Here is the comical crook Rod Blagojevich saying on Monday that he doesn’t mind if his conversations are taped, but he would sort of prefer it if people told him first, before they started taping. This frigging guy. [YouTube]

Stupid as a fox?? Yep. Stupid as a fox.

loquaciousmusic December 10, 2008 at 10:09 am

Well, if he doesn’t go to jail, he can always go back to playing a child molester on Law & Order: SVU.

That’s what he does now, right? Right?

thefrontpage December 10, 2008 at 10:09 am

Most media reports note that Blagojevich has been part of various corruption investigations since….2004. That’s four years. There have been reports that investigators were targeting Blagojevich–in the media. There were suggestions to the Governor that he was a focus, that his home and office could be bugged, that his phones could be tapped–THAT HIS CONVERSATIONS COULD BE RECORDED BY FBI AGENTS OR OTHER INVESTIGATORS. THAT YOU COULD HAVE YOUR TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS RECORDED. Why, why, why on earth, if you know all of this, if you’re constantly being questioned, if you know that you are under investigation and under suspicion, WOULD YOU CLEARLY STATE IN TELEPHONE CALLS THAT YOU WANT TO BRIBE PEOPLE FOR OFFICES, POSITIONS, JOBS, FIRINGS OF JOURNALISTS, LAND SWAPS, DEALS, AND APPOINTMENTS FOR YOU AND WIFE? Just how incredibly stupid, or mentally ill, does one have to be? He deserves whatever is coming to him–and so does his sleazy, crooked wife, too, by the way. And throw in the equally stupid chief of staff, too. What a frickin’ bunch of morons.

Ah, the Gary Hart Challenge.

hedgehog December 10, 2008 at 10:11 am

After he dons the prison orange, Hot Rod is going to go from “Go ahead and tape me” to “Go ahead and rape me.”

Bypartizoa December 10, 2008 at 10:16 am

I’m upset about that haircut. He looks lik Robby Benson.

actor212 December 10, 2008 at 10:16 am

Two words, Blaggypants:

Gary. Hart.

Who are the 13% who liked this guy?

Darehead December 10, 2008 at 10:18 am

The Gov says “Go ahead and tape me” every day. To his make-up girl. Tape. As in double-sticky adhesive, the only kind that would keep that big Daniel Boone-pelt-do on his slimy skull.

freakishlystrong December 10, 2008 at 10:19 am

[re=195415]hedgehog[/re]: Damn you Hedgehog! In honor of the day tho, maybe it should be Go Ahead and ASS Rape Me…

His hair looks like that of Rick Perry’s had it spent 10 years getting force-fed steroids in an East German lab.

AngryBlakGuy December 10, 2008 at 10:23 am

…with hair like that, this guy only qualifies for 2 jobs:

1) News Anchor Man

2) Game show host

Serolf Divad December 10, 2008 at 10:25 am

I’m totally for open government as long as you give me a head’s up first. Just give he 1/2 hour to tidy up any paperwork that needs shredding before you come over asking to see documents and stuff.

Serolf Divad December 10, 2008 at 10:29 am

By the way: I like the way Blagoyoubitch compares himself to Nixon during he Watergate scandal in an attempt to argue his innocence. That’s a very appropriate analogy that will surely win the sympathies of the public and the press.

Advocatus_Diaboli December 10, 2008 at 10:30 am

I’m with Josh Marshall on this one: Blaggyboy’s best defense is to plead insanity.

hedgehog December 10, 2008 at 10:33 am

It is just SO hard to find a good anal bleacher these days. But it’s de rigueur for a former governor who doesn’t want the Aryan Brotherhood to be put off by an unsightly backdoor on his first night as a bitch.

BarthexDeRosa December 10, 2008 at 10:36 am

There’s gonna be NO contrition from this guy. He’s goin down with a ‘Kiss my ass’ to the sentencing judge.

Don’t worry, Blaggy. I’m certain YouTube will be filled with your upcoming (no pun intended) courtroom bukkake.

Talk about hair club for men! That rug’s got it’s own PR person!

[re=195450]BarthexDeRosa[/re]: The only thing weighing on his conscience is that 5-lb wig.

Dientes December 10, 2008 at 10:40 am

I think this guy is a giant douche nozzle, tiger petter, cubs fan, etc. etc. However, are his actions not very similar to what the bush admin. has been doing for the past eight years? Halliburton, the NY Times criticism, the U.S. Attorney firings…

Not_So_Much December 10, 2008 at 10:40 am

That bewitching, luxuriant hair — I wonder if he’ll wear it in pigtails in the joint?

Miller December 10, 2008 at 10:50 am

I doubt anyone would have even had to tape Blaggy to catch him, we are talking about a man who was once described as “the dumber version of George W. Bush”. Judging from the intellectual thought put into his seat selling, he was about a week from putting up ads on Craigslist, running billboards, and wearing a large neon top hat that said “Pay me $$$ for Senate seat”.

I wonder what his Twinkie defense will be.
Your honor, it’s all the fault of:

Too much “testicular virility ” (his own words)
Shared DNA with Slobodan Milosovich

You know what kinda chaps my ass about all this? We could have spent the next 41 days talking about what a fuckshit Dubya’s been. Now this ridiculous muffintop has robbed us of that.

Apparently, his stylist has a thing for the various Christmas special characters.

Serolf Divad December 10, 2008 at 11:02 am

[re=195470]freakishlystrong[/re]:

Dubya’s doing a pretty good job of spending the days hiding under his bed these days. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s more eager to leave the Whitehouse than the rest of the country is to see him vacate.

