Like your crazy ex-boy/girlfriend or herpes, former governor Rod Blagojevich just won't go away. We already know about his appearance on Letterman tonight, which given Dave's cantankerous manner might be worth watching, but this morning we were dismayed to find Blago ruining our morning again by swinging by the Today Show on NBC. He called the impeachment a "hijacking," kept bitching about the witnesses, claimed he was offered the chance to stay on as an incapacitated governor through 2010, and continued to compare himself to the thousands of Americans who have lost their jobs. So, just like every other damn interview he's done in the last 10 days. Except he quotes Jesus this time.

So why in the hell is he doing this? I mean, Letterman? Does he think people are going to applaud him when he comes out? Some will out of habit I guess, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear a smattering of boos.
Its, dammit. ITS.

Thank you.
That kind of thing (obviously) sends me into minor fits. I can't help it. I'm a copy editor.
I'm not even going to bother watching that clip because I already know what the talking Muppet head will say.
Wait, that insults Muppets.
Well, considering he has the same PR firm as our favorite Cowardly Lion, I would think that we are doomed to an eternity of seeing this puddin head pop up. And don't think his impending prison term will curtail that. I see someone doing an interview with him in the prison laundry room and he will be saying THE SAME DAMN THINGS he is saying now...
What could he possibly say on Letterman that's entertaining or interesting, or that hasn't been heard already?
I don't know who I'm more pissed at: Blago for continuing this 'Im innocent' charade, or Letterman and his people for booking this guy who has nothing to offer but his now-lame song and dance regarding his trial. He doesn't seem appropriate for Letterman's show, unless Letterman is hurting for ratings that much and just wants to make fun of Blago's hair. Blago reading a top 10 list, maybe. But a sitdown interview? Why?
