Blagojevich Outdoes his Previous Grandstanding Behavior at Press Conferance Today

Chicago governor Blagojevich just outdid himself in outrageous behavior. He scheduled a press conference and after an anxious wait by reporters he was preceeded to the front of the room by several persons. He then arrived considerably later, walked in as if he had been voted the most popular man in America and began a long rambling speech about why the Illinois House has voted to impeach him. According to Blagojevich it is because he helped enact legislation that helped the people on stage with him when they were desperately ill. He told about the circumstances of each person's illness and the specific legislation that saved their life. After each one he said; "And that is why the House wants to impeach me."

The man is clearly a megalomaniac.

It was theater at its best and worst.

Illinois House Impeaches Governor

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- The Illinois House voted overwhelmingly Friday to impeach Gov. Rod Blagojevich, an unprecedented action that sets up a Senate trial on whether he should be thrown out for allegedly trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat.


Impeachment required just 60 votes. The final result was 114-1.
Legislators accused the second-term Democratic governor of letting down the people of Illinois by letting ego and ambition drive his decisions.
''It's our duty to clean up the mess and stop the freak show that's become Illinois government,'' said Rep. Jack D. Franks, a Democrat.
