Blagojevich Back In Black Clothes After Arrest (PHOTOS)

If Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich wants to prove he's innocent, he might consider dressing like it. On Monday, one day before his arrest, the governor wore an all-black ensemble to a press conference where he asked state agencies to suspend business with Bank of America.

On Tuesday, after Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges and released on bail, his attorney Sheldon Sorosky told reporters, "He's sad, surprised and innocent."

But on Wednesday, Blagojevich was back at work and back to wearing the color often associated with crooks...from head-to-toe.

WEDNESDAY

Blagojevich wears a black shirt, black pants, black shoes, black overcoat, and carries a black briefcase.

Is it possible the weather turned colder and he chose a different coat? (He's still a crook, but really...)

[Susej]

Do they cut the hair of new inmates in IL jails?

[GeorgeP922]

I was thinking the SAME thing.

Yes, some prisons do require an initial cut, but I don't think a prison can legally force you to cut it after intake.

Also remember, this SOB is not going to the cushy IL Penitentiary, he's going to FEDERAL prison.

Also remember, in Federal court there is NO PAROLE.

How grand it would be if they made him and Ted Stevens share a cell,

Now thats BIPARTISANSHIP I can believe in!

Don't worry, he'll be wearing an orange jumpsuit soon enough.

Were all all missing the most damning evidence of this man's poor judgment: HIS HAIR. Totally ridiculous and unacceptable

[RCRublik]

So that's what Charles Bronson looks like without the moustache.

I look at those pictures and all I can think of:

"The missiles are flying. Hallelujah, Hallelujah! "

[berrycooda]

I wear black and I am not a crook...

What does that have to do with anything.

At least he wasn't wearing a "hoodie"

[Pavane]

Hey. I LIKE hoodies.(B­ut then, being 89, everyone thinks I look cute wearing one.)

[DubiousAtBest]

Does he have a pentagram burned into his forehead that he is hiding or something?
That big shelf of hair look so bizarrely fake. I think I had that haircut when I was a child in the 70s.

[gavinjny]

Why is black always synonymous with bad???
black=bad, white=good
Im so sick of these associations in this society

[WestCoastWoman]

He looks like a gangsta street thug.... oh that's right, he IS!

[local21]

Is it wrong to wear a beaver pelt on your head?

[Bitsko]

What's the purpose of this non-story again?

[Forester]

narrow eyes, no forehead - most unfortunate

[MarkVA71]

Is his hair for real?
