  • Our esteemed and honorable governor Rod Blagojevich...........no, wait, maybe those aren't the right words. Perhaps the words disgraced and pathetic fit better. Yes. Disgraced and pathetic. Much better. Our disgraced and pathetic governor Rod Blagojevich decided that instead of attending his impeachment trial with the Illinois State Senate he would go on the View and Larry King. You know things have gotten really bad when the better option is spending the day with a bunch of middle aged, menopaused, cat fighting, bickering ladies and a man so old he makes the Cryptkeeper look young. The Gov is proclaiming his innocence though, so much that he is trying to take his fight to the court of public opinion, you know, the very same public that gives him a 7% approval rating in the state of Illinois. Seven fucking percent! Shit, I would bet even a raging case of herpes could get a better then 7%, I  mean at least with herpes you know you got some action. When informed of his 7% approval rating by King, Blago responded with shock, stating that the poll was baloney and certainly the people conducting the polls were biased. Really? Is he really this much out of touch with reality and with the people? Because I'm a citizen of Illinois and every single person I have talked to about this, which is probably over 100 people, all agree with the 93% of people who disapprove of him. Maybe if he tries hard enough he can get that disapproval rating to be as high as the human body temperature. Or, maybe the approval rating can go as low as the temperature outside. Wait, he wishes it were that high, after all as I'm writing this it is currently 16 degrees outside. Which means that the temperature in the middle of January in Chicago is more then double his approval rating. I guess the only positive thing for him is that although the temp can go below zero, his approval rating can not go that low, unless they started polling dead people. Which, being Illinois, is not out of the realm of possibility since dead people have been voting for years in Chicago.

    So, what can Blago do to be even more unpopular? I mean, at this point he would have to really do something so bad that its almost unmentionable to sink even lower. I dunno, maybe withhold money to a children's hospital. Oh wait........he already did that. Maybe attempt to sell a senate seat. Shit, I forgot, been there done that. Maybe compare himself to people so revered that they are celebrated with holidays, monuments or other things in their honor. Nah, even Blago wouldn't sink that low.

    Then again..............holy shit, Rod Blagojevich compared himself to Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela! Shhhhhhh...........here that smattering of 3 people applauding, those are the last 3 people left in Illinois who approve of this fuckbag.

    Honestly, fucking Gandhi? You think your plight of which you brought on yourself is comparable to Gandhi? And MLK? And fucking Mandela? Nelson fucking Mandela? Wait, I should watch it with the f-bombs, I'm starting to sound like Rod fucking Blagojevich. You wanna compare yourself to three people Rod, how's about Pete Rose, Ted Haggard and Richard Nixon. In fact, as I watched Larry King interview him, the one person who kept coming into my mind was Pete Rose. For those of you who forgot, Rose is the baseball legend who in 1989 signed an agreement banning him for life for betting on baseball. He spent the better part of the next 15 years strenuously denying his betting on baseball, much like Blago has strongly denied any wrong doing. When it came time for him to promote his book, Rose finally admitted to betting on baseball. The whole time, even to this day, Rose tries to play himself off as the victim, much like Blago is trying to do. In both cases, the whole thing is disgusting and revolting.

    Larry King asked him about the stuff he said on the recordings. I'm sure you all know at this point what he said so I won't repeat them. Then again, you all know what he said, its too bad Blago himself doesn't know what he said, saying on more then one occasion that he didn't know what he said, he would have to hear the tapes first. Wow, this guy really is a pathetic piece of shit, isn't he? I'm the first one to admit that even I don't remember everything I say, especially stuff I said two or three months ago. But, I do know this much, if I say something over and over in an adamant way that involves severe overuse of the word fuck, I would at least remember a little bit of what I said. I would think that if Blago is so self centered and so full of himself  that he compares himself to Gandhi, Mandela and MLK, three of the greatest people who have ever lived that he would remember some of these very same conversations that have led to his demise.

    Get this trial over with already and give us a new fucking governor!
