Très Bizarre! Disgraced Governor Puts on an Elvis Show
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?!"
Blagojevich to Reality TV — Yay or Nay?
Rod Blagojevich has a new job everybody! Since the whole (alleged) attempt to sell President Obama's Senate seat didn't really work out, Rod has made a deal to star in NBC's new reality show I'm a Celebrity. .

Ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich can add racketeering, wire fraud, lying to federal investigators, and extortion conspiracy charges to his resume, which also includes impeachment and appearances on David Letterman and The View.
The 16 felony charges include his scheme to sell President Obama's senate seat.
Would You Read Rod Blagojevich's Book?
Ousted IL governor Rod Blagojevich is the latest person to ride President Obama's coattails into a literary career. Blagojevich has signed a six-figure deal to pen a book all about replacing Barack Obama in the Senate, a topic also at the center of a federal criminal investigation.
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. The Senate Ethics Committee and the state prosecutor's office are currently investigating him.
Briefing Book! Blagojevich Forcefully Defends Himself
- Illinois: In his closing arguments, Blagojevich says if you're going to fire me, Obama has to fire Rahm Emanuel. — Talking Points Memo
- Bipartisanship: Are we post-partisan yet? Behavior of Dick Armey, a giant of the modern GOP, demonstrates why it's hard "finding common ground" with Republicans.
Briefing Book! Blagojevich Thought About Appointing Oprah

Would Going On The View Help Blagojevich?
Rumor has it that IL Gov. Rod Blagojevich wants to appear on The View to tell his side of the story. The governor's public image is badly bruised right now, thanks to federal corruption charges, impeachment by the Illinois House, and an impending trial in the Illinois Senate.
Do You Think the Roland Burris Affair Is Fair?
We've all heard the tale by now: Illinois’s governor Roland Burris was appointed to replace President-elect Barack Obama as a US Senator, only he was appointed by Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was recently arrested by federal agents and accused of trying to sell the seat to raise campaign money. While most critics admit Burris is qualified, Democratic party leaders said they wouldn’t recognize anybody Blagojevich named.
