    PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS!

    This guy is just dying to talk to you…

    and the funny part is, from the video, you can tell he wants to run his yap. The press knows that and was thisclose to getting something from him.

    What a piece of work.


  2. - wordslinger - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:20 am:

    If anyone has Rod for their Secret Santa, he would use a new tracksuit.


  3. - Gabriel - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:20 am:

    What is the Governor’s nickname?

    I’m reassured with “hang loose” and jogging in 6 inches of snow for the soul.


  4. - Belle - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:26 am:

    Was Nanook planning on running in golf spikes?


  5. - Belle - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:27 am:

    Bet he doesn’t come in out the rain either…lol
    ok, now I’m done.


  6. - OfficeGirl - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:27 am:

    Thank you MSNBC for showing the world our Governor, Rod Blagojevich in spandex pants… as if Illinois isn’t getting made fun of enough.


  7. - Say WHAT? - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:29 am:

    Jogging keeps the love in your heart? Makes me want to hurl!


  8. - bockrand - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:41 am:

    He must not have been jogging much in November based on his lack of love for Obama.

    Gabriel–we always refer to him as Goblomebich.


  9. - green line - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:42 am:

    I have run with him and he does not run an 8:30 mile for 7 miles. Once the reporters drop back he drops to about a 10 minute mile and stops at about 3 or 4.


  10. - bockrand - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:44 am:

    Apparently the mere sight of Goblomebich causes the DOW to tumble.


  11. - Illinois Taxpayer - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 10:50 am:

    “Hang Loose” while I look for my lips.


  12. - IrishPirate - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 11:10 am:

    We have gone beyond the absurd into the surreal.

    We have entered the MiloRod zone.

    Do not adjust your intertubes……..do not flinch and look away.

    The end is nigh!


  13. - Jail house Rod - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 11:23 am:

    The guy is LOVING all the attention. Notice how he kept lingering, acting like he was walking away. Then he’d wait for another question. I honestly think he’s getting a real kick out of this. There appears to be no sense of reality.


  14. - scoot - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 11:38 am:

    I love Springfield, I love Springfield…hahaha and he he has shown his love by spending so much time in Springfield.


  15. - seriously? - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 11:44 am:

    Am I the only one that caught on the the leggings? Geesh.


  16. - Jackie - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 11:51 am:

    President-elect Barack Obama has won another contest: He’s been named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2008.
    Sorry Rod you lose AGAIN!


  17. - trafficmatt - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 12:41 pm:

    Does anyone else find it funny that the Guv has PERFECT hair BEFORE he goes jogging? Don’t most people get up, work out, get sweaty and THEN take a shower and comb the hair? Hasn’t the guv heard of a hat or a beanie for your head? It’s pretty darn cold out there Rod, put a beanie on, you might catch a cold, you can comb your hair later.


  18. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 3:06 pm:

    What a whackjob. Hear how the talking heads laugh at him? What a hustler! He couldn’t shut up if his lips were glued together.


  19. - Mo - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 3:33 pm:

    The Capitol Fax Blog puts love in my heart.

    Thanks Rich


  20. - Cogito - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 4:47 pm:

    Just keep picturing him in an orange jumpsuit picking up litter along the highway.


  21. - Disgusted - Wednesday, Dec 17, 08 @ 9:09 pm:

    OMG, helmet head on stick legs. From the side view, his ears are ENORMOUS - with the overly long hair, from the side he looks like one of Santa’s elves. Get a haircut and have them thin it out, Goofy.


  22. - Down State - Thursday, Dec 18, 08 @ 5:59 am:

    We are going end up riding this out. Continue to be the laughing stock of the U.S. as usual. When will people learn to do their research before voting? He is just another product of Chicago corruption. Why should anyone be shocked at his behavior? Blagojevich is just a pile of “Pelosi”. Are there any honest politicians?
