Goobernatorial: A Special Report
Monday, December 15th, 2008 • Filed under Other
Just about everyone in this corner of the world, even the people who haven’t picked up a newspaper since they saw OJ’s mugshot on the cover, knows about the saga or Rod Blagojevich. Even he isn’t safe from the dumb fairy.
Blagojevich for those of you who don’t know and should be ashamed of yourselves has been accused of using his influence as Illinois’ governor to threaten, intimidate and profit off of his various appointments, according to Reuters.
The dumb part is Blagojevich’s next move after the feds announced they were investigating him. He steadfastily refused to give up his seat because nothing proves your innocence in an abuse of power scandal than refusing to give up the seat you tried to profit off of for months.
It gets worse. Everyone and their mother are asking him to resign: state and U.S. senators, the attorney general, even the most influential and powerful man in the country, nay the world, right now. Oh and don’t forget little ol’ President Bush.
So of course, rumors are flying that Blagojevich will take the high road and resign. But the New York Times reports that he won’t be resigning anytime soon or “today or tomorrow,” according to his spokesperson. Something tells me that if he doesn’t leave office soon, God is about to make his first major appearance since Noah’s flood.

I guess the guy had a shoe fetish; stupid thing to go to jail over!

BlagoGate wouldn’t be nearly as bad if we didn’t have to keep seeing his hair on the news. If this guy would just learn how to “part his hair,” it wouldn’t be so depressing! (Where’s Moses when you need him?)

I prefer to call him Blagoyabitch. I live in Illinois and it is so embarrassing. Weve known he was corrupt for years. Hes been stealing money from private organizations and he destroyed our tollway system too. I think Illinois citizens should be aloud to drag him out of office if he wont resign.

He never resigned. He was kicked out by a vote of 59 to 0. In his final appearance before the Illinois Senate as governor, after vowing to NOT appear to speak in his defense, gave a lengthy speech complaining about the unfairness of it all. He is now barred for life from running for an elected office in Illinois.
