Question of the day
Tuesday, Jan 27, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller * The late edition. From Sam Donaldson…
Um, Sam? The governor will be lucky to get a job sweeping floors after he gets outta prison. I dunno about New York and DC, but we have slightly higher standards for A-List parties around here. * The Question: Post imprisonment employment opportunities for Rod Blagoejvich? Snark highly encouraged.

I’d say the reasoning behind Donaldson’s statements are fairly obvious. The fact is Donaldson and Blagojevich have something in common, they both sport and have a weak spot for ridiculously bouffant hairdos.

There’s still the run for president.
I mean, all great leaders at one point or another spend time in prison. It’s the low point of the life journey — but precisely the place where religion is found and the context for redemption is defined.
I suspect the presidential bid is very much in the cards.
Either that or he’ll do a Ted Haggard and have an HBO documentary while selling insurance. Of course, Haggard has a different set of issues — and even some new ones over the past week.
Blagojevich is certainly on target for becoming an iconic American. Pretty soon Springsteen will be writing a prison ballad about the life and times of Blagojevich.
BTW — country music superstars are notably absent in the governor’s metaphoric moments. Where’s the comparison to Johnny Cash? Merle Haggard?

Hi folks. Rod Blagojevich here for Paul Mitchell. Y’know, back when I was Illinois governor, this is the ONLY brush I used after 12 million voters elected me. Wanna know why? Reduces styling time. Total control. Ultimate comfort. Availabe in four sizes: S, M, L, and “The Governor”. The Express Ion Complex is infused into bristles and barrel to help reduce static and flyaways and speed drying time, while staying gentle on hair. Corkscrew bristles hold onto hair and provide ideal tension for a smoother finish, whether straightening or adding curl. The lightweight soft touch handle provides a comfortable and slip-free styling experience. Take it from me - call right now and tell ‘em Rod sent you.

Rod is addicted to cameras and attention, and has always shown a major attraction for Republican things (Voted for Reagan, Posed with Nixon). I’m sure he’d accept a job with Fox News as a sometime on-air commentator and web personality. He can’t be any more wrong than Bill Kristol, for crying out loud, but as Geraldo shows, right or wrong is not an issue to be on FOX. You just need to be good at stirring the, well, you know what.
He’ll troll for a book deal, no question.
After that, When Emil becomes President of the university, he’ll perhaps throw him a gig as a guest lecturer. If I was a used car salesman, I’d pay him to make commercials for my biggest rival car dealership.
Seriously, I don’t know what he and Patti can do after the curtain comes down. I’d say live off of investment income, but if they have that much debt, how could they set up the nest egg? My prediction is a divorce and Patti and the kids going to live with her dad, partly as a way to evade more taxes and debts, and Rod living off handouts from Ricky Hendon, Ken Dunkin, and Jay Hoffman. He’s destroying his family as much as he did our state.

You’re taking Donaldson’s quotes out of context, and certainly not allowing him to call any witnesses. Actually, I thought it was a pretty good piece - Blago is very entertaining, and certainly livens things up. Why should the chuckles be reserved for those of us around the rail?
I think my kids next birthday party would be a hoot if Blago comes. They love potty talk.

I think maybe we’ve all missed the point of these TV appearances. It one big extended screen test. He can be removed from office on Friday and start his Fox News talk show on Monday, making $1 million bucks a year. The trial won’t be for a few years, so he can sock away some dough to tide the family over while he’s in the slammer.
I thought he was holding on until the very end so he could keep drawing a paycheck. Hey, it’s more than 3 grand every week he hangs on. In retrospect, it makes more financial sense to skip the trial so he can get it over with and start his new, lucrative career that much sooner.
- Objective Dem - Tuesday, Jan 27, 09 @ 3:37 pm:
He could go to work for the Chicago Christian Industrial League watering plants in the medians. I hear they do a good job working with ex-felons when they are released.

Rod could take over the Executive Inspector General job and do at least as well as the current guy.

word, AA always wondered if Stoolie Stu had to worry about “a terrible traffic accident.”

“Hey, I’m Rod here at Cash-4-Gold. When I tell you something is F-ing Golden, you can count on it! Just ask the Illinois Senate and the US district Court.
So come down to Cash-4-Gold, where Patti hocked her wedding ring before she married my publicist and where we always pay the highest price for your unneeded gold items! That’s Cash-4-Gold, and tell ‘em Rod sent ya!”
