Good idea

The Southern Illinoisan’s Jim Muir has come up with a way to settle the ongoing spat between House Speaker Michael Madigan and Governor Rod Blagojevich:

Instead of you two fighting it out for control of the Democratic Party by taking cheap shots through the media, why not fight it out in a steel cage match like the one on WWE.

Just think of the possibilities and the revenue that would be generated by the millions of people who would pay to see “Rowdy” Rod Blagojevich meet “Menacing” Mike Madigan in a no-holds-barred, knockdown drag-out, slugfest. The event could be held for a live audience at the United Center in Chicago and then sold on a worldwide pay-per-view basis. Now, there’s a revenue stream!

The loser, of course, would walk off into political obscurity while the winner would be crowned as the King of the Democrats.

I, for one, would pay big money to see that one.
