I’ve been able to steer pretty clear of the Rod Blagojevich train wreck but now he’s making it impossible.

“Taken out of context…”

“Impeachment process is unconstitutional…”

“The fix is in…”

His lawyer quit and now he’s going on the freak show, media tour circuit. Kicking it off by talking to Diane Sawyer. Wants to call Rahm Emmanuel as a witness. And, he even pulls the Oprah Winfrey card. He considered “O” for the infamous Senate seat.

“She seemed to be someone who had helped Barack Obama in a significant way to become president, she had a much broader bully pulpit than a lot of senators.”

“she probably wouldn’t take it,”

“If I offered it to her how do you make sure it doesn’t look like a gimmick.”

Pretty rich, huh? The idea that this guy is weighing the gimmick factor.
