I'm sorry to report the creator of Gumby has died. Art Clokey was 88.
Meanwhile, headlines about Illinois Ex-Governor Ron Blagojevitch have not died; his most recent utterance is -- I am not making this up! -- "I'm blacker than Barack Obama." O rilly? I'll take "Desperate cries for attention" for $500, Alex.

He has a point. BO was allegedly born in Hawaii, raised by white grandparents, sent to Harvard. I know more about what it is like to be a black man in America than he does.
I think it was Sharpton who described His Imperial Majesty as "A man who read a book about the civil rights movement and thinks he knows what it's like to be black in America."
What is it about politicians with bad rugs, anyway?
Nathan - Sad to say, I think that's his real hair. I think he's trying to poison the potential jury pool before he goes to trial.
He was Gumby, damnit!
RIP
Perhaps he was referring to his soul (assuming a politician whom has risen to his former position/prominence still possesses such a thing).
In "Your Moment of Zen" on the Daily Show last night, they showed Blago trying to walk his comment back.
In other news of the idiotic, Blagojevich is going to be a contestant on "Celebrity Apprentice".

Another reason to turn off the dang boob tube.
