THANK YOU Senate. This dragged out longer than necessary. He should have been ousted a year ago and saved the tax payers millions of dollars.
Get out, crook!
No surprise here.
Bye Bye Blago...good to see ya go!
Another bleeding heart liberal bites the dust...keep em' coming
He should have been out a very long time ago!!!
This is what happens to you when you oppose Obama.
This is a black day for the state & its Senate. I see a lawsuit coming from the former governor.......it's just the thin edge of the wedge!
DEMwits, I remind you that Blago's predecessor, a Republican, is currently sitting in jail. This isn't an issue of bleeding heart liberal versus Conservative. It's an issue of good versus bad, legal versus illegal. What ever happened to politicians who truly sought to do good for those they represent, rather than just looking for what was best for them? I guess those days are gone!
TODAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR ILLINOIS. I HOPE THIS IS A LESSON LEARNT BY ALL GOVERNORS AND SENATORS IN THE USA.
Thats just the appetizer. Now bring him up on criminal charges – I'm betting he takes the 5th. Can't wait to read the transcripts of the wiretaps, its gonna be better than Goodfellas!
HIT THE ROAD JACK...... when you do dirt things have a way of coming back and biting you in the butt!
He was a real Headache. Could not wait this guy to go!!
This has nothing to do with democrats. He was a corrupt politician, and they fall on both sides of the lines.
coo-koo.......coo-koo
his time has run out!
good news to me! its nice to see corruption get served up a hot plate of JUSTICE!!
Shocker.
WHO 'S NEXT ??????????
It's about time!
Look on the bright side. The tunnel he dug will be useful for trans-continental transport to Austrailia.
GOV. PALIN SHOULD BE NEXT. HOW DID SHE GET AWAY WITH ABUSING HER POWER, BUT THAT'S OK, WE'LL GET HER WHEN SHE SURFACES IN 2012 IF THE REPUBLICANS OR ANY OTHER PARTY DARE TO APPOINT HER.
What about his wife? She was in on it too.
Next on deck......

The man is insane.
This guy's skin must be thicker than the sole of my shoes. Go away already!
