Blagojevich convicted. removed by Illinois State SenateOver the wire services, looking for a link. Blagojevich has been a bleeding sore for some time, re-elected only because of the disarray of the Republican Party in Illinois, a state which seems to make high level corruption a way of life. However, serious moves for his impeachment and removal only began when Fitzgerald released tapes that had the governor conspiring to sell the appointment to the US Senate Seat vacancy. These tapes had expletive laden hard sell in them, and shocked the nation. The Illinois legislature dithered, allowing Blagojevich to appoint Rolad Burris, and the Senate then capitulated on seating the former state wide elected official.
