Here’s some “street video” of our nation’s own Gandhi/MLK, Rod Blagojevich, just chillin’ with his homies, outside his home. He yells “Yes We Can” in Spanish! A child (fake) asks if Rod will play hoops with the kids this summer! He quickly exploits this child for a photo op! It is a valuable fucking thing, this guy’s never-ending fall from grace. MARK OUR WORDS, Rod Blagojevich will compete on Dancing With the Stars. [YouTube]

My Blago burnout has been soothed… now he is entertaining again. Dance blago, dance!

slinkimalinki January 29, 2009 at 10:23 pm

you missed his rousing rendition of “don’t cry for me argentina”

shortsshortsshorts January 29, 2009 at 10:28 pm

I dont know if I’m alone on this, but “look at the kids man, look at the kids! look at the kids” may be the most funny and most honest political statement ever made by someone in elected office. He truly is a reformer. And a soon to be convict.

Colander January 29, 2009 at 10:28 pm

Ugh. A visual vagioplasty.

I love how the camera guy utters “unbelievable” as Blajo tries to get a picture with the kids. And how does that kid know to make a ‘hoops’ joke?? I BLAME Y’ALL IF HE ODS ON FLINSTONES VITAMINS TONITE!1!!

OffTheRecord January 29, 2009 at 10:29 pm

We go play hoop?

Will his hair end up as his dance partner, or do you think they’ll split up before the inevitable Dancing with the Stars debut?

Hey, kid, this basketball is fuckin’ golden, and I’m not going to pass it to you for nothing!

sarcasticusername January 29, 2009 at 10:34 pm

the bit where the reporter has to remind blago that they need a parent to sign a release form in order for them to air any footage with his child prop was just priceless.

Diefenbaked January 29, 2009 at 10:36 pm

“Get the kids, get the kids man… Reverend how are ya?” He’s resorted to the whole Republican “children for salvation” pact. Which sometimes works.

Kwame' January 29, 2009 at 10:37 pm

He’s a “Delusional Ken” doll for the neighbor kids.

I’d kill for half of his hair and to look that freaking good in a jogging suit.

Fucking guy has balls.

Oh SHIT! He’s locked out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also: That kid is now a hostage. watch for Blago to dangle him from the top of the IL capitol building (in combined Jacko/Kong style).

Maybe I’m the one
Maybe I’m the one who is a schizophrenic psycho, yeah
Maybe I’m the one
Maybe I’m the one who is a paranoid Blago…

He’s like the life of the party who doesn’t know when to go home.

ladymacbeth January 29, 2009 at 10:58 pm

i just want to know exactly where he actually lives.

Lionel Hutz Esq. January 29, 2009 at 10:58 pm

You know what I can’t understand right now are the commentators who keep defending him and think that what he is doing is brilliant. It is so brilliant that he lost his job and his approval rating is down below Bush levels. He is a crook. Now he is joke and a crook.

Still, he seems more competent than most Republicans. So there is that.

Heywood Floyd January 29, 2009 at 10:59 pm

Someone translate that. Did he say, ‘Thank you for your chicken’?

Cuz it was sure, ‘Gracias… con lo pollo.’ I just can’t make out the in between shit.

And I’m not even addressing the time when seemed to spring buttsecks on that kid.

don’t get me started

Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood,
In your neighborhood, in your neighborhood.
Say who are the people in your neighborhood–
The people that you meet each day?

Oh, Rod Blago’s always on the take
Through trials, on shows, for shithead’s sake.
I’ll yell’n say fuck the whole day through
And keep you dumb ingrates safe too.

Cause Rod Blago’s is a person in your neighborhood,
In your neighborhood, he’s in your neighborhood.
Rod Blago is a person in your neighborhood–
A person that got impeached today.

obfuscator January 29, 2009 at 11:08 pm

This guy is a master of something. I’m not sure what, but he’s definitely some kind of master of some kid of something. No one this compelling can be a complete idiot.

