Lisa Madigan's comments to reporters from the Chicago Tribune's Clout Street, MONIQUE GARCIA.
How is a dramatic early morning staged for national media arrest followed by a Lincoln would roll over in his grave press conference and release of audiotapes that have nothing to do with the impeachment getting a fair trial?
LISA MADIGAN: The governor is making a mockery of the law, he’s making a mockery of the constitution. The whole concept of impeachment has been enshrined in not just Illinois law, but in federal law, from the beginning of our country. It’s talked about in the Federalist Papers, and so for him to claim he’s not going to get any kind of a fair trial and fair process is absolutely absurd.
He’s choosing to not participate, that’s something completely different than not availing yourself of a process and so in some ways, it’s almost admitting that he has nothing to say in his defense, despite what he’s saying on all these talk shows.
We can’t move our state forward at this point until Gov. Blagojevich is out of office and we have a new governor. I look forward to that day and hope it takes place this week.
She's been looking forward to that day for a long time just like everyone else but she said nothing before he was reelected. She's pist she didn't get the senate seat. They all have their own axe to grind and their won personal agendas. On top of that he pulled a fast one with Burris and has brought unwelcome attention to Chicago politics that has always been and will always be how Chicago operates.
OLBERMANN: "Meanwhile a clean Illinois politician" talking about barry. And MARGARET CARLSON: "he hasn't been on the wrong side of the bet in the last two years" and then she actually said that the obama's are the "most famous first family".
Why?
