America's Next Top Blago

We don't usually talk about politics on SparkLife, but the wackadoo antics of disgraced former governor Rod Blagojevich have forced us to make an exception.

Wiretapped, impeached, indicted on federal corruption charges, and generally regarded by the public as a miserable failure…well, it seemed like Blago had hit rock bottom. There was no way he could sink any lower! At least not without doing something completely asinine…something like, say, appearing on a bottom-of-the-barrel reality show alongside nine other human train wrecks, and subjecting the American public to an entire TV season’s worth of his smarmy mug.

But that would never happen, right? I mean, nobody could possibly be that much of an a—

Oh.

Blago has, indeed, agreed to appear on this summer’s NBC season of “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!”. But while we totally understand the appeal of shipping the disgraced politician off to the Costa Rican jungle for a few months—where, if we’re lucky, he just might be eaten by wild animals—why not create a program that really showcases Blago’s particular charms? May we suggest:

So You Think You Can Serve in the State Senate
The Amazing (Disg)race
Queer Eye for the Bad Guy
My Big Fat Obnoxious Not Guilty Plea
Are You Smarter Than a Racketeer
Who Wants to Marry a Hairpiece

… or, our favorite:

A Shot at Guv with Rod Blagojevich!

VH1, we’ll be waiting for your call.

Your turn! Will you be tuning in to see Blago on the small screen? Or do you wish he’d just go away?
