However the situation is not over yet. Do you think it still might happen?

1. He's looking like a class A nutjob...
But my head keeps telling me "innocent until proven guilty" which is wearing on me!

It bugs the hell out of me that it took so long to get the ball rolling on this, and that the media was fed so much before anything was nailed down... still not nailed down.

For the sake of the rest of us who could appear as a nutjob if the whole story wasn't yet told, I have to leave this one alone until we hear all.

That said, in a crisis situation, making yourself look more like a whacko instead of shutting the fuck up is just stupid.

3. He is not being charged with selling the Senate seat

He is being impeached for hundreds of deals that they have nailed down.

After watching the impeachment hearings here in Illinois, no one would believe for a second the man is not guilty. Of course we all knew he was a crook way before this. His approval ratings for the last several years are worse than Cheney's, they have been in the single digits.

4. I want to ask how the bleep he ever became a governor
but thats because I tend to be naive about how politics works.

7. He won two landslide elections by the PEOPLE of Illinois. Only they can
throw him out of office, not his political enemies who are hungering for a pawn they can push around.
