    His book will not make a dime.


    This kind of grim shit makes me glad Studs Terkel isn't around to see this.

    I would buy an audio book of Blago-Nut reading anything -- his poetry, his speeches, the transcripts of his wiretaps, even Ulysses.

    Why do I get the feeling the entire book is just going to be a collection of his favorite quotes from mob movies? Also, elaborate made-up gun fights with Rahm Emanuel.

    I'll be disappointed if it's not a book of poetry. Or at least his story told in a series of haikus.

    Since when did being a fan of Rudyard Kipling make you a lover of poetry?

    @pufflehuff: Tennyson's Ulysses? When I read Ulysses, I thought of Joyce. Echoes of Homer. But not Tennyson. God, he should stick to Kipling. Is "Ben Battle" next?

    @son of spam: 'Ulysses' is beautiful! However, Blago monotonely reciting the Molly Bloom "YES!" bit at the end of Joyce's one will mean that I can die a happy commenter.


    yes he said I was a golden flower of the senate seat yes so we are fucking golden flowers all a womans body yes we deserve cervical screening and mammograms lots of mammograms he said yes that was one true thing he said in his life and the sun shines for you today yes that was why I liked him because I saw he understood or felt what a woman is a political tool or a freely-expleting wife yes
