Farewell, Hair Guy.
By briantologist | December 9, 2008
Ladies and gentlemen, the man who truly made me realize that the truly scummy come in both red and blue leisure suits; the man with the hair of a fundamentally untrustworthy human being; the man who’s apparently on tape saying “I’ve got a fucking gold mine here, and I’m not gonna let it go for fucking nothing” — Ladies and gentlemen, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested this morning for selling Barack Obama’s Senate Seat (the quote is in reference to same senate seat).
If you called Central Casting for a slimeball politician and they sent you Blagojevich, you’d send him back for being too scummy-looking:
Gov. Rod Blagojevich, known scumbag. (Photo courtesy Chicago Sun-Times.)
Apparently once it became clear he’d be in charge of appointing Obama’s replacement to the Senate, he kind of flipped out a little, drunk with the potential financial gain that came with that responsi–sorry, power. This is on top of a prolonged ongoing investigation of the guy for influence-peddling that’s been slowly closing around him for years.
In addition to all that, he was allegedly hard at work blackmailing the Chicago Tribune‘s editorial board, making a bailout with state funds contingent on the paper not being so darn mean to him. Nice.
Have fun up the river, G-Rod. Ask George Ryan for pointers on getting the remote in the rec room.

I know! I’m not from Chicago, so I don’t know y’all’s story, but even I, dyed in the wool Democrat though I am, could not bring myself to vote for someone with hair like that. Also, his eyes are too close together, but he can’t do anything about that. The hair, however, is a fucken CHOICE.
I can’t wait for Josh Brolin to play him in the Hollywood dramatization of this latest political scandal.

Holy crapojevich! He sounds like Philly’s (recently) former mayor, John Street. If this were a film, critics would pan it for being too far-fetched. Unbelievable.

You realize that we’ve had two govs in a row that have been totally corrupt douches? It’s no wonder that people always use “Chicago politician” as a derogatory term.

Oh my god.

“…two govs in a row…”? There have been nearly a dozen corrupt douches in the past half century in “Crook” County, Illinois. See how I did that?
