Illinois' Former Governor

Blagojevich is now out, the vote being 59-0 in the Illinois state senate to oust him. Pretty much unanimous.

I haven't followed it faithfully. But I watched a few minutes tonight when he was live on David Shuster's program, a cut to a press conference outside a house. He wasn't admitting much and still seemed defiant, even while realizing that he was out. But he vowed to fight for people, whatever that means. He's trying to portray himself as some kind of hero.

I personally wouldn't care about him that much, but it was unfortunate that he had to detract from Obama in the days after the election. I think that's enough to kick him out for.

It was interesting that they not only kicked him out but also voted to disqualify him from holding any public office in Illinois ever again. So that's a real vote of no confidence. Next time, keep your nose clean.
