The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has revoked embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich's access to classified federal security information, officials said Friday.

Amy Kudwa, spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security in Washington D.C., confirmed the revocation but declined to comment further on circumstances surrounding the decision.

Can they get Bambi’s too?

Good.

[gieriscm]

I’m surprised it took this long.

[Jet Jaguar]

Illinois National Guard appreciates it.

The hair sample found substances unknown to Man.

Homeland security officials talking to each other: Hey, I’ve got an idea, let’s pull Blago’s security clearance! For what reason sir? Well, then the media will be told and they can make him look like an ass by printing it, besides, It doesn’t change day-to-day operations very much at all.

Blago threatened to make public how many illegal immigrants live in Illinois, and the DHS couldn’t handle the truth being exposed...

[PGalt]

Very interesting...how this game is unfolding.

So is Dubya “reaching across the isle” to help the Dems save face again with this, or what?

[wildandcrazyrussian]

Would this affect his privilege of entering the US Senate chamber as Governor (especially if escorting newly-appointed Senator Burris)?

[shadowcat]

So he can't fly right?

: )

It doesn’t change day-to-day operations very much at all.

Unless something really bad happens, like a terrorist attack on the 3rd largest city in the country...

[Tailgunner Joe]

Why? Is he known to associate with unrepentant terrorists or something?

[bigbob]

One more nail in Hot Rods coffin. It’s getting easier to prove his ability to govern is impaired. He just better remember who REALLY runs the city he lives in before that coffin becomes real rather than figurative.

[freekitty]

I agree with you. How come the Gov has no clerance but Obambi does? If Obambi really does.

>>>Unless something really bad happens, like a terrorist attack on the 3rd largest city in the country...<<<

That probably wouldn't take a security clearance to notice...or to respond to.

Stopping one would...and in that case, I'm more worried about whether DUH1 [Obama] should have one or not than I am about Blago.

[Salvation]

Time to make some popcorn.

[HardStarboard]

>>>If Obambi really does.<<<

He's been recieving classified security briefings since he was voted President-elect.

Evidently the majority of the American people trust him with sensetive information....and it matters little if we don't.
