Oh, Rod Blagojevich! You just have to flaunt your idiotic self and stupid hair for everyone to see. You have to sell out after attempting to sell a U.S. Senate seat.
If you haven't heard all ready, Blagojevich guest-starred in "Rod Blagojevich Superstar", a Jesus Christ Superstar parody and Secondy City production, which is playing at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre. (What's so Shakespearean about this production?!)
The former governor was removed from office in January and pled not guilty to federal corruption charges. According to an Associated Press article, he appeared on stage wearing a suit and tie.
"Where were you when I was impeached?" he asked the audience.
The AP article also states Blagojevich was able to plug NBC's "I'm a Celebrity...Get me out of here", on which his wife, Patti, is a contestant. He asked the audience to vote to keep her on the show, which asks viewers which celebrity should leave a Costa Rican jungle.
The article pointed out that Blagojevich said "In the tradition of Chicago politics, you can vote ten times," Blagojevich joked. "Vote early and often."
Okay, can this couple just SHUT UP AND DIE?! Seriously. I recall when news broke at the beginning of 2009 that the FBI had recordings of Blagojevich trying to sell Obama's vacated seat. You would think that a person in the right mind would just stay low for a while and not make any public appearances. Since Blagojevich is a freakin' idiot, he paraded himself countless times in front of the camera.
I mean come on, most of us admit that we have done stupid stuff (perhaps relationship/career/social life-ending mistakes)-of course probably not as major as what the former governor did, but afterwards we stay low for a bit, express remorse and eat some humble pie.
When guest-starring, Blagojevich joked about being corrupt and cheating the residents of Illinois. I am sure the audience roared with laughter. I would have done the opposite. I would have heckeled(sp?) him. I would have thrown whatever I could find in my purse(dirty tissues, feminine products) at him. I would have screamed at the top of my lungs yelling things such as "YOU DESERVE TO GO TO PRISON FOR WHAT YOU DID! LAY LOW OR DIE!" BOO HISS!
If Rod and Patti Blagojevich are readng this right now, I have this to say to them:
"Governor and Mrs. Blagojevich, what you two did was WRONG. The only publicity you guys deserve is when you are found guilty for corruption and sent to prison or if you get arrested for disorderly conduct or a DUI. Don't go on D-list celebrity reality shows. Don't go on talk shows joking about attempting to screw over the election process. If you haven't done so already, examine yourselves and figure out why the heck the governor was impeached. There's a damn good reason. Please hide out. Lay low. Live like hermits."
Besides, if the Blagojevichs take my advice, this would be the perfect opportunity for the former governor to fire his hairstylist and find a new hairdo.
