This weekend former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was paid to perform Elvis's "Treat Me Nice" before a group of confused onlookers. Inexplicably, Fabio was also there on stage. While I can't single out the most disturbing thing about Blago's gyrating performance, I do think that the best part comes around the 45-second mark when someone in the audience looks at the camera and mouths: "What the fu*ck?!"

I was hoping the ex-governor would write about his haircare regime, or perhaps put out a book of poems since he loved quoting Rudyard Kipling and Alfred Lord Tennyson during press conferences.
Should Senator Roland Burris Step Down?
Ex-IL governor Rod Blagojevich has cast a net of scandal big enough to cover that hair of his.
Thanks to revelations that (not-quite-ex) IL Senator Roland Burris might not have been honest about how he came to be appointed by Blagojevich, Burris has become increasingly isolated in Washington and in Illinois.
