BLAGOJEVICH: "I'M A CELEBRITY...GET ME OUT OF HERE"

Patti Blagojevich, curse-spewing wife of former Illinois Governor Rod, who thought the best way to support his family was sellin' an appointment to a U.S. Senate seat, has a new gig.
Forgettabout makin' money by auctioning off public offices. The Blagojevich family will make its money the old fashioned way: reality TV appearances.
Rod wanted to do it himself. But a judge said no. Because the show is being filmed in Costa Rica, so Rod would have had to leave the country. And while federal corruption charges are pending against him, a judge thought it best that Rod stay put.
Enter Patti.
She will fly to LA to shoot a promotion for NBC's new reality show called "I'm a Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here".
On the Today show, Patti said she hopes her participation on the show will help her establish she is not the profanity-spewing person the federal wiretaps captured and played to the world. (Note to Patti: tapes do not portray a person as anything but precisely what they are...it's a tape, after all.)
Going out on a limb here to make a wild prediction: NBC's "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me out of Here" is going to die a speedy death. Don't even need to see it to leap there. If from the outset the best NBC can do is recruit wives of guys with lego-man-style hair who are up on federal charges and label her a celebrity for purposes of the show, it's goin' down.
S'pose what Patti might accomplish by splitting for Costa Rica is getting her two small kids used to being in a single parent household before dad likely departs for the big house....
