    I felt bad for the people of Illinois, but I'm going to kind of miss the guy. His douchness was truly epic. Every time the guy was on TV it was riveting to tune in and see what insanity would spew forth. The press conference with the lineup of unfortunates behind him was a particular favorite.

    To paraphrase Blago: "This guy's in a wheel chair, this guy's a retard, this lady had her boob cut off, this guy's black, I bought this guy lunch, and this guy lives in a box, and youse people are bustin' MY balls?"

    Love that guy

    I suppose at this point, now that I've soiled myself, there's no reason to read the first 2 pages, right?

    I really hope he gets a talkshow or remains in the public eye somehow. His absolute refusal to acknowledge reality is riviting, and hilarious.

    I'd love to see him run for President, or senator. Just imagine what SNL could do to him. The guy is comedy gold....and that hair.....that glorious hair!

    If he gets convicted and goes to Jail. I really hope they turn his incarceration into a reality show.

    Damn. He's not wasting any time. Just saw a promo on CNN for Blago on DL Hughley's CNN show this Saturday night.

    I remember reading somewhere that he was overextended. Lots of houses all over the country or something, and that's one reason he was pushing to sell The O's Senate seat (and everything else). He is probably trying to suck in some speaking fees from CNN. He's gonna need some Esquire money here shortly.

    He can't be elected to any position in Illinois. If he wants to run for senate, he has to do it in some other state. He is, however, eligible to run for Prez or Vice Prez.

    Yeah he has financial problems, or will once he gets the bill from his lawyers after the federal trial. If fact he has quite a bit of cash, it's call a campaign fund. He had millions in there during the last election, I heard about $10M. I'm not sure what he has left but if he declares it on his taxes he can use it for personal use.

    I recently heard that 65% of the politicians in Illinois like to have sex in the shower. The other 35% haven't been convicted yet....I'll be here all week folks.

    New York is always ready to elect an outsider with a shady past.
