Good Riddance

Bye-bye Blagojevich

Former Illinois Governor (that has a nice ring to it) Rod Blagojevich was unanimously removed from office by the Illinois senate yesterday.

The Bleeping Golden Quote of the Day:

"We have this thing called impeachment and it's bleeping golden and we've used it the right way," Democratic state Sen. James Meeks of Chicago said during the debate, mocking Blagojevich's expletive-laden words as captured by the FBI on a wiretap.

Recently they released some recordings of taped phone calls involving Blago. They certainly didn't include any of the really exciting parts. The one part I did find somewhat interesting was this:
Replacing Blago is the Lt. Governor Pat Quinn, whose first executive order as Governor fittingly deals with corruption.

"Newly minted Gov. Pat Quinn's first executive order will be to establish the Illinois Reform Commission as an official state body under the governor's office, he said this morning."

I truthfully don't know much about Quinn, other than that he has been extremely ready and willing to take over for Blago. I will continue to report on him.

Have a nice day!
