One last time, for this picture.Hooray, because this fucktard’s sell-by date has long since passed: Rod Blagojevich is gone, thrown out by those communist street organizers in the Illinois Senate — by unanimous vote! Good-bye, Blago! You were really the most shameless, annoying political dingus of this young century, and you were never even funny/terrifying like, say, Sarah Palin. Hope you choke on your pubic-hair wig, loser. [Some TV website in Texas?]

As an Illinoisan, I couldn’t be happier.

Blago… what a piece of work. He’s so dumb that he actually thought no one would ever know. I guess he’s not heard of the Interwebs and the blogsers.

Another good result out of Illinois…finally and none too soon.

shanemacgowan January 29, 2009 at 6:08 pm

Met him once when he was running for Congress. We talked for a few minutes about the Cubs and Elvis while he looked over my sholder for more important people to talk to. He did not have a bat-shit crazy vibe at the time. Must have picked it up later.

The illustration leads me to believe he has a lucrative career ahead of him as a children’s cereal mascot.

So the clever “I could have been more corrupt, but I wasn’t” (aka “think of the children”) defense did not work. TruckNutz!

Gee, I almost think I’m gonna miss him. Of course, knowing how these things go, he’ll go to the slammer, get buggered up the ass, find Jesus, write a best-seller about all of it and become either a televangelist or talk show host or some weird combination of both.

Goodbye Blago’s Hair
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you went limp
They didn’t use enough mousse
And they combed it all wrong
They spat at your style
because you were such a fucking valuable thing.

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a toupee in the wind
Never knowing what to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I didn’t have a bribe.
Your hold gave out long before
Your legend ever did

Blago may have THE HAIR but Patti’s ‘do, the way it swishes about her face, makes the slut-lover in me go all crazee with the hawtness. So if Blago goes to prison she will stay home, alone, the martyred MILF, looking for someone to comfort her. I am that someone. Call me Patti, you will be safe in my arms.

Kotter January 30, 2009 at 12:01 am

Well, damn. I expected that at least one majority-black-district State Senator – preferably James Meeks – would vote to not impeach Blago, based on some complicated reasoning that I (and most likely anyone else) wouldn’t understand.

Alas, no. But Meeks’ rant was a nice consolation prize, especially the part about ‘upstate and downstate militias’ and his shouting of ‘ABSOLUTELY!’ during the vote to bar Blago from ever running for office again.

Good riddance.
