Guess who’s going to be Audi 5000? Governor Rod Blagojevich!

The Illinois Senate unanimously voted to remove Gov. Rod Blagojevich from office on Thursday after an FBI investigation revealed he tried to sell a U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder.

Blagojevich will be immediately replaced by Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn, a fellow Democrat. No other Illinois governor has been impeached, let alone convicted in a Senate trial.

Each senator was given five minutes to speak before the 59-0 final vote on Blagojevich’s fate. Republican Sen. Dale Righter of Mattoon called him “a devious, cynical, crass and corrupt politician.”

I didn’t see that coming…

Being an Illinois resident, all I have to say is THANK GOD HE’S GONE! He can’t even practice politics in Illinois ever again – totally awesome.

I lived in Rock Island, Illinois for many years.

Part of me knows he’s guilty (of something). The other part of me thinks he was railroaded.
