Blagojevich finishes second behind Palin

Posted in:

• Illinois

* Second place? Really? I want a recount…

The National Society of Newspaper Columnists chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as the winner of its annual Sitting Duck Award, a tongue-in-cheek honor that pokes fun at the most ridiculed newsmakers in the United States.

Palin beat out Democrat Rod Blagojevich, the ousted former governor of Illinois allegedly caught trying to sell President Barack Obama’s Senate seat.

Palin is resigning, so Blagojevich’s trial next year might put him on top. Operative word: Might.

I’ve compared the two governors at least once before. Read my Sun-Times column from last September (before the arrest) by clicking here.
