Blago has to preside or else he risks getting arrested again for failing to perform his constitutional duties, at least according to a legal analyst on Chicago Tonight the other night. We all know he had no problem flouting the law and getting arrested once, but I think even Blago is wise enough not to risk getting arrested twice. At least I think he is.....

Very dangerous combination: stones and crazy. I've got to say though, every time I talk to a friend or relative from another state, the first comment they make is something about our crazy governor. I think he's tainted me!

"they're not saying 'boo,' they're saying 'Boo-gojevich!'" those poor doomed lackies.

I wonder if Emil Jones is going to try to start a Disney movie slow clap.

Most definitely Ingrid, probably a mix of both. He's certainly out of touch, there's no doubt about that.

Well he might as well show up for the swearing in, since we now know that he is a master at swearing.

I think the swearing in is Wednesday as in this week, not next as stated above.

I don't think it's stones though, I think it's a massive set of crazy.

Funny thing, a new senate rule about taking your shoes off at the door to the chamber just went into effect Jan. 1 I, for one, can't wait to hear more poetry.

"I think he should just stay away." Oh but you know he won't. I gotta say, in some ways I almost admire the massive set of stones he's got on him.
