Embattled Illinois Gov. Blagojevich offered a radio show - if he resigns

It’s definitely not an easy time in the Blagojevich household. Rod Blagojevich has been impeached by the Illinois state House and faces an impeachment trial in the Senate. He faces Federal charges of trying to sell President Obama’s former US Senate seat, among other legal and ethical issues. Even Illinois First Lady Patricia Blagojevich was recently fired from her $100,000-a-year job as a fundraiser for a Chicago homeless agency. But “Blago” may have options. Citadel-owned talk station WLS-AM (890) in Chicago has offered Blagojevich his own Sunday talk show, but with one string attached – he must resign as Governor. The Associated Press quotes WLS PD Bob Stomper as saying the offer is on the table to “spare the state the embarrassment and expense of forcibly removing him from office.”

hey, NBC has prime time line up problems, maybe President Obama will resign if they offer him a show?

Just a thought...

Blago has not been indicted and apparently broke no law, yet the new Treasury Secretary is a confessed tax cheat.

Obama plays dirty, doesn’t he?

Obama already has his own show. It’s called “The NBC Nightly News”.

When I first heard this I thought there was no way I would ever listen to this. Then I remembered that WLS has a mainly conservative audience who would call Blago and rip him a new one every show. Does anyone else think he sounds like Mayor Quimby from the Simpsons?

Sounds more than a bit like Mass Gov Deval Patrick (who is
from Chicago and a friend of 0bama), too.

WLS story; the show would be Sun noon-2 pm if he accepts
it (and resigns as gov)

“Apparently broke no law”? What do you call extorting the president of a children’s hospital for $50K before releasing state funds?

What they have on now are 3 brain dead ditz’s call “Women of Mass Discussion”. I can’t listen to these 3 stupid broads for five minutes without turning off the program.

Blago would be a huge improvement. Of course dead air would also be a big improvement.

They really should go after Obambi and his attack dog, Raul.

That’s got to hurt Jerry Agar- they let him go a few months ago...

If anybody’s heard from him, tell him I’m trying to track him down.

Cheeze! They’re going to have to bribe Blago to go to jail the way things are going!

Contact Feder, he’ll know what Agar’s up to. I’d like him to go to WIND but he may have a market-wide-non-compete clause in his release. Agar was infinitely more acceptable than Mancow.

They already had a “social” show with (my favorite, other than Rush) with Roe Conn, they didn’t need another.
