I don't have cable, so instead of watching "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," I watch Rod Blagojevich hold news conferences.
I think he is my new favorite person. Again. Admittedly, he got a little boring for a while minus the swearing and flipping of the bangs. But now that he's refusing to attend his own impeachment trial, he's AWESOME.
My favorite quote so far was when he referred to his arrest as "our personal Pearl Harbor."
No wait, my real favorite was when he compared his impeachment trial to a public hanging of the 12 million citizens of Illinois.
No, hold on. My favorite favorite what when....
Oh, who am I kidding? Choosing a favorite Blagojevich quote is like picking a favorite child: It's impossible, although you generally prefer the one that says "fuck" the least.
But I do have a special place in my heart for this one, said at a recent news conference about his impeachment. In a fit of inspiration Blagojevich said, "If they can do this to a governor, they can do this to ANY CITIZEN in Illinois."
Did you get that? Watch OUT, citizens of Illinois. You could be IMPEACHED at any moment. One morning you'll just wake up and find out that the Senate is holding a hearing accusing you of selling a Senate seat. "That's impossible," you say. "How could I sell a Senate seat? I'm a construction worker. I just build houses and every so often yell slightly offensive things at women walking down the street." So what, says Blagojevich, the FBI is probably taping your phone calls right now. Ha!
I'm totally crossing my fingers that his next step involves chaining himself to the front of the governor's mansion.
