BBC and NY Times reporting....
"Illinois Governor Guilty of Abuse" -BBC
"Blagojevich Has His Final Say, Making Day of it" -NY Times
Gotta love this passage from the New York Times piece...
"As the nine-seat airplane raced through the skies on Thursday somewhere between Springfield and here, an onboard telephone began to ring. Rod R. Blagojevich, the soon-to-be ex-governor of Illinois, instructed his aides not to answer. It might be the news, he said, that he had been removed from office and that he no longer controlled the state’s thousands of employees or even, especially pertinent, the state-owned airplane taking him home."
The Illinois Governor's office website has already made the switch. Former Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn is the new Gov.
Good call on this one. The guy's a creep.
