The Stupidest Man In The Room

Rod Blagojevich. Amazing hair. Less than amazing intellect.

I'm sure everyone has heard already about the Governor of Illinois' arrest and his love of the words "motherfucker" and "fucking." This man tried to sell Obama's former Senate seat (possibly to Jesse Jackson, Jr.) in addition to doing many other stupid things, like intimidating the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune. I wouldn't mess with a newspaper's editorial board, especially if I was in politics. And I certainly wouldn't talk about selling a Senate seat . . . on the phone . . . when I knew I was under investigation . . . and that the FBI would be listening to my phone calls.

Like President-Elect Obama and many others have already stated, I believe this guy should step down. But he won't. But he will eventually. He just wants to be a dick about it. God, he has beautiful hair.

What I don't get about this guy is that, yes, he could have benefitted from being able to appoint Obama's replacement. This is politics. Of course whoever you pick is going to owe you big time. A Senate seat is a big deal, a step towards the presidency, and that will be remembered. You could even be a little blatant about it probably, but you should expect the returns on this investment down the road. You can't look for something up front. This guy could have totally gotten away with being an immoral douchebag, but unfortunately he was a stupid-ass greedy immoral douchebag. So for that reason I say, "Rod Blagovanivichejevichneikoffneivich, sit your sorry white ass down."

By the way, I don't think J squared did anything wrong. Probably someone in his staff said that he would help Rod raise some campaign money down the road. Sure. Doesn't surprise me in politics, especially Chicago. But I seriously don't think it was with his expressed approval.

". . . motherfucker [the President-Elect] his senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him."

A Senate seat "is a fucking valuable thing, you just don't give it away for nothing."
