So, This Happened ...

Last week disgraced former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who was  impeached, removed from office, convicted, and incarcerated for eight years on federal charges of public corruption and who, after leaving prison, filed a lawsuit challenging the state resolution prohibiting him from running for any state or local office in Illinois was taken to task by the judge in his case.

In dismissing Blagojevich’s 2021 suit, U.S. District Judge Steven Seeger accused the former governor of using the federal courthouse as a megaphone in an attempt to get back in the political game following the commutation of his 14-year prison sentence by the former president, a criminal himself.

Seeger quoted from Dr. Seuss’ 1972 book “Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!” when he said:

“The time has come. The time is now. Just Go. Go. GO! I don’t care how. You can go by foot. You can go by cow. Marvin K. Mooney, will you please go now!”

Blago got Seuss’d!
