This guy is my hero. He is absolutely insane. Trying to sell a Senate seat, hustling a children's hospital, comparing himself to Ghandi, the list goes on and on. I applaud the voters of my home state for electing a delusional narcissist governor, it makes for amusing television.

He's a case study in Narcissistic Personality Disorder, to be sure.

I wish he would just come out and say something like 'corruption, what corruption? This is the Chicago way'.. He's probably the most colorful, outrageous politician that's been in the news in a long time.

I think I heard he compared himself to OJ also, as far as being unfairly treated and accused.

This guy is quite a character. He nominated Oprah to replace him.

For anyone else with a fetish for Chicagoans with NPD, check out The Real Housewives of Orange County for Vicky Gunvalson. She's..."colorful" too.

Yeah, well, from Obama to Oprah, one 5-letter name beginning with 'O' to another..

He was smart enough to know that the Senate would eventually seat whoever he nominated. I wonder what Harry Reid would have done if Blago had named himself to the seat. That would have produced some fireworks.

He's odd all the way around...including that coiff. I've heard the assertions that he is mentally ill and they are believable.

How does a Narcissistic Personality Disorder differ from a Borderline Personality Disorder?

I think he has also noted that he is the first "black" gov. of Ill. as well. That hair is awesome. Don't forget Satty, they RE-ELECTED him too! Long live his 4% approval rating.

NPD is a hell of a lot more entertaining. We've got a couple of Psych majors on the site (FOG and Enzora I believe, could be wrong) who could tell you more. Or just Wiki them.

Narcissistic and Borderline are clustered together as sort of "dramatic" personality disorders.

Narcissistic, as the name would suggest, involves a great deal of self-centeredness and overly grandiose sense of self, such as comparing yourself to Gandhi, or comparing being busted for criminal activities to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Borderline is basically the psycho ex-girlfriend personality disorder. Think Glenn Close in Fatal Atraction.

I dont know what it is- but i cant stand this guys hair. Im going to freak out the next time i see that hair.

He reminds me of an Eastern European or Russian movie villain..just needs a thick accent.

I think he is amusing as hell, but he should go. It is sad to see how this all happend and had he been honest and not so dumb as to sell a senate seat this never would have happend.

moltie. That's great.

A lady at work said he looked like one of those zombie people / living dead that you see in the movies.

However, your description seems to be more accurate.

I don't know, he reminds me of Tom Cruise.

Yup, and also NPD people tend to view themselves as the perpetual victim of framing or scapegoating, even when all evidence clearly points at them as the source of misdeads.

No Mr Bond, I expect you to DIE.

He's out of office now. The Illinois Legislature went so far as to bar him from holding public office in Illinois. I hope he does something very, very public. I'm thinking radio host (a la Rush Limbaugh) or maybe even give him a tv show. He's too whacked out to not keep out there.

I hope he rots in jail...

Maybe acting can be his next calling...I could see him as a villain or corrupt politician in the next 'Batman' movie, would add some local color (since the Batman movies are filmed in Chicago).

I would love to see/ hear him or maybe he could have a blog called the "Blagosphere" LOL

Ah yeah...someone already set up a BlagoBlog to discuss all things Blago

Don't ever trust anyone whose eyes are so close together. Take a good look at that beedy eyed little toad.
