Illinois lawmakers send Gov. Rod Blagojevich packing

It comes as no surprise that the Illinois State Senate voted unanimously to remove Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich from office.  The deposed governor had begged the Senate to give him a chance to prove his innocence.  He’s plea went unmet.

Illinois Senators also voted in a measure to prevent Blagojevich from ever holding office in Illinois again.  After watching the former Governor on his media tour this week, I think the dude is in serious need of some psychological help.  Maybe he can get some help while he’s doing time.
