Blago Gets Noogie, Refuses To Do Nixon Impression On "The View" (VIDEO)

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich continued his television campaign proclaiming his innocence on "The View" Monday and ended up getting his hair tousled by cohost Joy Behar.

Read a live-blog of Blago's complete appearance HERE.

After a segment of Barbara Walters, via satellite, questioning Blago one-on-one, the panel came back. Most of the interview consisted of the Governor complaining that the Illinois impeachment trial won't allow him to bring witnesses who would prove his innocence.

At the end, Behar got upset that their time was over and asked him to do his Nixon impression, which she has heard is great. Caught off guard, Blago laughed but repeatedly refused, and earned a head rub from Behar.

Ick, how could Behar touch his hair? Wasn't she afraid her fingers would become permanently tangled in his hair?

I would have loved to see Nancy Grace on the show at the same time as him. The nostril flaring quotient would have been off the charts!

What does his attorney think about him appearing on all these television talk shows?

[JohnDewey]

His lead attorney has announced his intention to resign from the case. The interview that I read strongly suggested it was due to Blago not following counsel's advice.

This time the inedible are pursuing the unspeakable.

How un professional joy is ,I know she is a comedian but really she's not that funny.Where is all the hard questions??Remember Mccain and his interview it was like a fight for all and this segment seems so much different?? why is that??Is there a double standard?? Of course there is the view sucks anyway I don't think i have ever watched 1 whole show and you can see it's not getting any better at least from this clip

Whenever I see a posting claiming that Joy is NOT funny I check their HuffPo Profile to see if I can determine if their politics are conservative - or at least right of center.

It seems to me that conservatives find nothing funny about Behar, while we progressives/dems find nothing funny about Dennis Miller.

It seems almost predictable at times.

Blago: The King...of Denial!

[NewmanKitten]

Why did the View do it, some ask? Because the "girls" are just like the rest of us, and we love to hear them have their (our) shot at the "tool". And then, just after there's been a "credible stab" at the fool, they unleash the comics on him, aka, Joy.

That segment with Joy was so freakin' funny, we all needed that! The best way to deal with anyone who's just too out there, is the laugh at them. Joy absolutely HUMILIATED Blago yesterday - I don't know about the rest of you, but after his oversaturation on all media, I truly enjoyed that one!

[MsDebate]

Joy is a mess, she was really trying to see if that hair was real...Go girl!!!

[ohiomark]

If Blago had an "R" after his name, these shows would have never even booked him for this charade of a "press tour". This loser has no shame.

[DrJohnnySkeptic]

His repetition of the same phrases over and over are the signs of a liar.

[Bariis]

This Blago guy must be having the time of his life, foolishly parading around on this ridiculous media blitz tour on the eve of his impeachment. How humiliating.

[ScoutandBuckGoodDogs]

Watching him on Nightline right now and whatsherface is giving him he!! for his "out of context" bs. This guy is such a tool.

[ScoutandBuckGoodDogs]

Poor Blago. So persecuted. He's so busy defending his lego hair these days.

[progressivelady]

Behar is to funny she look's quite comfortable with Blago, like they hang out off camera, which I doubt they do, she is pretty good at her job, unlike the conservitive mouthpiece

[SwingVoter]

Did Sherrie lose some weight?

[jimrs6]

If so, Behar found it.