Min December 10, 2008 at 11:05 am

Stupid is as stupid does.

HuskyMescan December 10, 2008 at 11:06 am

The verdict is in. Blaggy is guilty but his hair is not.

shortsshortsshorts December 10, 2008 at 11:07 am

So while we all enjoy the potty-mouth of Rod, please endeavor to wit his wife’s taped comments. They make Dennis Leary talking look like a fucking Disney Film.

God Hates Frogs December 10, 2008 at 11:09 am

Is Dubya doing a Christmas show? Singing and dancing his way into our hearts?

Maybe Blago could have a Slavic segment.

This could bring the country together.

paolaccio December 10, 2008 at 11:11 am

“Notoriously?”

Also, what is it with these Midwestern pols and the hairpieces? Blagojevich, Kucinich, Trafficant? They look like they fell asleep and their toupees fucked a hamster, for Christ’s sake?

Dear Mojopo,
Here I am in the place where they say I work and, just as I new they would, these Wonk gazette “authors” are forcing perfectly good threads downstream at the rate of tickertape machine. Like always. I want to respond to your last post from earlier this morning so I’m busting into this thread knowing were I to answer on the original thread you’d never find it because these “reporters” don’t know quality from quantity. Just wanted to tell you there are not enough O’s in So to describe how differnt are your city and NYC, yes. The main thing is street widths. NYC’s are narrow and full of dead things. Oh yes, I have experienced the ambience of your second city. Ate dog on Navy Pier while my young son spun around on some round-y thing, saw that egg-y thing in the park where Gov. Blagggo combs his hair, and George Seurat’s polka-dots that he did for a joke knowing someone in America would buy it for way too much money after he died. Went to a play about gay people who sing in the land of Oz for some reason, and drank many slavic and Norwegian beers. Difernt from NYC? Well, I reckon!!
My city is NOLA. You would not like it, we don’t eat dog. We drink and show our tits and throw beads at each other and sing and dance and cling to things that float and drink.

RabidHamster December 10, 2008 at 11:14 am

[re=195442]Serolf Divad[/re]: Nixon taped himself, so Blagshit’s comparison to Nixon/Watergate is a fail (except for the part where they’re both corrupt fucks).

PopeyesPipe December 10, 2008 at 11:16 am

Frankly, I think Rod-Rod needs a higher caliber of goon in his entourage. Those are not the goons of a great man.

As Dom Irrera once said on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist (paraphrased): “At least have the decency to close the eyes of the poor animal that gave its life to make your rug!” He then proceeded to wish that he had a toupee so bad that you could see its chin-strap.

[re=195442]Serolf Divad[/re]: Who chooses Nixon and Gary Hary as their inspiration? It’s obviously time for guv to very publicly take Jesus as his personal savior.
If he’s not into religion, he can always take his big hair on the rodeo circuit and enter some Rodeo Queen pageants. The latter requires he be proficient in horsey stuff, like riding them, which makes Number One much easier.

Speaking of Jesus, I’ve been afflicted with Bell’s Palsy, which paralyzes the right half on your face. When I untaped the eye that won’t shut and looked at myself in the mirror this morning, I realized I look like the kind of people I used to make fun of.

Lesson learned, Big Guy–You can heal me now.

I hope there is a mental illness, severe learning disability or drug habit to explain the epic stupidity behind 1.) that fucking rug and 2.) his laughable attempts at corruption. With what leverage did he plan to make all this happen? Does that hair confer special powers?

Actually, a head of hair like that is a pretty typical Serbo-Croatian genetic quirk. All the Yugo war criminals had it. Call it a Serb-fro.

[re=195534]heroinmule[/re]: I don’t think that’s a toupee, except for the artificial coloring that the Blags is rocking there, that hair looks *exactly* like mine. My hair could be Blaggy’s hair’s stunt double. (Or vice versa)

Hey, maybe if I put on a few pounds and learned to slouch a bit, I could play Blags in the inevitable Biopic…

BobLoblawLawBlog December 10, 2008 at 1:02 pm

I must admit: I think it’s so nice that he and his wife found each other. As soon as I heard her quoted, I thought, “Aww, they’re perfect together.” I guess I’m just the silver lining type.

Plus, heaven forbid they ever try to spread their demon seed amongst the general population.

populucious December 10, 2008 at 1:02 pm

Oh he wishes he were a criminal genius on scale with Richard Nixon. The ghost of Richard Nixon is going to shiv him for daring to make such a comparison. Nixon has inspired opera, theater and film fer crissake! This man will be lucky if he’s remembered off-Broadway with puppets. (Although, I might pay to go see that…)

Memo to Governor Blagojevich:

Hi Gov. Blagojevich. Can I call you Blago for short, or how about just plain Rod? Yes, that’s better. Mind you, I suspect you’re going to have to get used to being called a lot of things: Asinine, asshat, blockhead, braggart, buffoon; and that’s just the start of the alphabet.

I hear you’re in trouble with the law, and have run fowl of FBI wire tapping. Apparently they didn’t tell you first before they began monitoring you. I feel your pain Rod, but it’s just the way these chaps work. They seem to have this funny idea that if someone knows they’re being recorded, then that person might actually refrain from saying anything that might incriminate them. It’s dashed unsporting I agree, but there it is.

I realize I’m a tad late with this warning, Rod, but better late than never. Or in the famous word of Tony Soprano, “Waddyagonnado, eh?”

Chin Up
The Captain.
