2012 / Celeb Rod Blagojevich Was Even Dumber Than We Thought

Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 12:47 PM

Among the other things secretly recorded by the FBI: "that Blagojevich mentioned naming Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry to Obama's vacant Senate seat so he could 'have a shot' at having sex with her."

Well now it's definitely not going to happen

Sounds like a reasonable plan to me.

Oh come on, he had to be joking. There's no way he could have actually believed that would work, right? Right?

@4: Do have a better idea for getting into Halle Berry's pants?

Posted by seandr on August 9, 2012 at 1:19 PM

@5: Hear, Hear! We need some teamwork here. No bad ideas.

Isn't that how Palin got the VP slot?

@5,

What if I placed an "I saw you" ad? I saw her in the X-Men movie at about 9:30 at the Multiplex theater out at Clackamas Town Center down here in Portland. Meet for coffee/beer?

Wasn't he claiming that if the full tapes would get played they would exonerate him?

that's hilarious and there's no way he wasn't riffing. let him out.

What? What's so dumb about that? When has appointing Halle Berry to a Senate seat in order to have sex with her ever not worked?

I'm not saying it's smart I'm just saying unless you have actual proof that it doesn't work then you got to at least admit that it isn't necessarily dumb. It's unproven, that's all.

I guess it's the historical lack of interest in sex among those empowered to make political appointments that has left the whole question up in the air like this. Rod Blagojevich is a kind of modern pioneer, charting the unknown territory of using his office to get himself laid. Go boldly, intrepid explorer! Go boldly!

@4

Grandiosity. A classic symptom of narcissist personality disorder. Not sure why it surprises anyone that he demonstrates symptoms of a sociopath. He is one. It's been obvious from day one. A large portion of politicians are. Duh.

If thats true and I have serious, serious doubts. It was a joke. Are politicians aloud to tell jokes when they are you know having private conversations?
