The Blagojevich Dog-and-Pony Show

Rod Blagojevich never fails to impress me. Even after protesting his innocence for so long, even though the evidence was clearly there, and then going on to name a Senate seat pick when he was clearly asked not to do so by the incoming Commander-in-Chief (amongst others), and finally getting impeached,he refused to fade into the background.
And following on with his strange behavior on Jan 09, 2009, just after hearing the House voted 114-1 to impeach him, he organized an elaborate press conference in which he once again presented himself as the victim to dirty politics. Even though he never once mentioned his involvement with selling the seat formerly held by President Elect Obama, he did mention all the good things he had done for the people of Illinois, almost painting himself as a Robin Hood of sorts. He paraded a few of his "friends" on stage, just another form of him showing the people what a cheap and substandard person he really is. And his constant claims of him being the people's choice is becoming quite tired now, when we see that all the people of Illinois want is a effective, working government.
I found a video of the said press conference and it is amusing to look at.
