On top of everything else, I heard Blagojevich has just hired a new PR man.
Blago is quickly becoming one of my favorite political criminals.
I want an action figure.
What the hell are you talking about? You NEVER explain your plans to the hero. You explain your plans to the hero’s CORPSE. Actually you explain your plan to the hero’s decapitated head as it is being mounted on the wall. The only time you even look like you’re explaining your plan is when you’re a Judas Iscariot Lieutenant manipulating the hero into killing your ostensible boss so you can take over, and even then you always say “And you’ll have only 30 seconds to get out of the Dark Tower before the protoplasm dissolver turns everyone inside into goo” when you know that they’ll only have 10 seconds to get out.
With interchangable hair.
I think he’ll declare himself an alcoholic and check into treatment.
Blagojevich is Serbian Orthodox, so I don’t think he has a preacher. (I think the term would be pope.) For some reason, the mental picture of Blago giving a press conference with his stupid hair and a guy in brocade vestments and a big hat behind him is cracking me up.
See, this is why *you’re *not under indictment. You understand these things. Blago is not nearly the Evil Overlord you are.
I’m guessing he’ll be using some variation on the Chewbacca Defense.
BTW, Inigo, congratulations on your impending nuptials!
Game, set, match!
Everytime he lies his hair gets stupidier.
Can he just name someone ridiculous to the senate seat right now before he gets kicked out?
Only a fool would take the seat. What he SHOULD do is name someone he hates but who is a credible candidate, just to be a jerk.
What I don’t understand, of course, is why rich persons who commit such crimes–and I’m thinking Madoff as well–don’t take the elementary precaution of having extra passports & whatnot prepared. That’s covered in the Legion of Doom orientation.
It’s not so much that Luthor advises you to that as it is that you don’t get in if you haven’t done it already.
Oh yeaf - and it wouldn’t such to actually face the prospect of having 2 sitting senators… What a state! :smack:
That’s what I’m hoping. I don’t think Dennis Rodman is doing anything.
I recall a scene from the 1967 comedy A Guide for the Married Man, where Robert Morse gives Walter Matthau lessons in getting away with adultery. One important rule: “Deny, deny, deny!” We see a wife walking in on her husband and some floozy. She’s astonished and he keeps calmly saying, “What?” She keeps protesting and he keeps saying, “What?” Like, “What are you talking about?” 
This continues while the floozy gets dressed, he kisses her goodbye and she leaves. Husband settles into his easy chair and starts to read the paper. Wife say, “But I just saw you and her . . .” “What?” Finally, with an utterly baffled look on her face, she says, “Harry?” “What?” “What would you like for dinner?”
Almost never works, I’m sure, but it sounds just like the angle Blago is playing.
You have to admire his tenacity but I seriously doubt he is going to score points with Bad Horse on this caper.
“I am not a crook.”
Ooh! A talking Blagojevich action figure. Says phrases like[ul][li]If I don’t get what I want and I’m not satisfied with it, then I’ll just take the Senate seat myself.[]I’ve got this thing and it’s fuckin’ golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for fuckin’ nothing.[]I want to make money[]I do not want to be governor for the next two years[]They’re not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them.[]I want to thank you again for your support and friendship, and we are going to do everything we can to get that capital bill[]Our recommendation is fire all those fucking people, get ’em the fuck out of there and get us some editorial support[/ul]It’s the hot toy this season![/li]
Enjoy,

Dude. The screenplay practically writes itself…
I think he should name Oprah. Who’s gonna dare to vote against Oprah?
