Dave — I take a backseat to no man in enjoying Blago’s buffoonery. But I think this is probably good news. Blago should not get rich because he is a criminal. He should not sneak out of his public shame hole by becoming a silly celebrity who appears on the likes of Dancing with the Stars or Celebrity Apprentice (though I am sure Trump’s staff are eager to grab him). It would have been fun to watch for a while. But it would have also been a pretty ugly example of much that is wrong with the culture. Besides, he should know that the quickest path to martyrdom is to come out and admit that he is a “Gay American” and then go on Oprah. If that doesn’t work, he should point out that he’s long been an enemy of Wall Street. That tactic takes a bit longer, but it seems to work okay too.
