Impeached Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich's trial begins today in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune has all the news and scandal you could possibly want.

In case you missed it when it first came out, some opportunistic genius came up with "Blago" volumizing shampoo and conditioner. The ad copy reads:

Blago Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner have been carefully formulated with special ingredients that actually make the hair feel fuller and thicker, or “really big”!

It's not boring to be an Illinois voter is all I'll say.

stuff like this happens all the time around here, political corruption, cunning hair care product, narcissistic governor on parade, chicago politics, pay for play, illinois politics, rod blagojevich

I voted for the guy. Must have had hair in my eyes at the time.

Say what? I'll sue the bastard. But first, I'll hang him upside down by his Polish sausage. He'll pay me royalties when all is said and done, I can tell you that!
Everyone is jealous of my damned hair.

Thanks for taking the time from your busy schedule to comment, Rob B. Is it "really, really" big?

Sixtycandles--I voted for the jerk, too.

Trilogy--I'd love to post a tidbit or two, but I can hardly stand to read the coverage!

Are they managing to do this without paying him anything? If so, good on them!

SS--He should be paying THEM. The more exposure he gets, the less likely it is that he'll get convicted. There's brains (probably reptilian brains) under that hair.

Jmac--I know you're hip to it.

What I want to know is whether Todd Stroger is next. We don't have enough Illinois politicians in prison right now. I don't know what the record is, but we need at LEAST two.

Amusing, Big hair for another Big dick! The guy lives in his own universe, doesn't he?

His hair is really quite a...phenomenon. Perhaps his hair is to blame - its evil and feeds voices into his head. Not his fault at all. You wouldn't blame a diabetic for his blood sugar problems, would you?
