Impeached!

S. Korea Parliament Impeaches President

The 193-2 vote to impeach Preseident Roh Moo-hyun occured about an hour ago. Members of the party supporting the president spent all of last night and half of today blocking the Speaker of the National Assembly from approaching the podium, from where by law he must call the vote. They were removed by security officers and the vote went through, with all but two of the president's supporters abstaining.
