Go, Blago, go!

Ok, I’ve never done this before, but for some reason I’m really tickled with this idea. I’m going to have to rummage through the kids action figures when I get home and see if I can find a dark haired Ken doll or something similar. At which time I will see if I can set up a little movie set and make a fake commercial for the talking Blagojevich action figure and post it on youtube.

I’ll post a link if I actually get around to it. This video editing thing may be more difficult than I anticipate. I’ll consider it an extra bonus point if I can find one of the Ken dolls with an earring which I can paint or modify to look like a bluetooth headset.

Enjoy,
Steven

He should name himself as senator.

Or his attorney.

“Who are you going to believe? Me or your lyin’ ears”?

Complete with a blood curdling war cry of …

LEEERROOOOOYYYYYY JENNKIINNNNNNNSSSS! :smiley:

How are you going to feel when he pulls off the surprise play and goes all the waaaaaay ?

By that I mean he withstands impeachment, and even conviction.

This guy is a product of Chicago politics. There’s likely to be powerful politicians he’s compromised in the past and he could write a book you know. He goes down and everyone goes down.

That’s the only way this play makes sense to me.

no pope, that would be the other side. patriarch, metropolitan, archbishop, bishop, priest… although i really don’t think the big hats of the church would get involved. perhaps the priest… who would have a nifty hat and brocade vestments.

the others have very big shiny hats, which come to think of it could pull attention from the subject at hand… oh look! shiny!

could work!

Did you hear the whole press conference? He quoted Kipling at one point!

He may be crooked as hell, but he’s certainly got style.

You want cojones?

Those are the words of Spiro Agnew, the Vice President of the United States. At the time he said that, he was standing in front of a judge adter pleading no contest to a charge that he had failed to report as income kickbacks he had received while he was governor of Maryland – which he continued to receive while he was Vice President.

In exchange for the no contest plea, Agnew paid a fine, was disbarred and resigned as Vice President. Years later he told an interviewer he had “let go of all the bitterness” of that time.

THAT’S cojones!

I would. A million times.

BTW: Anyone feels like addressing your comments to Gov. Pouf like I have, go here.

They ask for real names and all, but it’s going to be fun if someone answers me. At the bottom where it asks what you want him to do, I said “pack. and leave”

Sorry, I’m having trouble with the idea of someone who’s Orthodox throwing a Hail Mary Pass.
The explanations of that line will add at least two pages to this thread.
Gawd. We’ve really gotta start requiring psychological screening of all folks who run for public office. I suspect DSM-V will have a picture of this clown under the Narcissistic Personality Disorder entry.

I’m banking on a stint in rehab for a coke problem. There’s just no way anybody could have this much self-centered gall without being a cokehead.

One other possibility is that Blag knows something we don’t… like maybe he’s got a blackmail line on someone powerful enough to make this go away (Obama, for instance). It’s highly dubious, but then again it beggars belief that someone would bluff so mightily while holding no cards whatsoever.

His balls are almost as big as his boobs.

I’m torn between defending the merits of the show, admitting the practical reality of the claim, and laughing hard enough to burst a blood vessel.

Tell that to every one of Bond’s villains. Or in the words of Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez:

“When it’s time to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.”
And for the record, the problem I have with the football analogy is that it’s theoretically possible. My guess, prescription meds - you heard it here first.

Here’s the thing: I like his hair. I hate the current fashion in hair, where it has to be so close to the guy’s head that it might as well be a crew-cut; I think most people look better with a little framing around their face.

That being said, the guy sets new standards in stupidly ballsy corruption. Or at least I hope he does.

They already make 'em.

Here you go

I saw him on TV. Apparently we are wrong. He is innocent and will prove it in court. So now we can all back down and allow him to continue his fine stewardship of the state. Quite a relief to find out he is pure.

I can appreciate (although I don’t agree with) your taste in a framed face, but THAT hair? He looks like all the 13 and 14 year old boys did when I was in junior high school back in 1972! That baby face of his doesn’t help the effect, either.

I liked the hairstyles of 1972. I’d like men to wear their hair between the bottom of the ear and chin-length. I think that style is the most becoming for most male faces, especially younger ones. Obviously (or maybe not), this does not apply to men who have lost all or most of the hair on the tops of their heads, having what my dad calls “a wide part.”

Why not? I’m sure Nixon wasn’t.
