Wonkette ideas-man operative “Jason” sends this video and writes, “A friend of mine works at WNYC and the staff have been sharing this AWESOME clip of Blago pathetically fiddling with a pair of headphones. Let’s all point and laugh at him.” Good idea. Ha ha ha ha, look at this guy! WHAT IS HE EVEN DOING? [YouTube]

Liar.

Ever seen a guy struggle to open a condom wrapper while the clock ticks….this sort of reminded me of that.

TGY September 17, 2009 at 3:54 pm

Hey, a pair of headphones is a fucking valuable thing.

shadowMark September 17, 2009 at 3:55 pm

Are we sure he’s trying to put on headphones? Could he be getting ready to fuck a chicken? I mean, sometimes before sex I get all fumble-fingered.

the problem child September 17, 2009 at 3:57 pm

That was comical as hell without sound. I can hardly wait to hear it for realz.

[re=413525]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: More like struggling to get the condom onto the dickhead, is what it reminds me of.

SayItWithWookies September 17, 2009 at 3:57 pm

You expect him to mash the headphones down over his hair?! That would be like taking a set of Baccarat crystal and tossing them into the trunk of your car.

Come here a minute September 17, 2009 at 4:00 pm

Poor guy is just trying to protect his (helmet of) hair.

aaronincus September 17, 2009 at 4:02 pm

He’s a parody of himself. And he was a clown before. What next, I ask: WHAT NEXT?!?

MISTAHCOUGHDROP

P.S. I promise not to post about this anymore… but I want you lovely folks to know there are other things happening…!

MARCdMan September 17, 2009 at 4:06 pm

Haha, he can’t get them to fit on his comically massive head!

shadowMark September 17, 2009 at 4:07 pm

If we hadn’t LAUGHED AT Meghan, she might have sent along stuff from his appearance on the View.

RoscoePColtraine September 17, 2009 at 4:07 pm

[re=413543]MISTAHCOUGHDROP[/re]: If you go off topic, would you be kind enough to make us laugh? At the very least?

Better American Than You September 17, 2009 at 4:08 pm

There are certain skills one needs to masterfully govern a major U.S. state. The putting-on-of-headphones is not one of them.

Hair Powr! Say it loud and say it proud. Hair Powr!

RoscoePColtraine September 17, 2009 at 4:11 pm

[re=413536]the problem child[/re]: Sounds like SOMEBODY needs to buy bigger condoms. Woof!

Liebestod September 17, 2009 at 4:13 pm

we need a music in the clip, I’m calling for a contest.

shortsshortsshorts September 17, 2009 at 4:16 pm

[re=413543]MISTAHCOUGHDROP[/re]: GOOD LUCK WITH THAT MISTAHCOUGHDROP. That looks much, much better than Blago.

President Beeblebrox September 17, 2009 at 4:23 pm

[re=413543]MISTAHCOUGHDROP[/re]: Obvious shill is obvious.

Did anyone hear Blago on Howard Stern the other day? He fit right in. I think Howard has a replacement for Artie now when he finally OD’s on heroin.

shadowMark September 17, 2009 at 4:24 pm

[re=413566]Liebestod[/re]: Anything by Wandering Nomad would be great.

AbstinenceOnly Ed September 17, 2009 at 4:30 pm

My theory is that Blagojevich is actually 7 yrs old, and just got cursed or whatever like Tom Hanks in Big. What grown man would say “I could just parachute myself right in there”?

jagorev September 17, 2009 at 4:34 pm

Woot! I love WNYC. I get most of my news from WNYC and Wonkette.

Dontread September 17, 2009 at 4:37 pm

I think he was trying not to ruffle his fabulous ‘do.

Suds McKenzie September 17, 2009 at 4:45 pm

Careful Blago, those headphones are a fuckin valuable thing.

Lascauxcaveman September 17, 2009 at 4:46 pm

Heh. I have the same headphones (and the same hair!) as Blaggy.

Sony MDR-7506 headphones are the best set of cans I’ve ever heard for under $100. They do kinda get flippy-aroundy on you though, because of the way they are designed to fold into themselves, for more compact storage.

RoscoePColtraine September 17, 2009 at 4:49 pm

I particularly enjoy the way the off-camera person just stands there (laughing?) while Blago’s desperation turns to panic.

Seanyboy September 17, 2009 at 4:53 pm

I thought he was in heaven preparing the feast of whores and booze for Ted Kennedy (http://wonkette.com/410913/your-friday-cartoon-explanatorium)? You’d think the headphones in heaven would be a little less unwieldy.

hobospacejunkie September 17, 2009 at 4:55 pm

Should’ve had Leonard Lopate give him personal instruction. Hell, I’d fly up to help out Blago, so long as he let me fondle his potty mouthed wife.

Suds McKenzie September 17, 2009 at 5:02 pm

Do you think he knows radio shows can be recorded yet?

Way Cool Larry September 17, 2009 at 5:30 pm

he was just doing his hilarious Chevy Chase impersonation

BobTheBuilder September 17, 2009 at 5:33 pm

He’s adorable. Like a little puppy taking a dump.

queeraselvis v 2.0 September 17, 2009 at 5:46 pm

My hair! Tito, my HAIR!!!!111!!

wordsmoker September 17, 2009 at 5:49 pm

At the risk of a ban from one of my favouritist sites ever, I’d like to defend the actions you see Mr Blagojevich taking part in above.

Lionel Hutz Esq. September 17, 2009 at 6:10 pm

Didn’t Blagojevich leave government? I thought it was improper to investigate officials for criminal wrong doing once they left government? Or is that only true for torture?

surf-by September 17, 2009 at 6:13 pm

It’s like Sputnik. Generally round, but pointy at parts!

kewlguy42069 September 17, 2009 at 6:14 pm

politicians don’t know how to actually do anything.

kewlguy42069 September 17, 2009 at 6:14 pm

he’s got the hair for radio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

ivenson September 17, 2009 at 6:51 pm

[re=413525]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: “Ever seen a guy struggle to open a condom wrapper while the clock ticks….this sort of reminded me of that.”

Maybe you should roll over and face away from them while they put the condom on. If you watch them put the thing on, it can’t possibly help their performance anxiety….or….wait….

Maybe I misunderstood.

bitchincamaro September 17, 2009 at 7:02 pm

[re=413593]jagorev[/re]: Me too. But I never thought we’d witness the confluence. Leonard Lopate on teh Wonkette has gotten me all starbursty. Blago and that hairball, not so much.

chauncey September 17, 2009 at 7:46 pm

[re=413610]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: yep, studio classics. and they DO do that flippy shit; i’ve never identified so much with the guy! it even looks like they’ve not yet be given the needed crush-squeezing to curve the metal head band so it doesn’t constantly press down on the center of your head… of course here it might just be a visual distortion caused by his fantastic hair…

rambone September 17, 2009 at 8:08 pm

Looks to me like a whole lot of nothing, Wonkette. No video . . .

Methinks you best apologize for besmirching Blagojevich’s good name.

villageatrois September 18, 2009 at 2:54 am

This video has been removed by user.

Hey, wasn’t Rod also “removed by user”?

Jukesgrrl September 18, 2009 at 5:58 am

I’m sure you’re at least as well informed as if you watched CNN. Or read the Washington Post.

mr.bubble December 11, 2009 at 11:23 am

Did you know that 3 people at WNYC were FIRED over the “leak” of this video clip. Management there is completely fucked up.
