Governor Booed?

Snowing again. As we know:) Dug out my newspapers. Blago swears in his own jury today, including his sister in law, noon today:

"I think it's going to be eerie," Sen. Susan Garrett (D- Lake Forest) said Tuesday. "It's like being a part of a family where you're in a position to try to convict a family member—because we worked with him. Whether we liked him or didn't like him, we've been with him for six years."

A family member?--sorry, that's no excuse. Maybe that might work for Patti's sister [Deborah Mell], but she's just starting her term. Of course you could then ask how is it she got elected? The family business.

Throw them all out, before this state goes beyond dysfunctional to totally bankrupt. We already have moral bankruptcy. For some, the crowning blow may be that we've most certainly lost the Olympics. The Capone stench has overpowered the Barackstar aura. Ah, but as Kass notes, Obama has brought some of the Combine bi-partisanship to Washington, and into his cabinet.

P.S. On WLS, Roma wonders if Blago will be booed on the floor.

P.P.S. The lawyer who will conduct the impeachment on the Senate floor, beginning Jan. 26th, is apparently a man of parts:

Ellis has written five novels, including one involving a character named Tony Rezko, though it bore no relation to Blagojevich's top fundraiser and adviser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who was convicted on federal corruption charges. Ellis said there was "no significance" to the use of the name.
