Blago-nomics

Wow! We always knew that politics were a little rough-n-tumble in Chi-town, but …

Can you believe Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich?

Or to put it in terms he -- and Tony Soprano --- might understand, “Can you freakin’ believe this (expletive deleted)?”

This is the craziest political story since Larry Craig wen’t cruising for some action in an airport restroom. It would have been more discreet for Blago to put the U.S. Senate seat up for sale on eBay.

He makes Edwin Edwards look like a monk. He makes Richard Daley (the first, not the second) look suave. Yeccchhh.

And he's mega-stupid, too. Blago already knew he was under investigation for suspicion (apparently well-founded) of corruption. He thought his phone was tapped.

Yet he still gabbed away and said incredibly incriminating things — while at the same time warning the person on the other end to be careful about what he said! What a putz!

It’s going to be a long, long time before we hear a politician say anything more sleazy and disgusting than, “I’ve got this thing and it’s (F-word) golden, and I’m just not giving it up for (F-word) nothing. I’m not gonna do it.”

... That’s all for now. I have to go wash my hands.
