Blagojevich Impeached 114-1
The Illinois House of Representatives impeached the state’s governor today. The article of impeachment will now go the state Senate for a trial, but until then (likely Jan. 26), Blagojevich will still govern the good people of Illinois to the best of his ability.
Hot Air’s Allahpundit has a question:
I’m not even sure what the charges against him in the impeachment trial will be at this point. Supposedly he can no longer perform the duties of governor effectively. Really? He was effective enough to make the entire U.S. Senate choke on the Burris appointment.
Ace of Spades has the related stories. He already misses Blagojevich’s hair, but I’ll miss the eyes.
