    Ill. gov unanimously convicted, tossed from office

    Gov. Rod Blagojevich was unanimously convicted at his impeachment trial and thrown out of office Thursday, ending a nearly two-month crisis that erupted with his arrest on charges he tried to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat. Blagojevich becomes the first U.S. governor in more than 20 years to be removed by impeachment.

    After a four-day trial, the Illinois Senate voted 59-0 to convict him of abuse of power, automatically ousting the second-term Democrat. Democratic Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn, one of his critics, immediately became governor.

    He should make lemonade by pursuing a lucrative career as an Elvis impersonator.

    I watched him babbling on Larry King-proclaiming how 'innocent' he is. He's a real worm and very full of himself. Glad they booted him quickly so he doesn't get any more air time.

    Blago may try to take some people with him.

    He still is facing a possible Federal indictment.

    Hes already been indicted on federal charges. He just posted bail. Did you guys hear how he was crying they didn't give him a chance to stand up for himself? Even though he's been ignoring the requests for him to appear? I lol @ him!

    Blago calls himself the 'Anti-Nixon'. I guess because Nixon wasn't a crook.

    Obama should appoint to Blago to something so that he pays his taxes.
