They want to get him out of office before he can damage Obama any more.

also, they want him gone before he can get his hands on the probable billions of aid that will come to the states from the “stimulus bill”.

Going after Rahm Emanuel did himself no favors. If I was Blago I’d get back to the Governors jet and get back to Chicago while he is still eligible for the ride.

Here it is:

The current text of the House stimulus bill includes the following interesting provision:
None of the funds provided by this Act may be made available to the State of Illinois, or any agency of the State, unless (1) the use of such funds by the State is approved in legislation enacted by the State after the date of the enactment of this Act, or (2) Rod R. Blagojevich no longer holds the office of Governor of the State of Illinois. The preceding sentence shall not apply to any funds provided directly to a unit of local government (1) by a Federal department or agency, or (2) by an established formula from the State.
