The World Through Rod Blagojevich’s Eyes

“I thought about Ghandi, Dr. King, Mandela – and just tried to put some perspective on all of this …”

That poignant quote above is from the Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich. It’s what he told an interviewer today was going through his mind when the FBI arrested him last month.  What a complete asshat.

Never before today in our entire fabled U.S. history has such a corrupt and delusional person been given so much air time.  Charlie Manson in his prime never had as much air time.

And he’s not even done.

Yes, I’ll tune in at 9 p.m. tonight to catch this skull fuck’s act on Larry King Barely Alive.  Since I work for a living and can’t watch the Today Show, Good Morning America, The View or Access Hollywood, I’ll have to sit through Captain Suspenders croaking, “Governor, what’s your take?”  This is a car wreck I must rubberneck.

Some folks are saying on the MSNBC tonight that Hot Rod is talking to the jury pool.  My question is who the hell are we letting on juries?  Oh, that’s right, it’s Mayor Daley’s Chicago.

CNN failing us again …

All hell is breaking loose on the world’s financial markets. I figure that I should be able to turn on the King for some insightful guests tonight … maybe Hank Paulson, Robert Reich, Ben Stein, a financial services CEO or two. No. This isn’t news. This is infotainment! Larry’s guests tonight are: Donald Trump and Dave Ramsey! WTF? I do have to say I like Dave Ramsey, but getting advice on home finances is one thing. Tonight the country could use some macro-perspective, not celebrities. Why don’t we just have Rick Sanchez check his Twitter account to see what JimDandy2134 in Montana has to say?

UPDATE: Reich and Stein are going to appear … I stand by the above.  Who cares what Trump thinks?
