CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY LOOKIN' AT THE COVER

Blago’s Book Sure To Be Bestseller

Afterword by Roland Burris.There is only one way we’re buying Rod Blagojevich’s sure-to-be-shitty “inside story” about how he’s an “incompetent crook” and “washed-up circus clown” — and that’s if Chicago’s Lauri Apple actually provides the cover art. And the “book” is not actually written by Rod Blagojevich, and is also not about him at all. The back cover needs to be the famous “I CAN PARACHUTE ME THERE” illustration, the end.

    “Foreword by Paul Mitchell”

    Lauri Apple owes me a new keyboard.

  2. Fivetree says at 12:35 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    How many chapters will he devote to “the taint”?

  3. Noodle Salad says at 12:38 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    The Over/Under on when Blaggy dedicates his life to the wee baby Jesus and gets a gig with Fox News is 8 months.

    But, but, but… Rod Blagoyoubitch fights for us!!!!

    Sexytime!

  6. Dawn Keipuntsh says at 12:41 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    is that a Fudgesicle he has in his hand?

  7. Tommy Says Soooo says at 12:45 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    I’d buy it if it had a scratch-n-sniff of Mrs. B.

  8. Nerdalicious says at 12:46 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    Dawn Keipuntsh:
    Yes, Mittens it’s a Fudgesicle :)

    Tommy Says Soooo: …scratch and sniff taint?

  10. bitchincamaro says at 12:51 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    “It’s About ME, The People”

  11. Fivetree says at 12:55 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: Who will play the Taint in the made-for-tv movie? I cast Tony Danza as Blago, Judith Light as Mrs. B. and Wolf Blitzer (in one of those cameos that news types love SO much) as the Taint.

    I just noticed he has a Nike swish on his suit.

  13. Tommy Says Soooo says at 1:00 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: I have no idea what you replied. My ‘puter offsets thanks to Nerdalicious’ smiley face.

    Thus all I see is a black upraised fist below and and behind a smiley face.

    And perhaps, indeed, that is all I need to see.

  14. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:12 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    It looks like a coloring book and that seems appropriate.

  15. Gopherit says at 1:29 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: most taints are scratch, but never, ever sniff.

  16. Neilist says at 1:29 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    Say what you will, it’s guaranteed to be at a higher grade reading level than “George Herbert Walker Bush: What I Remember Of My ‘White House Years.’”

    Published by the Central Office, Alcoholics Anonymous Press.

    (Also available in blank type, for the morally impaired.)

  17. magic titty says at 1:29 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    This is fucking rad. And that quote WINZ forever.

  18. Accordion-o-rama says at 1:55 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    I’d like to see a graphic novel of Blago-Man and his trusty side-kick Wonder-Hair
    fighting evil DO-ers like The Cowlicker, Buzz Cutt, etc.

  19. hobospacejungle says at 2:06 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    Gopherit: most taints are scratch, but never, ever sniff.

    Uh, so I’m doin’ it rong? Smells faintly like beaver sometimes.

  20. Rary Guppert says at 2:15 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    somehow i doubt they’re going to spell “foreword” right.

  21. I think it should be called, “If I Had Done It.”

  22. lawrenceofthedesert says at 4:10 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    I’m not buying it unless the cover art is a painting of Rodney in nothing but his too few vowels by Bruce, official artist of the Old Town Ale House in Chicago, who no doubt will use his naked daughter as the model for it, or perhaps will feign deafness and wear a fright wig in an effort to get Blago onto the golf course to play for serious dough. Let’s not go too easy on Rod! After all, the Red States bloggers are massing on the border (probably of Indiana, birthplace of the Klan).

  23. this is why i left DC says at 5:45 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    I just died laughing at this picture. Whoever made it is a genius

  24. Scandalabra says at 6:35 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    Who is this mad genius Lauri Apple and when is her retrospective to open at MOMA?

  25. NJBrian says at 9:53 pm, March 3rd, 2009

    Who wouldn’t buy this book?

    It’s well worth a read. The guy is immensely interesting, if not downright bizarre.
