Illinois State Worker: "Do we need to throw a shoe?"
Edited on Fri Jan-30-09 11:22 AM by Renew Deal
SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (CNN) -- Workers at the Illinois Capitol building wasted little time Thursday night changing the face of state government, shortly after Gov. Pat Quinn replaced the ousted Rod Blagojevich.
<snip>

Maintenance crews arrived, first removing the gold nameplate with Blagojevich's name. Using drills and a ladder, they then brought down the 5-foot-high sign to make the official change.

Workers also removed the former governor's official state picture positioned atop a state outline and a silhouette of Abraham Lincoln.

"Was that quick enough?" one worker said to laughter. An employee standing nearby as the picture was taken away said, "Do we need someone to throw a shoe?" :rofl:
Moments later, the picture of Quinn was placed where Blagojevich's picture used to be. :party:
