The Madigans’ just enabled him.

There is simply no excuse for the Madigans’ performances over the last few weeks.  First, we get a hairbrained idea to declare the Governor incapacitated so we wait to begin the impeachment.

Next, we get a bond issue that needed a technical fix to the disclaimer regarding the Governor’s status and it takes nearly a week for the AG’s office after both Hynes and Giannoulias make their fixes in a day.  It costs the State of Illinois $20 Million in interest.

Then we get the long ‘thought out’ process from Madigan about how to impeach Blagojevich because you never know if some bogus criminal complaint could be made against Lisa ‘when’ she’s Governor and she could be impeached over nothing.  Something that makes sense for about two minutes until you realize that people could differentiate between the two circumstances. 

We then get fretting about how the Chief Justice might disallow some evidence in the Senate even though the Constitution gives him no such power. 

So we have Rod Blagojevich prancing around the state pretending to be Governor for the first time in 6 years and the Madigans worry about problems with incredibly obvious solutions.

If this is what it would be like to have a Speaker and Governor as father and daughter, I’ve had enough already. 

Today I turned on my TV while vacationing in Minnesota and the voice of reason is–Pat Quinn.  Heckuva a Job Madigans.
