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?

What could he possibly say on Letterman that's entertaining or interesting, or that hasn't been heard already?

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...

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.
