" I did not do anything wrong."That's what more than one political figure has said in the last 15 years. Clinton may have lied to a whole nation saying that he did not commit sexual acts with Monika Lewinsky, but Rod Blagojevich was no where near being innocent on Thursday, January 29th, of 2009. The Illinois state senate voted 59-0 to remove Blagojevich from office and soon after lieutenant governor, Patrick Quinn, was sworn in as the state's 41st governor. Blagojevich had tried to sell Obama's vacant Senate seat, which he was interviewing people for and trying to get them to give him money for it. He also tried to force the Chicago Tribune into firing the editors that wrote negative pieces about him and hire patsies to replace them as well as extorting a charity organization.
