My run-in with Gov. Rod!


Recommended Posts

Just before moving out to the 'burbs, my wife and I lived in a neighborhood right near where the Gov. lives. Now, his neighborhood is really pretty -- right on a lovely wooded stretch of the river -- and my wife and I liked to take walks through there every now and then.

 

A couple of weeks ago, I was out to lunch with Cary, in that old neighborhood, so I decided to show him where we used to walk. We were on our way back to a birthday party a little ways away, so we were in the car. Anyway, was was telling him stories about the old 'hood, and that where we were driving right then was right near where the disgraced former gov. lived.

 

Just then, we came to a stop sign, and stopped to let a guy walking a couple of dogs cross the street. Immediately following, was a jogger in a white T and sunglasses. The jogger ran RIGHT UP to our car, peeked in the window, and gave us a smile and a wave.

 

It was Gov. Rod!

 

For no reason, this guy just ran right up to us, peeked into our car, and took off.

 

I told my mom the story. Her response? "What an asshole!"

I caught an episode of that disaster "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" show on NBC with Mrs. Blago featured. She actually came across as a fairly nice & decent (and boring as hell) woman. Such a shame that her husband wasn't allowed to do the show - he would have been entertaining to watch.

I saw that. She certianly is loyal, she seems to believe that he was railroaded and is just a victim of the man.

Do you people live in IL? I cant believe anyone feels sorry for the Blago's, Patti or otherwise. Its obvious her little pitty fest/PR stunt is working though.

 

The only people I feel sorry for in this mess are the kids.

You are half right.....this is clearly a PR to try and sway any future jury members, but the other half is no one buys it (then again...)
