Rod Blagojevich has been in New York for the last two days trashing the impeachment proceedings in the Illinois State Senate as a "kangaroo court." But in about 30 minutes he will go before that body and offer a "closing argument" in his defense. I cannot wait.

Senators are predicting a unanimous vote. Apparently, his things from the Governor's mansion have already been boxed up and the swearing in ceremony for Lt. Governor Pat Quinn is all set to go.

The whole thing has the feel of an episode of American Idol where they ask the contestant who just got kicked off the show to sing one more time for the crowd as the credits roll.
