Bye Bye Blago

You will not be missed:

The Illinois Senate unanimously voted to expel embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) from office.

That means Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn (D) becomes the state’s new governor.

Update: Also,

Moments after removing him from office, the Illinois senate voted unanimously to prevent impeached Gov. Rod Blagojevich from ever holding political office in the state again.

Because Blago is exactly the kind of person who would try and run again.
