I'm so happy.

He is an embarrassment to Illinois. Updated On: 1/29/09 at 05:45 PM

I'm going to miss him. He needs to get a reality series or maybe marry Liza Minnelli...or something.

First thing tomorrow, crews from IDOT will be covering over his name on the signs at the tollway oases(or whatever the plural of "oasis" is).

Oh man, PJ. I bet he WILL get a reality series! Maybe "Rock of Blag" where he gets to choose which skank to hook up with...I can see it now. He's certainly got the hair for it.

Did anyone watch his statement? It was rather interesting. I'm impressed at how swiftly this impeachment occurred. Perhaps if he had been President, he could have avoided all this impeachment nonsense and simply do what he wants.

I want to see the movie - with Steve Carell as Blago and Jennifer Aniston as Patty.

Instead of answering why he said "I've got this thing and its bleepin' golden", he chose to talk about how he grew up in a poor immigrant family...in other words, he had nothing.

And from what I understand, after his speech he hopped back on the government plane to get back to Chicago. If he was still in Springfield after he was ousted, he would have had to hitch it home.

He lives about a mile due west of me. I'm sure the neighborhood will be a-flutter tonight.

Although the news stations are saying "Impeached" he was actually impeached weeks ago- this was a conviction and vote to remove him from office.

You're right, Joe. I thought about that after I posted. Whatever. Biatch is gone. :)

I'd like to see him on the stand up comedy circuit.

He is a liberal, right?

I heard the vote live on WBEZ tonight and was quite pleased.

Let's hope that our state govenernment can get back to work. There are so many providers of social services that are waiting for state payments to keep their doors open!

AMEN!!!

His impromptu news conference was nothing but a freak show!

I hope Blago is out of the spotlight until his trail.

Has anyone noticed that Blago's upper lip looks like a botched makeup job for a PLANET OF THE APES re-make?

I swear this guy is bi polar. He is just all over the map!

NOT who you want running a state government.

I generally don't like to make fun of people's looks, but I have to admit I busted my gut when I read what Dollypop wrote.

He does look a little ape-ish. LOL.
