An alternative explanation of why Blag is everywhere
(Now Former) Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, originally uploaded by Taekwonweirdo.
I am quite probably not the first person to come up with this, but I have an alternate explanation for Rod Blagojevich’s attention-whoring antics: I think that somebody believes that he is desperate enough to spill some beans. I have no idea what kinds of beans, but bad beans. Beans worth killing for. So let’s say Mr Blag is on a hit-list. What would be a better way to ensure that he did not meet an unfortunate accident than to stay in the public eye? Always a good thing. The minute you drop off the radar then people forget about you and you are subject to having heart attacks or plane crashes. When you are no longer a public figure, no longer identified as being the subject of massive controversy nobody cares how you died.
Look, before you dismiss me as a raving conspiracy nut, let me point out that the government has to have some kind of mechanism for carrying out assassinations that look like anything but. It would be too useful, too obviously necessary. Hell, I a don’t have trillions of dollars at my disposal, nor am I perpetually embroiled in high stakes espionage but even I have need of this kind of thing. There are people I know that the world, and my life, would be better off without. You have them too.
Maybe Blag, instead of just being an annoying little gadfly is trying to stay alive. Helmet hair or not you can’t fault the man. I strongly suspect that when we stop hearing about him we will shortly thereafter find out that he passed away peacefully in his sleep or something.
