This is all I can find as far as Christmas-themed episodes. Unfortunately they started doing them more regularly after I stopped watching the show religiously, it seems.

hahaha okay. Now I get it.
Given that Blago had a 13% approval rating, I have a hard time imagining too many people being upset/surprised by this. There's a certain ring of "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" around here as far as I can tell.

Assuming he is convicted, what will that be, like 3 out of the last 5 governors doing time?

[quote]What is it about Illinois governors or former governors? Talk about your culture of corruption. In the modern era, former governors Otto Kerner and Dan Walker both went to federal prison, the former for taking bribes, the latter for financial improprieties at a savings and loan he ran. Jim Ryan, was forced from the governorship and is now serving prison time after being convicted on corruption. And now Blagojevich has been arrested. Does any other statehouse have anything approaching this rogues gallery, at least since the 1950s?[/quote]

there is also creepy illinois politician jack ryan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ryan_(Senate_candidate)
Jack Ryan (born circa 1960) is a Republican from the state of Illinois who was forced to withdraw from the 2004 United States Senate race due to an alleged sex scandal involving his relationship with his ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan. [1][2] His eventual replacement Alan Keyes would go on to lose the general election to Barack Obama, who would eventually be elected President Of The United States on November 4, 2008.
― n/a is just more of a character....in a genre polluted by clones (n/a), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:18 (fifteen years ago) link
YES. I remember Jeri Ryan. I also remember Alan Keyes. (How could one forget?)
Illinois is neat.
― atty at LOL (Jenny), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:20 (fifteen years ago) link
the star trek chick? weird. what was the scandal?
― some know what you dude last summer (Jordan), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:20 (fifteen years ago) link
In those files, Jeri Ryan alleged that Jack Ryan had taken her to sex clubs in several cities, intending for them to have sex in public.[1
oh come on, that's no big deal.
― some know what you dude last summer (Jordan), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Probably a bigger deal if you are going to run for office as a Republican in 2004 when it was all about the moral majority, family values, etc.

What's up with the governor's hair? He looks like Anton Chiguhr in "No Country for Old Men".

he styles his hair with yellow mustard, green relish, sport peppers, diced onion, chopped tomatoes, celery salt, and a pickle - no ketchup

isn't Alan Keyes still trying to keep O out of the White House til he "proves" his citizenship?
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:53 (fifteen years ago) link
Authentic LOLs @ nick and John.
There are a bunch of crazy right wingers debating the finer distinctions between a "birth certificate" and a "certification of live birth." I was unaware that Alan Keyes was involved, yet I am not surprised that he would be. That guy is a Class A Loon.
― atty at LOL (Jenny), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 21:11 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah wtf who the hell cares what Keyes does anyway

His attorney, Sheldon Sorosky, said afterward that Blagojevich "is very surprised and certainly feels that he did not do anything wrong."
Exactly how is this guy going to explain away the recordings in court?

xp - http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/12/09/ratner_blagojevich/ about how the Feds overreached their authority in 1) wiretapping and 2) investigating. I'll give them credit for sticking to their talking points even though the target of the investigation is a Democrat.
