Hair expert Blagojevich compliments wife … a lot

Hair expert and former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich isn’t the only one in his family with a sweet ‘do. He was caught Monday telling his wife he loves her haircut, too, according to freelance journalist Susan Berger.

Berger is live tweeting from Blago’s corruption trial. The judge told Blagojevich he no longer is allowed to tweet.

Berger also said Blago tells Patti everyday she is beautiful “and not just because she will testify.”

The big-haired Blago apparently has been at ease during court, smiling at his wife and passing her folded notes, according to the Associated Press. When not doing that, the AP reports, he “pats his trademark helmet hair to ensure the meticulously combed strands are in place.”

He even got a chuckle during court last week when a phone recording played Blagojevich’s brother talking about a woman he met at a fundraising dinner who said she loves their hair.
