Sorry it took me so long to post on this, but I was laughing too hard:

Blagojevich accused Obama of buying into a “very clever ruse by the McCain campaign” in making a phone call Wednesday to Illinois Senate President Emil Jones that sought an expedited vote on ethics legislation. Jones, who mentored Obama in the state Senate, agreed to call senators back to work Monday to deal with the governor’s rewrite of an ethics bill.

Many lawmakers said the governor’s changes would kill the bill, not strengthen it, and accused Jones of helping Blagojevich by delaying a vote. The governor said Obama’s involvement would only hurt his reform platform in the presidential race.

Blagojevich maintained that if the Senate joins the House in overriding his changes to the bill, then “sometime in October, in battleground states, you’ll be seeing TV ads that Republicans are putting up and the McCain campaign is putting up that will start accusing Sen. Obama of coming back to Illinois to help his old friends in the Illinois General Assembly.”

A complete divorce from reality is a sign of mental illness and would be sufficient cause to impeach the man. If there was any question, there no longer is.

In fact, loony is becoming standard terminology for people discussing the Governor:

Cynthia Canary, director of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, called Blagojevich’s comments “delusional” and “loony.” Her group opposed the governor’s changes and asked Obama to speak with Jones.