To paraphrase Jack Donaghy: Mr. Blagojevich, I hate-respect you.

shortsshortsshorts January 29, 2009 at 11:12 pm

[re=232476]obfuscator[/re]: He’s a damn smart man, for sure. But he would eat babies for money, also. In other words, he is a FINE public leader. Let’s make him the Great Leader of All and face the reality of the situation. Barry will appoint him for Secretary of Alterable Reality.

chascates January 29, 2009 at 11:13 pm

If Blago and Sarah Palin were to get married they would be the political couple of this century. If either of those two got in the White House they would never leave. Bill and Hillary are mere bush-league grifters in comparison.

memzilla January 29, 2009 at 11:17 pm

I can definitely see Blag Man getting caught doing a bank holdup and using kids as a human shield to escape the cops.

masterdebater January 29, 2009 at 11:31 pm

Now, this is just my opinion, but I think it was the hair that did him in. Oh, sure this video seems to confirm thoughts of him being an asshole, shameless, trifling, and low. But…the hair…that fucking hair. The good citizens of his state should not have to look at that until the next election. I know that seems strange when there are so many reasons to hate this self serving boor…I just can’t help it. I’m off now, to rinse out my eyes.

Lionel Hutz Esq. January 29, 2009 at 11:33 pm

[re=232443]slinkimalinki[/re]: For you:

It won’t be easy
You’ll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After all that I’ve done
You won’t believe me
All you will see
Is the hair you once knew
Although it’s dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen
I had to change
Couldn’t stay all my life with a ‘fro
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I chose hair-gel
And a 7,000 watt Hair Dryer
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it too

Don’t cry for me Illinois
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my hair styled
Don’t keep your distance

And as for fortune and as for fame
I always invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They were fucking valuable
You don’t just give them away
Need a Hospital
for sick and dying children
Just slip me $500,000

Don’t cry for me Illinois

Don’t cry for me Illinois
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my hair style
Don’t keep your distance

Have I said to much?
Have I become to sexy for my stylish hair?
But all you have to do
Is look at me to know
That every word is true

I voted for the magnificent son of a bitch twice. I remember when he was just a goofy haircut with an Elvis fetish. Then, there were the downstate love child rumors. Next, the unqualified people he got jobs for in various state agencies. I loved it when he closed a public landfill to spite his father-in-law, who basically got him elected. He campaigned on ETHICS REFORM, for fuck’s sake. Every email to state employees regarding the new ethics standards was peppered with his name. Most of the questions on the mandatory ethics test focused on “pay to play” issues, ironically. All the while, every single shitcrazy stunt he pulled was punctuated by his utter refusal to acknowledge reality.

Sigh. I miss him already.

villageatrois January 29, 2009 at 11:36 pm

The shadow behind him looks like he has a shoe on his left hand. Uhh, I didn’t get the rest of it either.

shortsshortsshorts January 29, 2009 at 11:55 pm

[re=232488]obfuscator[/re]: He’s some kind of failed pitch to the 70′s sitcom crowd. He will make a fine orator in prison, however, also. I am a semi-product of your state, also, and I knew that as soon as Jim Ryan was governor, also, and things would suck (he was a good guy er whatever but he was surrounded in Ulysses S. Grant administration folk like George Ryan) no matter what after Ryan, because, well, Ryan was a pussy. So now Illinois looks bad, even though there are plenty of quacks in oh say, EVERY OTHER STATE, that Blago is taking needed attention from. Bad governor, great example. FREEDUMBS. Also.

Heywood Floyd January 30, 2009 at 12:02 am

[re=232496]TedTheLightBulbSalesman[/re]: See, “Thank you for your chicken…” Or maybe he meant “For OUR chicken…”

Whatever. He appealed to chicken. He went there.

obfuscator January 30, 2009 at 12:06 am

[re=232500]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I sincerely wish that he and Gov. Ryan could somehow share a cell in the pen. I also wish that a reality program could be devoted to their wacky escapades in the corrections system. Kind of a Felix & Oscar thing, also.

