Blagojevich Ousted As Illinois' Governor

Gov. Rod Blagojevich was thrown out of office, brought down by a government-for-sale scandal that stretched from Chicago to Capitol Hill. He becomes the first US governor in more than 20 years to be removed by impeachment. (Jan. 29)

@migueladames Perhaps that should tell you something--that Blagojevich has overwhelming, real evidence against him and all you have against Bush is a conspiracy THEORY which is just as wack as the 9/11 conspiracies, which you undoubtedly also believe in.

I laughed so hard when Blagojevich said "There's nothing but rainbows and sunshine hanging over my head."lol

Blagojevich was a terible governer. You obviously aren't from Illinois (if so you don't pay much attention) because his approval ratings were 5% before he left office, and there is a good reason for it. There are many things wrong he did that I am surprised that it took them this long to impeach him. Selling a senate seat is despicable and low even for him. Tell you what, just go to wikipedia and type in Rod Blagojevich. Then scroll down to controversies. Wikipedia is often accurate.

I cant believe that a man that got free health insurance for all illinois children,free cta rides for seniors and so much more would be impeached so quickly,yet that son of a bitch Bush who lied about the leader of Iraq simply to start a war so Cheneys' old company Haliburton could rake in millions,and is responsible for the deaths and maiming of thousands of our children gets away with his crimes against humanity? Lets hold those quick to impeach Bliagoyevich accountable come election

Nancy Pelosi is one of the most prominent traitors this country has seen in quite a while. Her actions, with respect to impeachment, can be correctly characterized as treason -- as well as obstruction of justice. Apparently Californians just don't seem to get it, as they keep returning this evil little bitch to he position as House Majority Whip.

"Hinting at investigations" is not putting impeachment back on the table. I believe they call that campaigning. She was running against staunch pro-impeachment candidates Cindy Sheehan and Shirley Golub. So, it's obvious that she might want to hint that she would investigate. Impeachment got shelved as soon as she declared it "off the table" and she never took it back off the shelf.

She hinted at investigations on Bush during the 2006 elections then backtracked after it started bringing out the right wing base, after she won it was shelved.
