You promised CHANGE and it started good right here in ILLINOIS. If it
wasnt' for you being elected POTUS, we'd still be putting up with the
puppet machine.

Well, Blago's out and Quin is in!

Now, when will the fedral and state corruption trials begin? Will
Blagy-pants do time for something? Eh, who knows.


comments from his own party affiliates:

"It's our duty to clean up the mess and stop the freak show that's
become Illinois government," said Rep. Jack Franks, D-Woodstock.

"His silence in this grave matter is deafening," said House Majority
Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, D-Chicago.

During the House's 90-minute debate, no one spoke up to defend the
governor. But Rep. Milton Patterson, D-Chicago, voted against
impeachment.

Rep. Elga Jefferies, D-Chicago, voted "present." ("O" did a lot of
that, too!)

Patterson said he wasn't defending anyone, but that he read the
impeachment committee's report and wasn't comfortable voting against
the governor.

"I went by my own gut feeling, it's as simple as that," he said. "I
read the report. If the government is going to indict him, let them go
ahead and do that. That's their job and I'm doing my job."

Rep. Susana Mendoza, D-Chicago, noted the federal allegation that
Blagojevich threatened to withhold state funds for children's health
care unless he got a campaign donation from a hospital executive.
"Repugnant is too kind a word to describe that action," she said.
