Poor Rod Blagojevich got a 14 year time out for his corruption conviction for trying to sell then Senator Obama's seat after he was elected president. Hey, it's a start.

Old Rodney got caught with his pants down Admitting to corruption and deceit Now he’s off to the hoosegow Where a new shower mate he'll soon meet His lawyers agree he is guilty He’s begging for mercy from the judge His mop top makes him look so sweet That to the inmates he will be fudge Now I’m no fan of Obama But even his seat is not for sale Until it is raffled for public bid The Supreme Court’s ruling did entail So unless you’re a GE or SONY To own that seat you should not even try Because corporate citizens all have got dibs With their contributions piled up high In the meantime see ya later Rodney You make a lovely poster child While providing the perfect corporate cover For their donations that are now running wild.

Patrick, As always, you seem to have your finger directly on the pulse. Great offering.

I feel certain he won't be lonely,,,,, In fact, I expect he'll have had several new lovers long before the New Year arrives.

Rod's vacation is well deserved. I'm sorry for his children though. They are paying a significant price for their father's corruption and greed.

So unless you�re a GE or a SONY,
To own that seat you should not even try

So sadly, corporations now own most Congressmen,
And most citizens in America don't even asky why

And to Mr. Rod, we say Have Fun in Prison & Bye-Bye

Federal lock up is a piece of cake,
Three hots & a cot & living by a lake,
Though still Rod will become a packer of fudge,
Or he will meet his maker covered in identifiable sludge...e
