Ha ha ha we called it dudes, a month ago! Rod Blagojevich will be on the radio tomorrow, filling in at Chicago’s WLS-AM from 7-9 in the morning.
It is not exactly “his own radio show, forever,” as predicted, but definitely a start in the right direction, and doubtless some other radio station will listen in on his hosting gig and realize the genius that is Rod Blagojevich, a genius that should never have been confined to Illinois state government but instead should have stretched its wings and flown on the sweet zephyrs of radio from the very beginning. Once he gets his own permanent show, he will be famous for realizing his most sacred dream — talking crazy insane bullshit on AM radio — instead of just being the losingest Illinois governor since the last one.

I’m buying stock in Gold Bond Medicated Powder and those gold futures thingies RIGHT NOW!
AN ENTIRE RADIO SHOW? He’s going to need a bigger parachute.
The calls must be priceless. Oh PLEASE would a Chicago Wonketteer record this? PLZ!!!
The 7-9 A.M. timeslot is a fucking valuable thing.
I would SO listen to this over NPR’s Morning Edition.
Great. Yet another human colostomy bag venting spleen over the airwaves. Did anybody tell Blago that the FCC frowns on using the word “fuck” on air?
I think the past few months have shown that the problem with my life is that I’m just a normal fuck up. In order to be successful in this country you have to be a serious, over the top, dubiously ethical screw up. In my next life, I want to be an investment broker with a large family created by shady fertility doctors and buy myself some sort of governership where I can sell positions for money.
Can someone explain the parachute thing to me, beside the fact that it’s insanely awesome?
I hope he does it using his Casey Kasem impression.
Loosen up. Swing, man. Dust off those gossamer wings and fly yourself to the moon of your choice.
Blago would look awesome in a checkered suit and red bowtie, like Rupert Pupkin.

Roland Burris is in line for the PM Drive slot. He still has some space on his mausoleum.
Burris would be great as a sidekick but if he’s too busy how about James Carville?
Please tell me the show is live, with no time-delay. Because, cussing.
I dunno, he’s a bit too Norma Desmond to be satisfied with a radio gig where he can’t show off his coiffure for too long. If I were Geraldo I’d watch my back.
In the meantime I look forward to seeing his Blaggy vinyl bus wraps advertising his show.
AM radio? But… we can’t see his hair on the radio. Someone please tell him he can have his own free cable access TV show, post haste!
I’m hoping the callers will include Nelson Mandella, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ghandi, all giving Blagy the pick thumbs up.
Advocatus_Diaboli: er, “big” thumbs up, but whatever, moran.

They have a live stream! Joy!
Atheist Nun: I plan on taking a handful of my pet’s shed fur, putting it in my mouth, and listening that way.
OH MY GOD I MIGHT HAVE TO GET UP AT 8 AM (NORMAL PEOPLE TIME) TO LISTEN TO THIS HILARITY
Colander: That sounds dander-y.
WLS - AM streams live
I thought all crooks, felons and perverts are either contributors or get shows on FOX.
Blago: I WANT A HAIRSTYLIST
WLS-AM: But it’s radio -
Blago: ME WANT HAIRSTYLIST NOW!!! BAWWWW
