Okay, so the offer doesn’t carry the prestige of Eliot Spitzer’s transition to writing for Slate, but Rod Blogojevich is a different kind of disgraced Democratic ex-governor. He’s always harbored fantasies about playing in his own field of dreams, and if a minor league baseball team wants to extend an invitation to play with them for a season, then by gum! he’ll be the newest Joliet JackHammer.
If they offer cold hard cash, Blago will come. The amenities package is respectable too, as management promises “exceptionally comfortable” travel arrangements, with his own seat on the luxury bus and his own room at hotels. His own room! Typically, a player would have to be a veteran of the team to get that level of respect from the big wigs!
Rod Blagojevich should take up the Joliet JackHammerz’ exceeding generous offer. What else is he going to do to occupy his time before his federal trial begins? Play with his crayons?
