Blagojevich

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illinois State Senate on Thursday convicted Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich on a sprawling article of impeachment that charged him with abusing his power. The vote prompted the governor’s immediate and permanent ouster, and ended nearly two months of political spectacle in which he sought unsuccessfully to salvage his reputation and career here and across the country.

The senators also voted to permanently bar him from seeking public office in Illinois.

Apparently has only happened 8 times ever, and the first in 21 years.

Him getting impeached was pretty much a given considering all the damning evidence. I still don't understand why he just didn't resign. Oh, well...life goes on.
