bedsitter23While on vacation, there was one story that was covered on St. Louis/Metro East local channel, Marion/Carbondale local channel, and WGN.
It was of course, the biggest story of last week.
Rod Blagojevich dyes his hair.
I always thought barbers weren't supposed to talk (client-patient confidentiality), but sure enough, Blago's stylist was out blabbing that Rod would look like Jay Leno in four short months.
All of the major outlets ran with the biggest "What If" we have encountered n years.
I'm going to miss Blago. Sure, his predecessor went to prison, too (Why do you need to take a test to get a Semi-truck CDL licence, when you can just pay money instead), but no one talks about him.
Blago was awesome. Even now, he talks like he will step foot out of prison and be elected to public office the next day.
(Side note to Republicans: Even in a red state like Illinois, you should have won that 2006 election . You should probably stop letting right wing nutjobs from beating up your candidates in primary season. Hint hint.)
Blago's "going away" speech was tremendous- it even featured Blago draped in the American flag and banners that said "Thank you Mr Governor. We will Pray."
Just the fact, he gave a speech was awesome. Your supposed to be ashamed. Instead, Blago signed autographs and gave what was essentially a campaign speech- defending his record (advising women to take advantage of free pap smears and public bussing- programs he instituted).
It's all a shame that Blago never got to do the job he was born to do. Think about it- fake humbleness, basic ignorance, arrogance in spades- he was born to be a Pro wrestling heel. He even got offers. He would have been so perfect.
Well, he's got 14 years to think about it.
