He does look a bit like your wife's ex-husband.

Saw this one coming.

I'm not sure if I admire this guy, or fear for him. I mean, there's some more-than-damning evidence against him, yet he still maintains his innocence. He's either completely insane or has huge balls.

Some highlights:

"After a four-day trial, the Illinois Senate voted 59-0 to convict him of abuse of power, automatically ousting the second-term Democrat."

No partisan lines there.

"In a second, identical vote, lawmakers further barred Blagojevich from ever holding public office in the state again."

That's the best part. Not only are you fired, don't ever come back. As if he could get elected in Illinois, or any other state. Maybe he could, wasn't the mayor of D.C. a crack addict.

So, the business world is corrupt, politicians are corrupt...nothing new, I'm sure, but with the economy tanking, I have to wonder if corruption isn't part of the root cause.

What did annoy me when the Blagojevich thing broke was that no one in the media could pronounce his name. Granted, it's hard, but about five minutes tops of research and you'd have it. Once you hear it, it's easy, and I'm sure the people in Illinois could tell you easily enough.

To cap the stupidity, they turned to calling him Hot Rod or my personal favorite, Bloggo. Or Blog-O, like Jack-O, back when Micheal Jackson was in the news. I say, drop the nicknames and act like a professional. Losers.
