Quote of the Day
My friend Sara, watching a Blagojevich campaign ad (in which he conveniently provides us with video and audio of him uttering the words "I'm the worst person on Earth"):

He looks like he's straight from Lego's "American Politics" set... Cylindrical head and snap on hair.

I can't believe I get to do this for another four years.

Update: If you want to watch Blagojevich have one of his famous public losses of momentum, watch this victory speech, ignore the bizarre Elvis reference at :18, the weird smile at 1:10, the creepy smug kid behind him chewing gum who only gets funnier to watch as the video goes on, and behold a bizarre ramble at 2:15:

"You know, I get up every single day, have for the last four years, as the Governor of this great state, and Illinois is a great state. What makes Illinois such a great state isn't the map, isn't the shape of it, not the size of it, not even the climate of it! Sometimes it's good, sometimes the weather's not so good. What makes Illinois such a special place are the hard-working people who live in it.

See if you can count how many times Blagojevich refers to "hard work" in this speech. Does he not have a speechwriter, or what?
