SPRINGFIELD, Ill. --

The Illinois Supreme Court has refused to hear a challenge to Gov. Rod Blagojevich's fitness to hold office.

A spokesman said Wednesday that the court rejected the challenge without comment.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan had argued Blagojevich's legal and political troubles are keeping him from performing his duties.

She had argued they amount to a disability, so Blagojevich should have his authority removed temporarily.

1. Why would they? Blago is obviously out of shape. I doubt he could do a single sit-up or push-up.

2. No way in hell they should, if our laws mean anything, which after the last 8 years, I don't think

they do anymore.

The law that they were trying to use is for the physical imparement of a governor. It would have been a travisty to warp law like that. Even if GWB done it for 8 years.
