Erasing all traces and moving on....

I just found this article very interesting as it was very much about the symbolism of taking away the images and other traces of the former governor that could be found in the state capitol. The author writes that a crew "brought down the 5-foot-high sign [with Blagojevich's image on it] to make the official change" almost immediately after the Senate had voted to impeach Blagojevich. I thought it was interesting how the author of the article refers to taking down the sign as an "official change," almost as though it was only by removing the reminders of the governor that he was completely stripped of his power.
One of the maintenance workers was quoted as saying "Was that quick enough?" which exemplifies the eagerness to move on from the whole embarassing situation.
