SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – 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 abuse of power, including allegations that he tried to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat.

What a jerk that guy is, wasting the time of the state with his selfish need to stay in power. If he had the interest of the citizens in mind, he would have stepped down when the charges were first made public. Bah. Glad I don't live there.
