Blago, via The New Yorker

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Indicted and impeached ex. Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been bumping around the national media so often lately that it doesn’t generally merit a lot of comment here at home.

But a piece in the new Sept. 28 edition of The New Yorker’s “Talk of the Town’‘ section is worth a look, if only for the drawing of him — which is, of course, all hair.

Blagojevich talked with NYer reporter David Remnick for the piece (which, right there, may call into question Blago’s judgment, if you needed another question about that).

Among the gems from Remnick’s snarky resulting article:

On the allegations against him: He is accused of “trying to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat as if it were a used Barcalounger on eBay, and, generally, running the state of Illinois as if its assets were his feudal preserve.”

On the federal wiretaps: They “sound like Lenny Bruce imitating Don Coleone.”

On the famous hair: “Blago’s coif . . . despite his many troubles, descends like a silken espresso curtain and then swerves suddenly to the side, revealing a gaze most innocent.”

And just in case you were getting nervous about what Blagojevich means when he keeps talking about getting back into politics when he’s finally exonerated in next year’s federal corruption trial in Chicago, what he tells Remnick should ease your mind: “I’m not necessarily saying I’m going to run for President.”
