The Illinois House voted overwhelmingly Friday to impeach Gov. Rod Blagojevich, an unprecedented action that sets up a Senate trial on whether he should be thrown out for abuse of power, including allegations that he tried to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat.
Impeachment required just 60 votes. The final result was 114-1.
Legislators accused the second-term Democratic governor of letting down the people of Illinois by letting ego and ambition drive his decisions.
"It's our duty to clean up the mess and stop the freak show that's become Illinois government," said Rep. Jack D. Franks, a Democrat.
Blagojevich was out jogging in his Chicago neighborhood when the vote came down. His office declined to comment, but said he would issue a statement Friday afternoon.

This was just some of the article, but you get the gist of it. Anyway it was pretty obvious that this was going to happen, only now it's official. It will be interesting to see what he says about it.
He should feel so ashamed by his actions. He completely put the spotlight on himself, and is now begging for his position back! Can you believe it? He has NO face to show.
Until the tapes are released to the public (If they chose to do so), I'm going to reserve judgement on this one. It just doesn't make any sense that Blago and his defense team would go the route they did unless what they said was true. The same could be said about the prosecutor.
