From the Chicago Sun-Times:

On what would have been Richard Nixon’s 95th birthday, the Illinois House voted 114-1 today to impeach Gov. Blagojevich — the first chief executive in the state’s 190-year history to face such an action.

“We wanted him. We elected him. We supported him. And he’s disgraced us,” said Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago).

Blagojevich’s political fate will be decided by the state Senate later this month in a trial. If two-thirds of the senators vote to convict Blagojevich, he will be removed from office and barred from holding elected position again.

OUCH!!

So long, suckers!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

One reply on “Illinois House Votes to Impeach Blago”

  1. What I’d like to know is, who was that one legislator who didn’t care to vote for Governor Hairhelmet … and why?

    Was it just a lark or something?