Also.

Fun fact: If he’d resigned and then somehow beat the upcoming criminal charges(and I think he has a decent chance to do so), he would have retained his pension. Oops.

@ mr. bilfil: spitzer is a boring loser who had to pay for sex; blago is a genius with some serious acting skills who tried to sell anything that wasn’t nailed down. half of the country thinks blago is kinda cool even if he’s totally insane (can you really blame the man for trying to make a quick buck in this economy? it’s not everyday you come by a spare senate seat); everyone still thinks spitzer is just a horny idiot. Blago: a gazillion; Spitzer: big fat 0.

And you fuckers are so demeaning towards the free market. Blago did nothing illegal. He was merely eying a fucking fail-safe investment fucking strategy. It is for that I am fucking sickened by this socialist banter. You don’t just give something like that away. Also.

shortsshortsshorts January 30, 2009 at 2:38 am

And while we all create sacrificial moments for our good buddy, I thought this would be fun:
“Roy: I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.”

Yes. That is Blago in Blade Runner. HE SAVED HARRISON FORD’s LIFE FER PEET SAKE.

cal January 30, 2009 at 3:01 am

The guy is a freakin’ SAINT and a MARTYR.

Just wait for the comeback. First, he will write a book about his own greatness. Then he will hit the talkshows (again), become a staple of Entertainment Tonight and Fox News, the book hits #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, gets made into a TV movie starring Charlie Sheen, wins an Emmy, Blago becomes a motivational speaker, become a millionaire and gets elected Emperor of the United States. Just wait!

Not to criticize, but in his farewell speech there were a number of significant set-upon groups with whom he failed to compare himself:

breach babies
kidnap victims
the obese
parents of cleft palate children
abused women
African AIDS victims
those with peanut allergies
sufferers of systemic mastocytosis
people over 30 in “Logan’s Run”

Hear Hear! Why hast thou taken my Blago?

Spitzer v. Blago — both have hot wives, though hot in different ways. Silda the beautiful ice queen. Pottimouth Patti the hot slut that everyone did in high school. At least Blago didn’t cheat on his wife (or at least get caught doing so.)

Once Blago gets back on the lithium he can claim disability. It won’t pay all his legal bills, but it’s something.

You know if someone had just mentioned the whole lose-your-pension-if-you’re-impeached thing to Blago, none of this would’ve happened. WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL HIM?? He could’ve quietly slipped out of the country to France and never looked back. OH BLAGO WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST RESIGN. WE COULD’VE MADE PILGRIMAGES TO PARIS TO WORSHIP AT YOUR FEET. OR HAIR.

Not to worry: Fox will soon have him debut on Hannity and Blago. Or Pajamatv will hire him. If not, there is always the Elvis impersonator gig in Vegas.

It’s just amazing. Nothing – absolutely nothing – that Blagojevich has done during this ordeal requires any amount of intellect or deep thought. It’s a collection of very simple actions – deny, deny, deny, accuse your accusers of anything that sounds bad, regardless of the facts. Keep your face on TV, and just keep talking and denying and accusing. Get as many pictures of yourself taken with unassailable people (respected blacks, dead and live babies, the handicapped) as you can.

What stops most politician in these types of situations is self-respect, logical thinking, or a respect for their constituents and the citizens of the world as intelligent beings. Blago has the singular ability to totally reject logic and completely ignore any concept of respect for himself or others.

We are looking at an incredible human being, we are.

I can’t seem to get past the fact that the people of Illinois voted for this fucktard. Twice.
It’s as if Illinois and Minnesota are in some kind of contest against each other for the most stupid electorate. At least the Illinois legislature passed a bill protecting Illinois cracker dimwits from themselves by making sure Blago can’t be elected to anything ever again.

The neighborhood is truly falling apart. Next thing you know Wisconsin will vote a wedge of Coby Cheddar into office.
