236.com: Blagojevich Impeached By Cancer-Loving House For Healing Sick, Helping Poor

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich held a press conference this afternoon to respond to the Illinois House of Representatives' near-unanimous vote to impeach him from office. The governor began his statement by detailing the years-long effort by the House to impeach him, either to chastise the gridlock so endemic in state politics or to congratulate the House on finally getting their man.

The governor then claimed that he had been impeached because the 114 members of the House who voted in favor of impeachment do not adhere to the "Golden Rule," which states "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Not to be confused with the Blagojevich-coined "F**kin' Golden Rule," which states that one should "do unto me what this f**kin thing's worth, and we're talkin' at least $250 K annual, or maybe a f**kin' cabinet post."

Well that was Blagos biggest mistake. Trying to claim he was trying to help the people of America, the sick, the poor, and so on. Politicians and their wealthy supporters hate that kind of " do gooder" talk. Its makes them ill to think that money might be wasted on someone who is not rich and powerful. Its not what they teach in the Ivy greed schools, and its not even considered acceptable language under any circumstances except maybe as a joke at the country club.

Bush Squanders a 500 million dollar surplus,gets us in two wars,Lies to congress,lies to the american people,lies to the world,outs a acting intelligence operative,neglects a major port city after a hurricane,de-regulates his banker buddies and then bankrolls them,tortures and breaks the geneva convention and the magna charte laws which have stood for nine centuries,supported the illegal
surveillance of the american people,supported price fixing of energy commodities,subverted the investigation into illegal disposal of whitehouse documents,grew the size of government by 40%,ran up a trillion plus dollar deficit,awarded support and donations with lucrative contracts for which little to no work was expected or returned etc
Impeachment is still off the table.
But when a hated Democrat suggests selling a senate seat,never mind that He did not actually do it.

Compared to all the assaults, chaos, and disaster left behind by Bushie Boy, Blago is a Saint and has done nothing wrong. I'm sick of hearing about it.... and I am sick of main stream media trying to paint him as Villain of the Year. We think that ...If the spotlight and microscope were truly focused on the right Bad Guys .... the names are Bushie Boy and Cheny Snake. That's our two cents/opinion!

Obama ought to make him an ambassador and send him to Kosovo!
The schnook would probably become chairman of their parliament

I watched a documentary about mental illness the other day. Some of the disorders were really bizarre.
As I was watching I could not help but think maybe Bago has an undiagnosed condition. This is the only thing I can think of to explain his post-arrest actions and comments.
I'm just sayin.

I heard Blago's speech yesterday.....Too bad he didn't mention he and his fellow Illinois officials got their paper work in too late and as a result Illinois loses $156 million dollars of federal funding.
