llinois House Speaker Michael Madigan has produced "talking points" for legislative candidates on the reasons to impeach Governor Rod Blagojevich.It looks like Mike Madigan has had enough.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the memo Tuesday.
It refers to corruption under Blagojevich as "a tumor" that must be surgically removed. It also claims the governor has violated the state constitution by abusing his authority.

But the talking points are likely to deepen the feud between Madigan and Blagojevich, who are both Democrats.
