Gov Blago

The political scandal of the year goes to....

Drumroll, please....

Rod Blagojevich, the governor of Illinois for trying to sell Obama's vacant Senate seat like Congress is a Lakers Game and Obama's seat is courtside.

He gets caught, arrested, bails himself out, then goes to work the next day (his birthday).

Seriously, what was this man thinking?

What is any politician who gets caught smack-dab in the middle of a scandal thinking?

I actually like political scandals because they're funny.

Not funny for the constituents who have corrupt people for representatives, but funny in a way.

I mean, you have got to be the most arrogant man in the world to think you were going to get away with something like that.

The media's coverage of it has been incessant (and quite entertaining on it's own) but when you're ready for a laugh, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert hardly ever disappoint.
