OMG-Rod: Colbert, Stewart & Letterman mock Blagojevich
Posted at 1:45 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11
G-FRAUD? Check out RedEye's Word on the Street post.
Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and David Letterman had some fun at the expense of Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was arrested Tuesday on corruption charges.
“Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich is arrested on corruption charges,” Colbert said on “The Colbert Report” Tuesday night. “It’s gonna take a huge bribe to get him out of this one.”
Stewart took pleasure in using the ultimate Chicago term “jagoff” for G-Rod, saying on “The Daily Show,” “It’s a rare privilege to see a true jagoff in action, take Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich.”
Stewart commented on the number bleeped-out words used by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in a Tuesday news conference.
“Holy eff-in bleep. Is this guy a governor or Lil Wayne?” Stewart said.
President-elect Barack Obama didn’t get away unscathed. Colbert explained that G-Rod was caught trying to sell Obama’s vacant Senate seat.
“I’m surprised Obama even needed a seat. I thought he just levitated,” Colbert said, adding that Blago’s actions were “a new low in dumb.”
David Letterman came up with a new word on "Late Show": Blagojeviching.
"It's one count of bribery, one count of fraud and one count of Blagojeviching," he said during his monologue. You can watch it here.
I’ve posted the Colbert and Stewart videos here. Enjoy.
