Blago Watch: Senators about to vote whether to convict |
|
The senators are back in the Chamber and it was just announced that each Senator will have the right to speak for 5 minutes. First Senator up now- Ames (D). After the speeches, they vote. They'll undoubtedly vote to convict, but will they also vote to ban Blago from Illinois politics forever?
Live on C-Span.

They could ban him from getting his own talk show on CNN, Fox or MSNBC. There already too many washed up politicians and criminals on those networks.

7. I heard some of Blago's address to the Senate. |
|
When he tried to excuse what he did because they should all know that's the way things work, then stick a fork in him because he was done. That is one of the most stupid arguments I have ever heard anyone give in their own defense.

13. sure, but it's kinda interesting that only pukes are speaking |
|

16. Democrats just want it over with. |
|
But there is one thing I would like to hear them say. "When we catch a fellow Democrat being crooked, we impeach him. We can only hope our Republican colleagues remember this if they ever find themselves in the same position."

23. I looked at one of the local stations in Chicago ... |
|
I think NBC, and there was an article that Lt Gov is ready to be sworn in today. His 91 year old mother and his sons are in Springfield.

There's much corruption in governments across this nation, and it's about time we do something about it.

22. They get 5 minutes each and they have 59 Senators in the Illinois Senate. |

Edited on Thu Jan-29-09 04:10 PM by originalpckelly
We're going to be here a while if they can't shut it sooner.
We could be listening to this for 3-4 hours. God, I hate blathering idiots, they know they've got the national stage.

25. Where's the live Blago-cam? |
|
Will this be like Mars attacks? When they play country-western music, their little heads explode and the slime drips down the inside of the glass helmets.....
Will there be white broncos involved?
Who's gonna send in the national guard when the nutcase seals himself inside the state office?
