Blagojevich Appears At Chicago Comic Con

Posted by samzenpus on from the bottom-of-the-barrel-villian dept.

theodp writes "Earlier this week, a federal jury convicted Former Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich of lying to the FBI and deadlocked on 23 other charges. Still, that didn't stop Blago from connecting with his 'loyal supporters' Saturday at the Chicago Comic Con, where the ex-Gov charged $80 for each photo taken with him and $50 for autographs. He even hob-knobbed with celebrities like Adam West and Richard Roundtree. 'I met Batman. I met Shaft, and I know something about getting the shaft,' Blagojevich said."

    He's a clown. It's is natural instinct to search out the nearest carnival-like environment. Preferably one with lots of rolling cameras.

    See, he's sitting in the Batmobile.

    Now, look at his name "Blagojevich".

    Remove the vowels...."Blgjvch"

    And....TA DA! Batman villain! He's incognito, though. When he's in his villain mode, he wears a brightly colored suit with skin tight pants with both political party's symbols all over it.

    There's many more like him. And there's another political villain called "Three face" - he's a Conservative, then a Liberal, and then a Centrist.

    They're out there and only Batman can save us!

      Damn, if only Adam We weren't so busy trying to figure out who was stealing his water.

    This is why we should vote for the greater evil. True villains don't have the time to waste on petty scandals.

    Blago is your standard corrupt Chicago politician. Remember, this is same the city where the dead rise to vote on a yearly basis.

    They should put up a candidate with the surname "Brain" then. Or "Brainsssssss". He'd win a landslide....

    Well, assuming he didn't get his.... well, brains eaten, that is.

      I don't think that would be an impediment to victory...

    Since he's an example of a real-life supervillan.
