Ha, ha 114-1.
Poor lonely peckerhead; he has no friends.

good riddance.

Amazing how fast government can act when they want to.

Does anyone know who the 1 vote against impeachment was?

Kelbel: Does anyone know who the 1 vote against impeachment was?

Probably a relative..:)

Kelbel: Does anyone know who the 1 vote against impeachment was?

Sorry, my bad.

GaryPDX: Amazing how fast government can act when they want to.

Eh, it's still been a month (to the day) since he was first indicted. That's still too slow. In the mean time he still got to appoint the Senator he wanted.

Kelbel: Does anyone know who the 1 vote against impeachment was?

Rep. Milt Patterson

Kelbel: Does anyone know who the 1 vote against impeachment was?

From Wikipedia: "(one voted present)"

It was Barack Obama!

IndyMBA: Rep. Milt Patterson

Thanks.

Kelbel: IndyMBA: Rep. Milt Patterson

Thanks.

I just wonder what his motivation for voting against the impeachment is because it sure as Hell isn't going to help any future re-election campaign.

I still find it strange that the Fark Independents aren't furiously digging through the archives for something the other party did 30 years ago and... oh wait, never mind.

I guess we also won't have to see a firestorm of NewsMax, American Thinker, PowerLine, and other floor-humping headlines all afternoon screaming about persecution and defending the scumbag.

The system may be slow, but it's good to see it working.

GaryPDX: Amazing how fast government can act when they want to.

Except they didn't act very fast, considering. Blaggy still had time to triple dog dare Reid not to sit that nice black man in the Senate.

FTFA: "Rep. Milt Patterson (D-Chicago) was the lone vote against impeaching the governor. Patterson, from Chicago's Southwest Side, said after the roll call that he didn't feel it was his job to vote to impeach the governor."

I wonder what dirt Blago has on this guy...

Rev. Skarekroe: I wonder what dirt Blago has on this guy...

Perhaps he things Blago will win on this, and he'll have a new BFF.

HA HA!

RON PAUL

This is bad news...for Obama.

I must say if you think Obama is clean of corruption you have never lived in Chicago and do not understand that corruption is a way of life in politics in Chicago. Yeah I did live there.

Isn't this a classic case of too little, too late?

So long, Blago. We won't miss you.

Good.

I found it rather amusing that he was going to "fight to his last breath" for his innocence.

You "fight to your last breath" when you're getting robbed at gunpoint.

Good for them. It's nice to see someone in a position of authority face consequences.

Good. This is a joke.

I joined an orchestra that had it's first rehearsal yesterday. As I introduced myself to my stand partner, he asked where I'm from originally. After I told him I'm from Chicago, all he could talk about was Blagojevich. It's embarrassing.

Where does that meme come from?

Why the *$%& not??

Blagojevich has taken another step closer to becoming Bubba's new vich.

GaryPDX: Kelbel: Does anyone know who the 1 vote against impeachment was?

ftfy

/any vote in the US house that is only 1 vote against something, it's always RON PAUL!

Time for Blago to blame this on the Russians for stealing our semen and water.

OreJen: FTFA: "Rep. Milt Patterson (D-Chicago) was the lone vote against impeaching the governor. Patterson, from Chicago's Southwest Side, said after the roll call that he didn't feel it was his job to vote to impeach the governor."

Well just who's job does he think it is? Does he also not think it's his job to vote on legislation? Get that guy out of office too. Where do they find these people?

Hagbardr: Kelbel: Does anyone know who the 1 vote against impeachment was?

Robbed again. Twice in one 24-hour period.

theorellior: So long, Blago. We won't miss you.

Though I get the feeling that the wonderful residents of Chicagoland will happily vote in the next guy, who'll do the same exact thing - but just be a bit more discreet...

This should have happened a month ago. The minute that pompous douchebag refused to step down someone should have physically dragged his ass out and put him on the street. Preferably it would have been done by Mr. T.

I'm not exactly an expert on the Illinois Constitution but isn't it a specifically defined part of his job?

I pity the fool who sells a vacant senate seat.

/low hanging fruit

See? Now, look how easy that was, federal congress and senate. If little bitty ohio can do it, so can you.

Why do I have a feeling this thread is going to be epic?

Also wtf was taking them so long?

/Now if we can just find a reason to get rid of Corzine (Douchebag-NJ)

A ghei (NTTAWWT) Mr. T, a la Eddie Murphy?

Jonathan Hohensee: tonesskin: This is bad news...for Obama.

Good question, I think people just started saying it. Might have been a line from one of the concern trolls. In any case, the meme is bad news... for Obama.

What about his hairpiece?

Unknown_Poltroon: See? Now, look how easy that was, federal congress and senate. If little bitty ohio can do it, so can you.

um....

randomizetimer: I must say if you think Obama is clean of corruption you have never lived in Chicago and do not understand that corruption is a way of life in politics in Chicago. Yeah I did live there.

So did I, while Obama was in office. He did a good job of staying away from the corrupt types, from what I could tell. He knew he wanted to be POTUS and not a career Illinois politician. So he had little to gain. Especially considering that Illinois always votes Democrat for President lately.
