What a Perfect Set-Up for Rod

Who could have predicted?
The Original Problem Was Created By Blagojevich
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.
Roland Your Reputation Up
Classy last act Roland. No one is going to seat you and you just enabled one desperate asshole to get some attention.
I mean everyone thought no one in Illinois would ever accept such an appointment–other than those of us who know Illinois politics.
Who Could Have Predicted?
That Rod Blagojevich would do something crazy….
I mean, who would ever guess he’d do that?
What a Relaxing Vacation
Drove up to southwest Minnesota just over the South Dakota border–beautiful scenery, snowing today–relaxing after the long drive. What could be better?
Oh yeah, to the Illinois House who decided to take this slow
I TOLD YOU SO!
Mr. Balanoff told Ms. Jarrett that he told the Governor that it would never happen. Jarrett concurred.
Report on Blagojevich contacts with the incoming administration is pretty boring.
Balanoff’s idea of running it up the flag pole was to nod yes and then not do anything about it other than to relay it to Jarrett with the obvious conclusion that wasn’t going to happen.
Rich’s comparison to Howard Hughes seems especially relevant here.
Governors with Shame
Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who resigned in disgrace, had this response to a query from a Financial Times writer about how he was enjoying life as a columnist for an online magazine
• • Quoth Spitzer: “It sucks,” he said. “I used to be governor of New York.”

End it Now
Sam Adams just told us their strategy:
“I am absolutely certain that I will be absolutely vindicated,” he said, before turning the press conference over to his criminal defense lawyers. One of them, Sam Adams Jr., told the press that Christmas week was far too soon for Blagojevich to conclude that he was crippled and leave office, and that he’d consider questions like that closer to Easter.
Let me make this incredibly clear to the Lege–you are leaving this delusional idiot in charge of the state every day you drag this out. Finish it before Christmas or there will be a voter outcry like you’ve never seen. We know what we need to know to remove him. Just do it–now.
