    They voted 59-0 to oust him. I'm glad he's disgusting. I hope he goes to jail for a long long time. Plus he has bad hair.

    He was caught trying to sell the senate seat of now president Barack Obama. The governor is supposed to appoint a senator in cases like this. They caught him on wiretap saying "I've got this thing and it's (expletive) golden, and I'm just not giving it up for (expletive) nothing. I'm not gonna do it,"

    Not only trying to sell Obama's senate seat, he tried to shake down a children's hospital and dog track for campaign donations. Also he tried to get a member of the Chicago Tribune editorial staff fired for writing things about him that he did not like.

    The thing is that Blagojevich never actually sold the senate seat, so he technically didn't do anything wrong, as much as we know how corrupt he is. That's why this trial was hard to start with...no evidence, and no actions done.

    Not sure if they could bag him with conspiracy to commit corruption though :\ .
     
  9. Um... I don't mean to sound like a queen, but I don't really know much about what he did so...

    His hair needs work.

    yeah i live in illinois, and believe me, were a huge state and we all know how corrupt his politics were, and were excited that he's out. had we known, action would have been taken earlier. hes by no means a measure of what politicians or power-heads condone in this state.

    yeah i have family in nebraska, MAJOR kudos for being out there, i would never be able to come out in nebraska to my family, they're all way too conservative, it just wouldnt work out for me.

    With all this discussion of Nebraska, I thought of this:

    For Donnie and the rest of us metro-Omahans, I just wish that last line were a bit more true.
