Breathtaking as it is, Illinois Review agrees with the Chicago Tribune today. We agree it's time State Senator Emil Jones and this Democratic allies were held responsible for protecting a governor that has become a national embarrassment.
We actually prefer impeachment proceedings to begin in the House, but since a recall measure has already passed the House and had momentum until it hit the panelled walls of the Illinois Senate, we'll support the Tribune's call and agree Blagojevich's protective Democratic Senate posse' should be called out, one by one:
- Emil Jones is responsible for protecting Blagojevich, 217-782-2728
