Blago should play Blago.

Yep. That's what I was going to say. But not because he'll soon be unemployed. We don't know that. Blago should play Blago because he's good looking, has boundless ego (like most actors), is very charismatic, and he's a good actor, as witnessed by the innocent look he manages to pull off on camera. He's a star!

Blago should play Blago because he's good looking, has boundless ego (like most actors), is very charismatic, and he's a good actor My four year old son was in the room when the news came on about Blagojevich being arrested. Trying to explain, I told him that Blagojevich was a "bad guy". About a day later my son asked me, "How could he be a bad guy when he's so handsome?"

I had to explain that one can't judge a person's character by how good-looking they are, etc. But it occurred to me that probably a lot of adults think this way too and maybe that is how he got elected.
