What Would Cincinnatus Do?

Rod Blagojevich misconduct has got me thinking on political scandals, you know the kind where we attach -gate to the end of it. So what do we call this one, Senate seat salegate, Illinois governorgate, or most likely Blago-gate? (It be interesting to see how many young people really know what that -gate means.) The Attorney General of the state, Lisa Madigan, has decided to ask the State Supreme Court to remove him from office. According to the New York Times,

Ms. Madigan argued in court papers that “the pervasive nature and severity” of a federal corruption case against Mr. Blagojevich had rendered him “incapable of legitimately exercising his ability as governor.”

I don't how this would work. He hasn't been convicted of anything yet. Can he be removed just for being accused of something? (I'm playing devil's advocate here.) She also asked for a restraining order if the high court decides not to remove him. Essentially that just stops him from doing any unreversable harm while the legislature sorts this out. Basically the court gets to stay out of this as it is a political mess. Impeaching would take forever. Fuck, he could resign and ask Pat Quinn, the lieutenant governor to pardon him (like that'll happen.) The Republicans suddenly want an election to fill Obama's vacated seat while the Democrats will be happy if Quinn just appoint someone. See the predicament this jackass has created?
So my solution? (Come on you knew it was getting to this.) I think we need to do like the Romans did. You hand the jackass a knife and tell him "there's the tent and don't come out. If you do I have Titus Pullo here to take care of you." Very simple, no impeachment trials, no Supreme Court hearings just a man who eliminates himself from the problem. Its the honorable thing to do. And to prevent life loving jackasses from being political dickheads in the future the law should be simple, you corrupt the office, its life in prison, no parole (and real prison, not the federal–work –on – my– backhand–country club.) Period.
