That’s precisely the question Mr. Blagojevich is asking. His answer? Nothing.
“I’m here in New York because I can’t get a fair hearing in Illinois, the state Senate in Illinois,” Blagojevich said in between TV appearances. “They’ve decided, with rules that are fixed, that don’t allow me as a governor the right to be able to bring in witnesses to prove that I’ve done nothing wrong.”
That’s what he says. In between TV appearances.
I have a theory. Well, it’s actually a mathematical equation that can predict the success of a person in scandal. And it goes like this:
[(Scandal + Media Whirlwind Proclaiming Innocence + More Denial) divided by (bangs + Larry King's suspenders)] is directly proportional to {[(the number of books you sell) multiplied by (the number of weeks on top of the NY Times Bestseller List)] divided by Bill Clinton}
Bonus points if you’re actually impeached. Minus points if you utter ”a relationship with Monica Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong.” That’s already been said.
What’s left for Blagojevich? There’s the book tour. The speaking tour. The audiobook. Narrated by Rod himself. And I hear Sean’s optioned it for a movie. Supposedly he wants to play Blagojevich. Too bad he doesn’t have the bangs.
