Rod Blagojevich may have kicked out of office months ago, but don’t think for a minute he’s going anywhere.
The former Illinois governor has started his own personal Web site to praise his own “history making” achievements, let people know about his public appearances and look for work.
Case in point: The first post he has up under his “Rod in the News” section — him singing Elvis.
Last Friday, the disgraced politician was paid by a Chicago-based sound production studio to perform the King’s “Treat Me Nice” (although we think “Jailhouse Rock” would have been more appropriate) at a downtown block party.
“After I was wrongfully hijacked from office, and the job I had was taken away from me, you got to find work,” he told a confused crowd before busting into a velvety voice, swiveled his hips and, of course, worked his thick mop of Elvislike hair.
Aside from his Elvis impersonation, the site also boasts that he made “history in August 2009 when he became the first former elected official still facing charges to be named host of his own radio show” and that his is married to a woman who appeared on “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!,” a show he makes clear online was something he was originally “sought” to do by NBC.
