Connecticut to Begin Impeachment Probe of Governor
HARTFORD, Conn. (Reuters) - Connecticut lawmakers will begin an impeachment probe of Republican Gov. John Rowland amid corruption allegations, a move that could lead to his ouster, the speaker of the state House of Representatives said on Wednesday.

Democratic House Speaker Moira Lyons told reporters of her decision to launch the probe after she met privately with Rowland, who has been accused of accepting free renovations on his lakeside cottage from contractors who were also working for the state.

1. How fast they get probes going
when they want..They need to get working on the RIGHT probe and oust the imposter NOW, not later. I've read it would take until the election, but this whacko was never elected, so what's the holdup!?

4. They haven't gotten rid of him
and they might not ever. He's stated he's not running again. If the investigation finds something (I'd be amazed if it didn't) then maybe they will. I will celebrate only when I hear his concession!

5. Did you hear the comment he made regarding impeaching him?
I'll admit I don't know much about his case but I was sort of routing for the guy to hang in there. But after his comment about being careful to bring forth impeachment or else other lawmakers deeds will come to light. I thought, what an arrogant ahole. I could only imagine if Clinton had something like that.

7. I sense that you're not from Connecticut
or I don't think you'd have ever rooted for this dirtball corrupt wifebeating bribe taking job-disintegrating cocksucker. I could be wrong.

8. Please remember Bush CT Election Chair
Please remember, refer to the Governor as Bush Election Chair for Connecticut.

6. Shouldn't take much "probing" since he has pretty much admitted everything
Or at least enough to throw his ass out.
