Rod Blagojevich is Now More Awesome Than Ever

Nut Blag did it again! Mr. 7% Approval Rating just went ahead and appointed a Senate successor to Obama's seat, anyway. Despite being told by everyone that matters, that they'd reject anyone he was stupid enough to name to the Senate, Blagojevich appointed Roland Burris to the Senate.

This strategy was 4-fold for Hot Roddy.

1- It maintains Blago's staunch stance of denial. He thinks that if he can close his eyes, the problem will go away. Making an appointment anyway is consistent with his ethos of "Ok, I am under investigation, but I still have a job to do. I won't just sit around all day with my feet up, waiting to be found guilty."

2- Since Roland Burris is black (and yes, he has a mustache), this engraciates Blagojevich to the African-American community, which has historically been a key demographic for him. Which is odd since Rod has no chance of ever gaining an elected office again.

3- Burris is a safe pick. He was the Illinois Attorney Gengeral a few years ago, and has a clean record and basically has as little controversey around him as one can have. So in essence, Blagojevich is defying the Senate to shoot this pick down.

4- It just makes Rod more awesome.


Rod, you're the best. Around. Nothing is ever gonna keep you down.
