Blago!
January 31st, 2009 by Nick Saint(h/t CWB)
Oh, Blago, what will we do without you? The Dapper Don of Illinois politcs has been ousted. After convicting him, the senators passed a bill barring him from any future public office in the state, just for fun. If this bill was actually necessary, Illinois is beyond hope. Also, Wikipedia tells me that every state constitution forbids bills of attainder, and Illinois is a state, so I think we’ve got a syllogism on our hands. In any event, Blago did not go gently into that good night, delivering a passionate and deeply psychotic defense to lawmakers:
I suspect - and hope - we have not seen the last of Rod Blagojevich.
