*** RACIAL PUSHBACK *** Well, this is interesting. There’s some pushback on the African-American play by Gov. Blagojevich. Exhibit 70 is written testimony by a former IDOT employee who said she tried to investigate allegations that job applicants were being coached on their employment test. The alleged idea was to get around minority hiring laws. When the employee investigated, she was fired.
*** 2:46 pm *** Former gubernatorial aide Bob Arya says Blagojevich should be ordered to get psychiatric evaluation…
But when Arya’s run with Blagojevich came to an end, he had a story to tell — one of intense jealousies by the governor toward President-elect Barack Obama, House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago) and others, a terrorized staff, and emotional instabilities that Arya said demonstrate the need for a psychological evaluation by the legislative panel weighing the governor’s impeachment.

What's next? Assuming that House vote occurs tomorrow and is successful , the next step will be for the state Senate to hold a full trial, which could take a few weeks. Blago will probably be out of office as soon as early February, if not sooner.

Burris messed up his story and it had more holes then Swiss Cheese. Burris was looking to get the Obama seat in July when no one knew he would be selected. He's as much as a snake as G-Rod. Now for a former AG to say he never read the complaint filed against the G-Rod when it's all over the blog and the news you have to wonder what's really going on. G-Rod is all over the press yet Burris plays dumb. He's showing he's just as much a crook as G-Rod. Even the people of Illinois don't want him as their Senator.
