    Blagojevich Got The Boot

    By Cartoosh  |  Posted January 30, 2009  |  Chicago, Illinois
     
    Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was thrown out of office Thursday. The Illinois Senate voted 59-0 to convict him of abuse of power in related to his attempt to profit from the U.S. Senate seat left open by President Obama. Even so, he is still going to face the corruption charges from the federal prosecutors. The now former Gov. argued that he did nothing wrong and that there is no sufficient evidence to support such verdict. "You haven't proved a crime, and you can't, because it didn't happen, " Blagojevich told the law makers. Outside of his Chicago home Thursday night, he said to the reporters that he'll "keep fighting to clear my name." He then added: "I love the people of Illinois today more than I ever have been before." Visit Cartoosh at *http://cartoosh.blogspot.com
