Here’s some courtroom sketch of that Blaggy guy, Illinois mafioso Rod Blagojevich, suffering under the burden of this incredible hair monster. Here’s a quick tip for voters on the lookout for “clean” candidates: If they have hair like this, in 2008, they are a complete fucking criminal. No exceptions. [Princess Sparkle Pony]
It’s like that episode of The Simpsons where Homer’s evil hair transplant makes him kill. Blago’s evil hair makes him call Barry a “motherfucker” and demand bribe money.
Damn you, Kin! I just read your alt text.
Who knew his fifth grade classmates would have foreseen his dilemma so many years prior?
It’s so nice to see Princess Sparkle Pony again! Please say something mean about Bill Kristol.
Sometimes, a cliche is a cliche for a reason.
NoWireHangers: Hahahahaha.
He’s morphing into the mom on Family Circus.
He’s very Dan Lauria, yes?

Wow, the artist must have been waiting for Blaggy to come along all his/her life! Look at the judge. This sketchmaster would plop the Dead Wombat Wig on Yul Brynner. If he was on trial that is. And not dead.
I think Ken and NoWireHangers are onto something. I’m pretty sure Blago’s hair has a life of its own when it testifies in court it will remind me of this little sketch from a soon to be canceled TV show.

Go to 3:55.
Good to know, I won’t be casting my vote for George Stephanopoulos this election!!!
I look forward to seeing him bald in his orange prison costume.
I also suspect he’ll get all tattooed up there.
It looks like that picture of the diseased black lung they scare kids with to keep them from smoking.
That should be hanging in the Louvre.
I can only imagine the poor MFA student trying to inject artistic perspective into that hair, only to scream “Aw, fuck it” and run screaming from the room.
Servo: Oh man, WIN…
Obviously, ROD BLAGOJEVICH needed that money to feed his hair-monster.

At least he waded into the legal battle wearing a helmet.
“Fifth Beatle???”
That incorrigible youngster Ken Layne is fuckin’ stunned, or he’d know the REAL Fifth Beatle was Stu Sutcliffe [RIP].
Blaggy is the second Hervé Villechaize. On stilts.
No way in hell is that his hair.
Got to be some sort of alien scalp appliance.
I don’t trust any hair if I can’t see the roots.
sezme: That comment might not play in Peoria, but in Canuckistan, that’s a definite “win.”
It’s funny because it’s true.
for real, you guys, i think he’s got a luxuuuuuurious mane.
Everytime I see that haircut I hear in my head the theme from My Three Sons.
When did Dennis the Menace’s father have sexual reassignment surgery and become a judge?
And that courtroom artist is incredible. Now I know what happens to the people who can’t copy the picture of the mouse in the art school ad.
Just think of the manscaping he can do with his new friends in the pokey:

magic titty: Is “Ponch” just too obvious?
BigBrainOnBrad: Since Dennis got his dye job, tamed his cow lick, and was elected Governor of Illinois.
When are the lazy Trib reporters gonna effin’ interview the effin’ grievin’ widow?
Canuckledragger: The American “Fifth Beatle” phenomenon involved whatever middle-aged radio huckster/promoter who worked on early Beatles U.S. tours and would don the awful “Beatle Wig” that was a popular novelty gift of 1965 and then start calling himself “The Fifth Beatle.” There were probably THOUSANDS of these guys, who all looked like Blaggy will look after 13 years in the slammer.
That is the cheapest toupee on god’s green earth. Blago needed the cash to invest in something a bit flatter.
Awww, c’mon. That’s what chia pets look like in the Winter.
They should have just arrested his hair, it’s clearly the brains behind this operation.
Didn’t Bridget Bardot campaign against just this sort of animal abuse?
Ken Layne: Dude, I am from Canuckistan, not MARS!
I was listening to Murray The K. when you were still an impure thought in yer Daddy’s head.
I now have IRON-CLAD PROOF that my own governor, Republican Rick Perry, is a VILE CRIMINAL SLUG! Google him and check out his hair. His nickname is Gov. Goodhair, for real. Googling that term even sends you to his website. He’s been called that in print, by the Dallas Morning News and other big dailies in the state. For real. CRIMINAL.
Canuckledragger: After last week’s Canuckistani politics thread, I was pretty sure someone around here would understand.
What I hate is the way the hair is a betrayal of Blago’s ethnic heritage. A careful perusal of Serbian politicians reveal the hair always stands straight up in the front, revealing a giant forehead — think Slobo — and so it’s certain he’s somehow conked his natural hair-raising South Slavic tendencies to imitate the nerd in the back of the band bus with a name like Jonathan.
Napoleon Dynamite grow up to be a courtroom sketch artist. Where is the Liger?
“Too late. The living toupe leaped from a parapet into the inky night…”
This is a job for Super Chicken!

PityParty: Glad I’m not the only one who thinks of that episode when I see Blagojevich. Love it.
