Blago reimpeached

Last week Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich became only the eighth US governor to be impeached. Earlier today he probably became the only governor to be impeached twice.

Today's vote was a procedural one, the new Illinois House of Representatives was sworn in today, the old one voted to impeach Blago last week.

In other news from Springfield, the gangster-guv swore in the new Illinois state Senate. These are the men and women who will serve as Blagojevich's jury when he goes on trial later this month.
