Ask Blago

When I first learned that Rod Blagojevich was getting his own Sunday afternoon radio show on WLS 890 AM, I rolled my eyes like the majority of other Chicagoans. However, a few weeks ago, my father forced me to listen to the broadcast at his house, and ever since then, if I'm in the car on a Sunday afternoon, I make it a point to tune in.

Blago is HILARIOUS! Listeners can call in and talk to him about anything that's on their minds. The majority of the program is taken up with Blago's rants about greedy politicians and how the government is corrupting society, etc. He tosses around the phrase "When I was governor" approximately once every 30 seconds, and he loves to point the finger at his enemies in Illinois politics and tell his callers why those people are to blame for absolutely everything that's wrong with the world. Some people call in to discuss serious issues, like veterans benefits. Other people call to tell Rod how great he was during his recent performance at Second City, etc.

I'm assuming that the calls are incredibly well screened, because as of yet I have yet to hear anyone call and chide Blago for being an insult to American politics, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who would like to do just that. Still, if you're bored next Sunday afternoon and are looking for some quality entertainment, check out Blago's talk show from noon to 2 p.m.
