Blago balls

Ever the attention whore, Hillary figures it's good time to get back in the spotlight.

With a twist on the Rev. Jesse Jackson - Barack Obama "I wanna cut his nuts off" remark, Hillary explains to New York Gov. David Paterson her technique to "grab and crush" Blagojevich's balls.

Paterson winced.

Blagoed

Snarling at the Associated Press, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich bristled at the news wire's misquotes that read:

AP News - (Gov. Blagojevich) kissed his state SUV, rode in his wife to the office and sat down on a bust of Lincoln at his desk Thursday behind an American flag to portray "a return to normalcy."

Still shouting as AP News quickly apologized and issued restatements, Gov. Rod said, "It was supposed to say, 'Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich kissed his wife, rode in his state SUV to the office and sat down at his desk Thursday behind a bust of Lincoln and an American flag to portray 'a return to normalcy!'"

anything goes

With members of Congress hard up for money due to the financial crisis, House Republican leader, Rep. John A. Boehner, R-Ohio leads two others on a "Trip to Strip" any fixtures they can see in the Capitol they could get money for by auctioning them on eBay.

Marble from the floors are also included in the money hunt.

When Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo. (left, unseen) reaches for Boehner's purple tie to sell, the House Republican leader intercepts Salazar's cash-strapped hand, to feign a friendly shake.

The two other men keep their distance.
