The Senate is looking to reconvene to pass a bill for a Special Election for US Senator.
But here is the problem, Blagojevich doesn’t have to act on it immediately and in the mean time could make the appointment assuming he can find someone stupid enough to take it. Let’s assume he can. This means getting him out of the way is essential and the way to do that would be going to the Supreme Court and get Quinn named as acting Governor because Blagojevich cannot carry out his duties. During that period we can impeach him and Quinn is likely amenable to a special election given his predisposition towards the people.

Umm, I think you suggested that he should appoint himself.
