Wonkette
Wonkette ideas-man operative “Jason” sends this video and writes, “A friend of mine works at WNYC and the staff have been sharing this AWESOME clip of Blago pathetically fiddling with a pair of headphones. Let’s all point and laugh at him.” Good idea. Ha ha ha ha, look at this guy! WHAT IS HE EVEN DOING? [YouTube]
Liar.
Ever seen a guy struggle to open a condom wrapper while the clock ticks….this sort of reminded me of that.
Hey, a pair of headphones is a fucking valuable thing.
Are we sure he’s trying to put on headphones? Could he be getting ready to fuck a chicken? I mean, sometimes before sex I get all fumble-fingered.
That was comical as hell without sound. I can hardly wait to hear it for realz.
RoscoePColtraine: More like struggling to get the condom onto the dickhead, is what it reminds me of.
You expect him to mash the headphones down over his hair?! That would be like taking a set of Baccarat crystal and tossing them into the trunk of your car.
Poor guy is just trying to protect his (helmet of) hair.
He’s a parody of himself. And he was a clown before. What next, I ask: WHAT NEXT?!?

Best,
MISTAHCOUGHDROP
P.S. I promise not to post about this anymore… but I want you lovely folks to know there are other things happening…!
Haha, he can’t get them to fit on his comically massive head!
If we hadn’t LAUGHED AT Meghan, she might have sent along stuff from his appearance on the View.
MISTAHCOUGHDROP: If you go off topic, would you be kind enough to make us laugh? At the very least?
There are certain skills one needs to masterfully govern a major U.S. state. The putting-on-of-headphones is not one of them.
Hair Powr! Say it loud and say it proud. Hair Powr!
the problem child: Sounds like SOMEBODY needs to buy bigger condoms. Woof!
we need a music in the clip, I’m calling for a contest.
MISTAHCOUGHDROP: GOOD LUCK WITH THAT MISTAHCOUGHDROP. That looks much, much better than Blago.
MISTAHCOUGHDROP: Obvious shill is obvious.
Did anyone hear Blago on Howard Stern the other day? He fit right in. I think Howard has a replacement for Artie now when he finally OD’s on heroin.
Liebestod: Anything by Wandering Nomad would be great.
My theory is that Blagojevich is actually 7 yrs old, and just got cursed or whatever like Tom Hanks in Big. What grown man would say “I could just parachute myself right in there”?
Woot! I love WNYC. I get most of my news from WNYC and Wonkette.
I think he was trying not to ruffle his fabulous ‘do.
Careful Blago, those headphones are a fuckin valuable thing.
Heh. I have the same headphones (and the same hair!) as Blaggy.
Sony MDR-7506 headphones are the best set of cans I’ve ever heard for under $100. They do kinda get flippy-aroundy on you though, because of the way they are designed to fold into themselves, for more compact storage.
I particularly enjoy the way the off-camera person just stands there (laughing?) while Blago’s desperation turns to panic.
I thought he was in heaven preparing the feast of whores and booze for Ted Kennedy (http://wonkette.com/410913/your-friday-cartoon-explanatorium)? You’d think the headphones in heaven would be a little less unwieldy.
Should’ve had Leonard Lopate give him personal instruction. Hell, I’d fly up to help out Blago, so long as he let me fondle his potty mouthed wife.
Do you think he knows radio shows can be recorded yet?
he was just doing his hilarious Chevy Chase impersonation
He’s adorable. Like a little puppy taking a dump.
My hair! Tito, my HAIR!!!!111!!
At the risk of a ban from one of my favouritist sites ever, I’d like to defend the actions you see Mr Blagojevich taking part in above.

Didn’t Blagojevich leave government? I thought it was improper to investigate officials for criminal wrong doing once they left government? Or is that only true for torture?
It’s like Sputnik. Generally round, but pointy at parts!
politicians don’t know how to actually do anything.
he’s got the hair for radio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
RoscoePColtraine: “Ever seen a guy struggle to open a condom wrapper while the clock ticks….this sort of reminded me of that.”
Maybe you should roll over and face away from them while they put the condom on. If you watch them put the thing on, it can’t possibly help their performance anxiety….or….wait….
Maybe I misunderstood.
jagorev: Me too. But I never thought we’d witness the confluence. Leonard Lopate on teh Wonkette has gotten me all starbursty. Blago and that hairball, not so much.
Lascauxcaveman: yep, studio classics. and they DO do that flippy shit; i’ve never identified so much with the guy! it even looks like they’ve not yet be given the needed crush-squeezing to curve the metal head band so it doesn’t constantly press down on the center of your head… of course here it might just be a visual distortion caused by his fantastic hair…
Looks to me like a whole lot of nothing, Wonkette. No video . . .
Methinks you best apologize for besmirching Blagojevich’s good name.

Hey, wasn’t Rod also “removed by user”?

I’m sure you’re at least as well informed as if you watched CNN. Or read the Washington Post.
