I seriously doubt that I'll be more entertained by another politician's sheer stupidity as I've been by Rod Blogojevich's. Wow. This guy may be getting impeached, but he should win something for the "most references to cultural and global icons that have absolutely nothing to do with you, or your situation." F-bomb phone calls trying to sell a Senate seat......get you impeached. Trying to tie the image of Ghandi into this mess as an explanation......priceless.The Chicago Tribune posted a time-line of the implosion of our Dear Mayor. Have a look an savor the moment.
Dec. 5: The Tribune reveals that federal investigators have secretly wiretapped Gov. Rod Blagojevich as part of a long-running probe of his administration.
Dec. 8: Blagojevich, asked about the Tribune report, says, "I don't believe there's any cloud that hangs over me. I think there's nothing but sunshine hanging over me."
Dec. 9: FBI agents call up Blagojevich in the early-morning hours and tell him he is being arrested. He asks, "Is this a joke?" and is told it is not. The agents lead him away in handcuffs. U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald announces at a news conference that Blagojevich and chief of staff John Harris are accused of trying to sell the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama and pressuring Tribune Co. to fire editorial writers critical of Blagojevich.
Dec. 10: Obama joins the growing calls for Blagojevich to resign. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., referred to as "Senate Candidate 5" in the criminal complaint, declares that he had no involvement in the alleged scheme by Blagojevich to sell the Senate seat.
Dec. 12: Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan asks the state Supreme Court to remove Blagojevich from office because of a "disability."
Dec. 15: The Illinois House launches its first-ever impeachment probe of a governor.
Dec. 17: The Illinois Supreme Court rejects Lisa Madigan's move to have the governor declared unfit.
Dec. 19: In his first public remarks about the charges against him, Blagojevich declares: "I will fight, I will fight, I will fight. Until I take my last breath. I have done nothing wrong." He also recites poetry by Rudyard Kipling.

I've got to agree. Must see TV. If in my life I've never had that "what the hell is he talking about" look on my face, I can no longer make that claim. The guy is insane.
I'm sorry he's gone. Every time his faced popped up on the TV I started to grin. You know, the wide grin that precedes the absolutely certain pearls of wisdom that he dropped like pennies in a fountain.
But at least he didn't hide the fact that he was crazy. He let you know....a lot.
I can say that I shared that grin. You knew what you were going to get when Blago stepped up to the mic and for that I can claim I'll miss him as well.
