Apparently "Hot Rod" Blagojevich was caught on tape trying to scalp the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by Barack Obama.
You done screwed up Rod.
I'm just wondering how much a U.S. Senate seat would have gone for on Ebay. Heck, Sarah Palin put a Jet up on ebay so she says. People have put up snowflakes that look like Jesus and even cornflakes that look like cornflakes on Ebay. The weird of the weird can be found daily on Ebay. People buy the stuff is the really strange part.
Well at least if you are going to not be secret about being corruptible you should be really public about your intentions. Start the bidding at like $5,000 and see what you get.
If you are too lazy for Ebay, you can do Craigslist. I've never used Craigslist. It just sounds creepy. Who is Craig and why did he get a list? At least Ebay had some television commercials with signing fools.
I think the problem is not that you want to get something for the appointment Rod, the problem lies in the fact that you did not make this a public bid. This is like the epitome of a no bid contract. At least make it a fair process and put out a request for proposal (RFP).
Or you should have called Bill Jefferson and seen if he wanted the seat. I've heard he's got a lot of cash in a freezer and is as of Saturday evening out of a job. He's quite good at avoiding jail also. Or you could pull a Marion Barry and finds a way to say "He Set me up" and get some power from the people. I'm not so sure you will be.
Here's what Blago said yesterday
Well had you done it "open and notoriously" on Ebay then you would have probably fared better. Rod you did learn something at Law School though. Or somebody told you to say open and notoriously. I'm not quite sure. But you should have done it on Ebay.
