COMMENTS: Bye-Bye Blago
Rod Blagojevich is Governor of Illinois no more. By a unanimous 59-0 vote the state senate approved articles of impeachment and removed him from office. All three newscasts had a correspondent cover his return from his national media tour to Springfield where he gave a futile speech in his own defense. What sort of figure did he cut as he went down to defeat? "Defiant to the very end"--NBC's Kevin Tibbles…"By turns defiant and deferential"--CBS' Cynthia Bowers…"Defiant to the bitter end"--ABC's Chris Bury. "Having lost his job he has something else big to worry about," Bury added, "that federal criminal prosecution."
