Blagojevich jogs while Ill. House votes to impeach
AP News
Friday, January 09, 2009
Gov. Rod Blagojevich was out jogging in Chicago as lawmakers in Springfield voted to impeach him. Upon returning from his jog, he likened his situation to long-distance running.
Blagojevich refused to answer any specific questions about the 114-1 vote by which the House impeached him Friday.
But he said: "Let me simply say I feel like the old Alan Sillitoe short story 'The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner.' ... And that's what this is by the way, a long-distance run."
He then promised to say more at an afternoon news conference.
Earlier Friday, the 52-year-old Democrat emerged from his home in a black jogging suit and berated the media for bothering his neighbors before heading out on a jog.
He now faces a Senate trial. If convicted, he'll be removed from office.

To use a mixed metaphor, I wonder if the shit will flow uphill to Rahm Emmanuel or, dare I say it, The ONE himself... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I'm really enjoying the hell out of this...
Not only was this slime-ball impeached but he was convicted just this evening...removed from office...and barred from holding any future office in Illinois.

Blagojevich removed from office
By ANDY BARR | 1/29/09 5:50 PM EST
Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) was removed from office Thursday by a unanimous vote of the Illinois state Senate.
Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn (D) will serve the remainder of Blagojevich’s term. The House voted 114-1 earlier to impeach.
Blagojevich came to Springfield earlier in the day to make a direct plea to the Senate. He argued the impeachment was illegitimate and that his opponents were pushing it as political retribution for some of his political victories.
“If I felt I did something wrong, I would have resigned in December,” he said.
Blagojevich still faces federal criminal charges.

One article I read said 4 of the last 8 governors of IL have faced criminal charges, including his predecessor. Maybe he and Ryan can share a cell.
And they say Louisiana is bad...

Well you know, the phrase "Chicago politics at it's finest" has some meaning to it.
