Tweet of the day— AP: Blagojevich asks media if they’ll continue to cover him or is this the ‘last hurrah.’

I think that really sums everything up quite well.

I’m watching Drew Peterson on ABC right now. The interviewer just asked, “your fiance’s father says that she’s naive and vulnerable and that you tricked her into a relationship. What do you think?” and Peterson said, “well, I don’t know about tricking her but I did romance her real good.”…Dude, come on. Maybe you didn’t murder your last two wives (Stacy or Kathleen Savio) but joking around with a television interviewer (who didn’t appreciate his jokes) just makes you look like an ass.

I do find it interesting that two of the most disgusting media whores live in Chicago (Peterson and Blago). Peterson and Blagojevich do have the same PR firm, The Publicity Agency, which appears to be doing an absolute joke of a job. I would love to know what my “Principles of Public Relations” professor David Guth would say about these two. I think they’d make for a nice case study.

Here, let me help you with your PR for free.

1. If your wife ever disappears, participate in a few interviews outside of your house soon after, crying and saying that you wished she’d come home and that you missed her. Do not immediately tell the media that she was cheating on you and say that she probably ran off with some man. In fact, don’t ever say that even if you think it. Do not give several television interviews, do not constantly whore yourself out to the media, and if you absolutely must participate in an interview do not talk about sex. DEFINITELY Do NOT get engaged to a 23-year-old less than 1.5 years after your fourth wife goes missing (and your third wife gets exhumed and her cause of death is ruled a homicide). Trim Shave your mustache.
   
2. If you are a governor and accused of trying to sell a Senate seat, trying to get the editorial board at a major newspaper fired by using the Cubs sale as leverage AND being a jerk, …well…don’t do any of those things as a start. Do whatever you can to avoid a 4% approval rating (October 2008—although what’s interesting is his approval rating went UP to 7% in December). Do not feud with the state’s politicians who could possibly vote to impeach you. Do not live in Chicago when the citizens of Illinois have paid for a mansion in Springfield and do not fly regularly from Chicago to Springfield when you CHOSE NOT TO LIVE IN SPRINGFIELD. Do not threaten to revoke funds from a children’s hospital when its CEO doesn’t contribute $50,000 to your campaign. Do not appoint someone to the Senate seat you are accused of trying to sell, even though legally you can. When it’s clear that there is no hope and impeachment is imminent, resign. Trim your hair Shave your head.

Man, I am good. Someone should pay me.
