He’s been a bad man. A very, very bad man.

Single-handedly, Governor Rod Blagojevich has reintroduced the kind of heavy-handed corruption the state of Illinois has been so well known for over the years. With a heady mix of hubris and narcissism, Blagojevich has successfully pushed former Governor Switzer out of the number one spot for sleaziest politician. Yes, what Switzer did was a pretty sleazy thing, but the governor of Illinois was more than willing to put his self-interest and well-being before all of the citizens to whom he swore to protect and serve. Switzer was doing his job. His flaw was hypocrisy and that enchanting bit of poontang he had on the side.

Money and power, my friends. Money and power. Politics is a damnable thing. If I have one sane hair on my head (I’m bald, I know), I pray it will keep me from ever running for any form of political office. It’s nothing more than a cesspool filled with greed and lust, empty promises and a whole lotta horseshit. And none of us is immune. Even Obama is bound to disappoint us one day. Although, I hope that I am wrong.

But you know what? Governor Blagojevich’s worst sin isn’t that he tried to finagle truckloads of cash from fellow politicians by presenting them with the possibility of taking over the open Senate seat left by President-elect Obama. It wasn’t that he even considered taking the open seat for himself. His worst sin wasn’t even his attempt, by withholding state funding for Wrigley Field, to muscle the Chicago Tribune into firing the editorialists who had been unflattering to him in the prominent rag.

Okay, maybe those are his worst sins. But you know what comes in as a close second?

That’s right. That hairdo.

Mr. Blagojevich, Donnie Osmond called. He wants his haircut back.
