I watched him on the news tonight and he is making a fool of himself. They voted to impeach him and he is ranting that he will still be working for the ones that voted for him....on person of the week was the lady that blew the whistle on him....for doing other things that were very unethical.....like only passing or giving things to organizations that would use only certainn contractors etc....she is the one that called the FBI and was used to catch him.

She should be proud of herself for standing up for the truth.

I think he is showing himself to be an unstable whackjob. If the transcripts of his conversations are real, and why wouldn't they be?, he is unethical and a real creep. He was supposed to be doing what was best for the state, not for his own pockets and political power. Impeachment is what he deserves and worse. I hope they really throw the book at him. Illinois needs to be a little more careful with who they elect to the governorship. First Ryan and now Blagojevich.

I think this type of corruption is pretty rampant anyway, he got caught. But also look at his thuggish ways scare me as well. I am glad that they are uncovering this type of behavior. I bet he could get re elected.

I don't believe that he was on on thins one alone. I think there are many more involved. They just haven't been caught yet. It is sad that there are so many crooked politicians. What's even worse is that we put these people into office. I lived in Illinois when he was elected into office, and I remember that alot of people in my community were unhappy with him then, and disappointed that he was elected. Maybe they knew something that those who voted for him did not????
