The Blagojevich Media Blitz Drinking Game

By Karl Klockars in Miscellaneous on Jan 26, 2009 8:00PM

If you haven't overdosed on Blagojevich-ing with Good Morning America and The View this morning, perhaps you'll find yourself glued to Larry King Live (or even ABC's NightLine) this evening. We're assuming he'll rehash all the Oprah-centric senatorial questions, as well as repeating his talking points about Impeachment Proceeding Rule 8b and how unfair all this is to him. Since it's Larry King, we're also going to assume there will be questions like "What's it like being governor" and "Gee, you've got a goofy last name" and "So, why are you here again?"

As is our wont with major media events related to Chicago, we've compiled a short list of reasons to drink during the program this evening. Not that the state of the state itself isn't reason enough to stay 'faced pretty much 24-7. Should you choose to play at Kuma's and you can pair the drinks with a Bleepin' Blago Burger. Maybe have them mix you up an Im-Peach-Tini or an Effen Blago Cocktail. List after the jump, and as always, feel free to add to it.
