Blago, Etc.

Blagojevich has been impeached by the Illinois House of Representatives by a vote of 114-1:

A Blagojevich spokesman said the governor will not resign. A 2 p.m. news conference with the governor is scheduled for the James R. Thompson Center in downtown Chicago.

The actions of the House--approving an article of impeachment maintaining Blagojevich had committed abuses of power--represents the equivalent of an indictment.

The impeachment resolution covering Blagojevich's actions "show a public servant who has betrayed his oath of office, who has betrayed the public trust, who is not fit to govern the state of Illinois,” said Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, the Chicago Democrat who headed a special panel that recommended Blagojevich’s impeachment a day earlier.

As far as I am concerned, Dick Durbin is more incompetent than Harry Reid.

Blago, Etc.

After some Democratic senators decided to make absolute asses out of themselves over not seating Roland Burris to Obama's vacated Senate seat, there is a possibility he will be seated anyway.

More.

Senate "leaders," and I use that term loosely, deny these reports.

This saga is like something out of the Keystone Kops. If Reid is trying to be crafty and thinking about quashing GOP criticism over the Democrats being the "party of corruption" when the seat becomes open again next year, he's failed miserably.

Blago, Etc.

Democrats in the U.S. Senate really ought to shut up about Blago's appointment of Roland Burris to Obama's seat.

The Republicans WANT, desperately WANT, a special election for them to steal. Durbin and the rest need to shut the fuck up and let the drama unfold.

Campaign Notes.

With "friends" like Bill Richardson and Dick Durbin, who in the hell needs enemies?

Now if you figure in Florida and Michigan, Clinton is AHEAD in delegates, yet these fools want her to drop out.

Never mind Obama has no chance of being elected president.

Joseph Wilson has almost as high an opinion of Obama as I do.

The "national security" issue would destroy him if he got the nomination.
