Impeached former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich listens to a caller as he guest hosts the Don and Roma radio talk show at the studios of WLS Radio in Chicago this morning. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)

Top Cutlines:

1. “It’s 27 minutes past the hour; I’m Rod Blagojevich, and the subject of today’s show is “Slush Funds”, and how, in this case, “Slush” isn’t something you find on city streets during winter weather” — Escapee.
2. Rod asked, “’scuse me, does this mike make my face look fat?” To which his co-host replied, “Look?” — Cabbage Boy.
3. The whiskey-drunk former governnor is given a face mask so he can better look the part of “Catcher in the Rye” — JohnA.

Blagojevich was allowed to talk in the show only if wearing a Hanibal Lecter mask. Can’t blame them.

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich said:”As host of this radio show, I’m like an umpire. I call balls and strikes and when a caller asks the tough questions, I can eject them from this program”.

I wish I could think of him as anything else but an idiot, I can’t.
