They must be preparing a padded cell for Illinois' beleaguered Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Facing an impeachment hearing which begins today, he's begun an all-out media blitz in an attempt to defend himself of the charges that he tried to sell Obama's Senate seat. In recent days, he's complained that the trial is rigged and compared himself to a cowboy being lynched for a crime he didn't commit as well as other jailed leaders such as Nelson Mandela, MLK, and Gandhi. During an interview with Diane Sawyer on "Good Morning America," he revealed that he considered Oprah to fill Obama's Senate seat.
Not surprisingly, his antics have caused his lead attorney to quit.
UPDATE: Oprah responds..
Had she instead been exercising on the treadmill, watching "Good Morning America," as is her typical morning routine, she said, "I probably would have fallen off the treadmill. I'm pretty amused by the whole thing."
