... and Rod's gone not a moment too soon. It wasn't even close, it was unanimous: 59-0 first to remove Blagojevich as Illinois' Governor, then another 59-0 vote to ban him from ever running for public office in the state again. I don't think it's so much the tapes that cost him, but rather the fact he had become a complete embarrassment to his state.
The last couple of months, they've had at least one joke per week -- some times even more -- on NPR's Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me! I think each of the fifteen panelists, who rotate in sets of three each week, had something to say about Mop Top -- and it's worth pointing out both the liberal and conservative celebrities thought he was a joke before this crisis started after Obama's election. (WWDTM is produced in Chicago, and recorded there most weeks.)
Now let's see if Blagojevich can keep his big fat mouth shut during his criminal trial. If his lawyer dumped him for being indiscrete, not likely.
