Believe me Harold,we were all jumping for joy when this happened yesterday.  This governor is absolute joke inthis state.  It would't make any difrference what city he came from.  His arrogance is legendar here in Illinois.  The politicians here in this state are scrambling to do one of many things.  Impeachment, special election of a new senator and begging this jerk to resign which is what Obama has asked him to do.  Rod's wife is up to her eyeballs in this mess too. 

He was such a pariah here that the Obama people wouldn't even let him speak at the convention in August.  No honest person wants anything to do with him.  He was never included in any of the downstate campaigns the past several years because that's tanamount to cutting your own throat, being seen with him. 

He refused to live in Springfield, the capitol of the state so the governor's mansion sat vacant the past 6 years and he flew (at taxpayers expense) back and forth to Chicago which totally galled those of us who live down here.  He stole jobs from our area and moved them either to Chicago or to some burg in southern Illinois (probably because of a bribe).  He hated those of us in Springfield.

I can't believe he graduated from law school.  He reminds me of "W" in the brains department.

By the way, his power to appoint if state law so the law needs to be changed.  We can't even stop him from appointing himself, which he still might do.  Of curse, the senate could refuse to seat him so that might be moot.  However, never put anything past this jerk.  He acts like nothing is wrong and unicorns and fairies live under that toadstool in the backyard. 

So we face this situation with a big "YEH" and get the bastard outta there right away.  Now we will see if he does the right thing and resigns.  Don't hold your breath on that tho.

Gotta get back to work.  Just popped in to see what the room had to say about this.  I was sick last nite so didn't do computerstuff at all.
