Creativity at its finest
Man, those guys sure zinged Governor Blagojevich!
Governor Rod Blagojevich could have been snippy. He could have been terse. Instead, he had some fun with a group of College Republicans who came out to his appearance at the University of Illinois yesterday.
The group wore blue T-shirts emblazoned with an anti-Blagojevich slogan ("Blagojevich sucks") to protest a decision that could put some of the Illinois Student Assistance Commission's student loan portfolio up for sale.
The governor announced the program and touted its potential to provide student aid to more students. Then he looked at the College Republicans and said he wanted a T-shirt. In Blagojevich's words, "I promise you if I get a blue one like that, I'll wear it when I go out jogging."
The College Republicans quickly handed up a blue T-shirt and posed for pictures with the governor.

You gotta love Blago's self-deprecating humor. And such a clever slogan, College Republicans--did you get that from your eight-year-old little brothers, or what?

Apparently our friend Pete is a raging democrat! Gov. Self=deprecating humor is all Blago has!

That's possibly one of the coolest things a politician has ever done, after molesting young women of course.
