That will be an advantage, said a nervous state Rep. Jack Franks, a Marengo Democrat, who follows in the footsteps of impeached former Gov. Rod Blagojevich this morning by co-hosting a radio show on WLS-AM.

“I would not even be close on that one,” Franks said of a contest between Blagojevich’s famous do and Franks’ sometimes less than perfectly coifed silver mane.

Franks fills in from 9 to 11 a.m. for the vacationing Pat Cassidy on the “Mancow and Cassidy” show. While Franks has been on the radio many times during his decade as state representative, this morning he’ll be on the air with Erich “Mancow” Muller.

  1. I thought it was a thunderstorm that awoke me last night but it turned out to be Joe Karaganis’s whaling at the moon upon learning of Elk Grove’s acceptance of O’Hare expansion.

  3. I am not a fan of Mancow and rarely listen to WLS, but am tuning in to hear Jack Franks. He’s doing a pretty good job so far, sounds comfortable.
