House Votes to Impeach Blagojevich & Burris Changes His Story


The vote to impeach Blagojevich was 114 - 1. Too bad we couldn't find people like this when we could have saved some lives by impeaching Bush.

As to Wannabe Senator Roland Burris, the plot thickens:

Appearing before an Illinois House impeachment committee, Burris acknowledged that he had reached out to a close friend and former chief of staff to embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich to discuss the Senate seat. That appears to contradict Burris' statement in a sworn affidavit that he had no contact with any of the governor's "representatives." The former chief of staff, Alonzo Monk, is named as "Lobbyist 1" in the criminal complaint, and ran Blagojevich's most recent reelection campaign.
