For a man that prides himself on his hair, he really doesn’t take very good care of his eyebrows.

Rod Blagojevich jogs to the Fox Chicago headquarters and stares blankly in the front window hoping for a chance to appear on the station’s Sunday morning program.

Guess Fox wants us to believe that have stolen Blagoof away from WLS just like they got Flannery from CBS.

“In it’s quest to bring you fair and balanced news, Fox Chicago will replace seasoned journalists who report on people in the news with the people who are actually in the news. This week we introduce our new political reporter, Rod Blagojevich, and next week you will meet our new food critic, Betty Loren Maltese, and our criminal correspondent, Drew Peterson.”

The United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois often question him, just because they find him INSIPID.
His HAIR alone has experienced more than a lesser man’s body.
His blood smells like FRIED CHICKEN.
He is the most REVILED man in the world.
He is Milorad Blagojević, “Rod”
He will go to FEDERAL PRISON for a Long Long Time.
He is the most interesting man in the world.

C’mon Rod, let a smile be your umbrella
Just let a smile be your umbrella,
On a rainy, rainy day . . .
And if your sweetie cries, just tell her,
That a smile will always pay . . .
Whenever skies are gray,
Don’t you worry or fret,
A smile will bring the sunshine,
And you’ll never get wet!
So, let a smile be your umbrella,
On a rainy, rainy day . . .
(How did this mugshot stay under wraps for so long?)

Rich,
Any idea why it took so long to get it? Seems like every other dime a dozen crook gets their mug shot released immediately.

I’ll Get Through This, Naturally! - Gilbert O’Sullivan, enhanced by VanillaMan
In a little while from now
Before the public I’ll vow
I’m an innocent man, they’d understand
I’ve always been able to wow
In my climb to the top, in an FBI eavesdrop
In their effort to, bid me adieu
So they can pass higher taxes later
Leaving voters in the lurch, or at church
Where they’d be saying, “My God, that’s tough
The Governor’s in cuffs”
Another celebrity arraigning
Roland’s on the phone
Begging for Obama’s throne
I’ll get through this, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was the Top Dog, as they say
To Democratic cheer, I had no fear
About the scam I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
In a budget crunch, with a political punch
Shredded it into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
I could count on Rezko raising
Millions I would need to have
To satisfy my DC craving
In this hour of need, I’m certain yes, indeed
I’ll get through this, naturally
It seems to me that there is a way out
Out of this mess, it can’t be mended
Left unattended
What do I do? What do I do?
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I whined, when Patti dined
On a spider in Prime Time
Never wishing to be a chump
I was an apprentice to Donald Trump
But he couldn’t understand
Why an innocent man
Couldn’t be his guide to new fortunes
Forcing me to part, but I’m too smart to be jokin’
Despite every attempt by me
The Donald’s hair is broken
Everyone is just jealous of me
As they burn me in effigy
I’ll get through this, naturally!

Comment by jaded voter Friday, May 21, 10 @ 4:59 pm
I realize that Fox deserves credit for somehow getting hold of this mug shot — I’ve never been a fan of mug-shot journalism, but that’s another topic — but if your organization didn’t take the photo and doesn’t own it, what’s the propriety of slapping your logo on it?
