-laws too, there are a couple of ‘made’ relatives at every get together.
In Washington, LaHood will be the Outfit’s man at the table — loads of juicy contracts through shortly.
You can rest assured the investigation of Dear Blago was cut short before the trail would lead Fitz closer to Dear Leader. Fitz didn’t want to find himself floating in some canal.
