Blagojevich: -1,000
Edwards: 0
It's not difficult deciding who is the bigger disappointment here; it's John Edwards.
Blago: Basically a good looking, dumb hick who somehow was lucky enough to marry into a big time Chicago political fam-- the Mells.
Edwards: a good looking, wayyyyyy more intelligent blue collar guy. worked his way up, became a big time attorney... then made the mistake of going into politics. started getting $500 haircuts and wearing $2,000 suits.
Blago: With the help of his father-in-law, managed to buffalo IL voters and become Governor of Illinois. Blago didn't bother to move to the state capitol-- prefers living/jogging in Chicago neighborhoods he's familar with. His utter stupidity revealed for all to see on The Daily Show and on The Apprentice-- he couldn't use a computer, and didn't know how to write a paragraph on the subject at hand.
Edwards: Much better at using MSM/propaganda; gets picked to be VP running mate to doomed John Kerry in the 2004 POTUS race. Dems too dumb to know the ticket should have been Edwards/Kerry.
Blago: On the witness stand this past week, can't shut his BIG mouth... talks over the objections of his own attorneys...at one point his attorney shouts "Objection, Rod!" to which Blago replies: Why are you objecting to me?" Thus proving, It's all about me.
Edwards: Busted for allegedly using money the wrong way... hiding his UNattractive mistress (can you blame him?) and their offspring. Today pulls a Bubba Clinton: "I did not have sex with... errrrrr I mean, I did not break the law".
Both schmucks are probably finished politically. Blago's antics and used-car salesman patter is not amusing to the jury.
Edwards' hair will also be perfect for his upcoming trial.
My money says Blago will soon be an unhappy cell mate to the other busted IL Governor, George Ryan... while Edwards may skate.
