Trouble! with a capital T and that rhymes with B and that stands for Blagojevich… UPDATE

January 29, 2009

Our state senate impeached Blagojevich today, and he testified nonsensically in his own defense for 47 interminable minutes.  He invoked the elderly and the children, and freedom and all the reasons why it would just be a cryin’ shame to boot him out.

And he reminded me of… something, some con-artist I’d heard somewhere.  Then it hit me:

Well, Blago is no Robert Preston.  But it was pretty entertaining all the same.

BONUS UPDATE! I noticed this newspaper box on the way back from lunch today.  Take a look at the teaser image on the bottom of the box… newspapers can only be this blatant when they know the guy hasn’t a friend left in the world.

(Click the pic to download high-res.)  And I think Dana saw this one coming..  Also you might enjoy Ed Brayton’s description of Blago’s incredibly ridiculous defense.  Sounds like the title of a children’s book, doesn’t it?

    Blago is so damn terrible of a Governor and such a crooked asshole the IL Senate took less than a day to impeach. His talks on the matter show his contempt for the people of IL (treating us like morons) and narcissism. What a waste.

    Good luck Quinn. Blago fucked up a lot of things.

    Dude… was “Buh Bye Blago” really on that box?  I feel like Nostradamus!  ROFLMAO.

    Congratulations on getting rid of an obnoxious jerk!

    Yep, it really said that.  Had to walk back and get a picture.  And yep, we’re mighty glad he’s gone.
