Blagojevich Hair Brush "The Football" On Hand At All Times

The New York Times reports on the real Rod Blagojevich:

And yet, Mr. Blagojevich, 52, rarely turns up for work at his official state office in Chicago, former employees say, is unapologetically late to almost everything, and can treat employees with disdain, cursing and erupting in fury for failings as mundane as neglecting to have at hand at all times his preferred black Paul Mitchell hairbrush. He calls the brush "the football," an allusion to the "nuclear football," or the bomb codes never to be out of reach of a president.

This guy is such an arrogant jerk.

From the above photo, Blago looks like the fifth Beatle.

that's funny! John, Paul, George, Ringo and Blago. What a group that'd be.

[LadyMing]

I hope he gets a reality show, even if it's from Jail. I would watch it! That fact he obsesses about that hair, and yet it still looks like 'that' makes him even funnier-or more strange.....

Pathetic seems an appropriate word, actually.

[lmvd3]

His "hair" is simply hideous. Bleccchhhh. Matches his personality, apparently.

am I reading the onion?

[roshni]

Sounds delightful! But I thought it was a rug.

[Emerald1943]

There is something terribly wrong with this guy!!

[hypnus]

Fumble !!!!

[Maygressive]

How big is his hairbrush anyway and how many staffers does it take to operate it ?

[baptox]

Only his special hairbrush will do when he needs a spankin'....

[eden4barack08]

That pic in the front is the only one showing that Blago actually has a forehead.

[Bystander]

Blago would have been the perfect running mate with John Edwards!

Another dumb story. What no hairbrush link to Obama/

[illinoisan]

There was a whole episode several years ago when it was discovered that he had an Illinois State Police security detail handling the hairbrush. I s#it you not.

LOL. He's got some precious helmet on.

[Susanfrom29]

Should be, it's made out of tin foil and looks just like a wig.
