there are 118 IL house members. one of them had passed away, one of them is flying to spfld right now, and one is a rep. named ken dunkin, an ally of blago’s. maybe his only ally left?
so, there are at least 115 speeches to be made. it’s going to go on a while. it’s pretty interesting, though; i’m listening on WUIS 91.9 while reading the capitol flax blog…OK WAIT A MINUTE…madigan is saying that NOBODY ELSE WANTS TO SPEAK, except. rep. currie.
here’s an especially good quote, Rep. Susana Mendoza, “It’s amazingly fitting that Governor Blagojevich face impeachment today of all days. On his self admitted hero Richard Nixon’s birthday. Their common bond of impeachment will unite them in history’s dark annals of corruption, but even Nixon displayed more integrity than Blagojevich by resigning before he was impeached.”
