Seven weeks to impeachment?

These next seven weeks could be the longest Illinoisans have experienced in a quite a while.

Were not talking about anticipation building for the start of baseball’s spring training, we’re referring to the date when Gov. Rod Blagojevich might be impeached.

Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, the man who would replace Blagojevich when he is forced from office, predicted Sunday that Blagojevich would be bounced by the time we celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s bicentennial birthday Feb. 12.

How fitting. Blagojevich is responsible for closing state historic sites, including some with ties to Lincoln, in his latest budget-cutting fiasco.

The governor won’t go quietly. He’ll fight, fight, fight until the end. Seems appropriate for a former Golden Gloves boxer.
