Sounds like Otter’s defense argument in ANIMAL HOUSE.

Rachel Maddow and Anderson Cooper both did the same shtik with this video last night.  (Rachel airs earlier so I’ll assume one of the Himbo’s assistants stole it from her.)  They took out a box of popcorn and started munching while the video rolled.  Priceless.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with this guy? I want to call him a sociopath or a psychopath, but I’m not sure he’s either. He has the arrested development of Bush, but I don’t get the impression he tortured animals like junior did. He almost merits his own category. We need our friend strange to compose a defining paragraph about blago.

I saw this on Rachel too.  I had taped it, so replayed it a couple of times, since the first time I was in a jaw dropping trance of shock and the second time I was laughing too hard to get it all.  Seriously, I really don’t want him to go to jail if he can keep entertaining us with this stuff.

But Blago, what if the guys in town actually had a video cam and taped you stealing the horse, huh?  And what if you paid the guys out at the ranch to lie for you?  Huh?  What then?

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Blago, the sheriff wiretapped you and found that you were willing to sell the ranch for more stolen horses.

Now I have the Blues Brothers version of “Rawhide” going through my haid.
