Looks like the formal impeachment of Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-IL) by the full House of Representatives of the Illinois General Assembly will come down today in the wake of Thursday's unanimous (21-0) recommendation by a House panel that they get on with the deed.
The House panel --interested as they are in the particulars associated with his (ahem) controversial appointment, by the man who defeated him in the Democratic primary race for governor six years ago, to the fill out the remainder of President-elect Barack Obama's term in the United States Senate-- heard suitably embarrassing testimony from Senator-designate and career mediocrity Roland Burris yesterday. It was a performance only in keeping with that given by his inquisitors.
Here's part one of a video feed, and here's the second part.
I've spent the last many years sparing myself the insufferable witness of downstate Republican legislators in action; yesterday's proceedings sufficed to remind me of the wisdom of that course. They're the ones on the right.
