Blagojevich Is Blagonevich

Thursday January 29, 2009
Rod Blagojevich Rat Photo Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich may be out of a job, but he's likely to retain his status as the nation's favorite punch line a while longer. Here are David Letterman's latest riffs on Blago:
"Blagojevich looks like the guy that tells you you need new brake pads, you know? ... He looks like an insurance salesman that keeps calling you 'Captain.' 'Hey, Captain.' ... He looks like a guy who backs you up with his aftershave. Whoah! ... He looks like a guy who disappears with your deposit after he takes your contracting contract ... He looks like the guy who tries to set you up with his wife."

"He looks like the producer of an adult entertainment award show ... He looks like your wife's ex-husband ... He looks like the guy at the high school reunion who knows everything about you and you have no idea who he is ... He looks like the guy that goes to a family barbecue and criticizes how you arrange the charcoal ... He looks like a guy who claims to know Jon Lovitz."
