POLITICS BUZZ: Says the indicted gov: “Dec. 9 to my family, to us, to me, is what Pearl Harbor Day was to the United States…It was a complete surprise, completely unexpected. And just like the United States prevailed in that, we'll prevail in this.” At least he didn't say 9/11.

POLITICS BUZZ: The New York Times unearths a bizarre detail about Governor Rod Blagojevich: aides must keep his black Paul Mitchell hairbrush on hand at all times. He calls it “the football,” after the “nuclear football” - the bomb codes that are always within reach of the president. Because f*cking with Rod's insane hair would be as disastrous as nuclear Armageddon. This guy is awesome.

Mrs. Blagojevich also had a long business relationship with Antonin “Tony” Rezko, the Chicago developer and former Obama fundraiser who was convicted on fraud charges earlier this year.
